KCD 2 Hardcore Mode: New Perks Like Sore Back, Clumsy Steps, and More

Warhorse Studios is enhancing the difficulty of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 with a forthcoming update introducing a hardcore mode. This mode allows players to select from several challenging perks, each imposing unique negative effects on the protagonist, Henry.

These perks add layers of complexity to the gameplay:

• Sore Back: Reduces Henry's carrying capacity and increases injury risk during foraging.
• Heavy Footsteps: Accelerates shoe wear and increases noise, hindering stealth.
• Dimwit: Reduces experience gain by 20% (yes, 20%!).
• Sweaty: Causes Henry to become dirtier and smellier faster, affecting social interactions.
• Ugly Mug: Increases the chance of peaceful encounters escalating into difficult, no-holds-barred fights.

This hardcore mode aims to deliver a significantly more immersive and demanding experience for players craving a tougher challenge in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's world.
