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

For those who found *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* a bit too easy, Warhorse Studios is rolling out a new update that promises to crank up the challenge. With the introduction of a hardcore mode, players can now dive into a more demanding gameplay experience by choosing from a range of challenging perks that impose unique negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus.

Here’s a breakdown of the perks you can activate:

• Sore Back: This perk cuts down on the maximum weight Henricus can carry and heightens the risk of injury when foraging for herbs and mushrooms. It’s perfect for players who want to feel every strain and struggle of medieval life.
• Heavy Footsteps: With this perk, Henricus's shoes wear out quicker, and his steps become louder, making stealth a tougher proposition. Sneaking around just got a lot more challenging!
• Dimwit: If you're looking to slow down your progress, this perk reduces experience gain by 20%. The developers even doubled down on this effect in the description, ensuring you know exactly what you're getting into.
• Sweaty: This perk causes Henricus to get dirtier and smellier faster, which can sour social interactions. It's a fun way to add realism to the game’s social dynamics.
• Ugly Mug: Choose this perk, and you’ll find that random encounters are more likely to turn into brutal fights. Enemies won’t surrender and will fight to the bitter end, making every confrontation a potential nail-biter.

These new additions are designed to deepen the immersion and ramp up the difficulty for players who crave a tougher journey through the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills, sharpen your stealth, or simply endure the harsh realities of medieval life, this update has you covered. Get ready to face the challenge head-on!
