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

Warhorse Studios is enhancing the challenge in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 with a forthcoming update introducing a hardcore mode. This mode allows players to activate various negative perks impacting protagonist Henry's gameplay.

Several demanding perks are available, each presenting unique difficulties:

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

These additions aim to create a more immersive and demanding experience for players desiring a significantly harder Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 adventure.
