For those who felt that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was not challenging enough, Warhorse Studios is set to roll out an exciting update that promises to crank up the difficulty. The upcoming patch introduces a hardcore mode, enabling players to customize their experience with unique perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus. This new mode aims to offer a deeper and more demanding gameplay experience.
Players can select from a range of challenging perks, each designed to bring its own set of complications to the game:
- The "sore back" perk limits the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increases the risk of injury when foraging for herbs and mushrooms.
- The "heavy footsteps" perk causes shoes to wear out more quickly and makes Henricus's steps louder, impacting stealth capabilities.
- The "dimwit" perk reduces experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously emphasizes this drawback twice in the perk's description, highlighting its significant impact on gameplay.
- The "sweaty" perk accelerates the rate at which Henricus becomes dirty and smelly, affecting social interactions within the game world.
- The "ugly mug" perk increases the likelihood of random encounters escalating into tough fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end.
These new additions are crafted to deliver a more immersive and challenging adventure for players seeking a tougher experience in the rich world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills or simply want a more demanding playthrough, this update is set to enhance your journey through medieval Bohemia.
