KCD 2 Hardcore Mode Unveils New Perks: Sore Back, Clumsy Steps

If you felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* was not challenging enough, Warhorse Studios has great news for you. They are rolling out an upcoming update that introduces a hardcore mode, designed to ramp up the difficulty and enrich your gameplay experience. This mode allows players to activate specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, making your journey through the medieval world even more demanding and immersive.

Here’s a breakdown of the challenging perks you can choose from:

• Sore Back: This perk reduces the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increases the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms. It's perfect for those who want to feel the strain of a heavy load.
• Heavy Footsteps: With this perk, your shoes will wear out faster, and your steps will be louder, making stealth much more challenging. It's a must for players who enjoy the thrill of sneaking around.
• Dimwit: This perk slows down your experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously emphasizes this drawback twice in the perk description, ensuring you know exactly what you're getting into.
• Sweaty: Activate this perk, and Henricus will become dirtier and smellier more quickly, which can negatively impact social interactions. It adds a realistic touch to the game's social dynamics.
• Ugly Mug: This perk increases the likelihood of random encounters turning into difficult fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight until the end. It's ideal for players who crave intense combat scenarios.

These new additions are set to provide a more immersive and challenging experience for those seeking a tougher adventure in the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills, enhance your stealth gameplay, or simply enjoy a more demanding combat experience, these perks will certainly make your journey through medieval Bohemia more memorable.
