For players who found Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a tad too easy, Warhorse Studios is rolling out an exciting update to ramp up the challenge. The much-anticipated patch introduces a hardcore mode, allowing players to dive into a more demanding gameplay experience by selecting specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus.
The new hardcore mode offers a range of challenging perks, each designed to complicate your journey in unique ways:
- The "sore back" perk limits the maximum weight Henricus can carry and heightens the risk of injury when foraging for herbs and mushrooms.
- The "heavy footsteps" perk accelerates the wear and tear on shoes and increases the noise level of Henricus's steps, making stealth missions tougher.
- The "dimwit" perk slows down experience gain by a significant 20%, a fact humorously highlighted twice by the developers in the perk's description.
- The "sweaty" perk causes Henricus to become dirtier and smellier more quickly, negatively affecting social interactions.
- The "ugly mug" perk increases the chances of random encounters escalating into tougher fights, with enemies refusing to surrender and battling to the bitter end.
These new additions are crafted to deliver a more immersive and challenging experience, catering to those players who crave a more demanding adventure in the richly detailed world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
