For those who felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* lacked sufficient difficulty, Warhorse Studios is rolling out an exciting update to address this concern. The upcoming patch will introduce a hardcore mode, enabling players to tailor their experience by activating specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, significantly altering the gameplay dynamics.
Players will have the option to select from a range of challenging perks, each designed to bring unique complications to the game:
- Sore Back: This perk reduces the maximum weight Henricus can carry and heightens the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms, making resource management more critical.
- Heavy Footsteps: Activating this perk causes Henricus's shoes to wear out more quickly and increases the noise of his steps, making stealth missions more challenging and requiring players to be more strategic.
- Dimwit: A humorous yet punishing perk that slows Henricus's experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios playfully emphasizes this drawback twice in the perk description, ensuring players are well aware of the impact.
- Sweaty: This perk makes Henricus become dirtier and smellier faster, affecting social interactions and adding a new layer of realism to the game's social dynamics.
- Ugly Mug: Choosing this perk increases the likelihood that random encounters will escalate into tougher fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end, intensifying combat scenarios.
These new additions are crafted to offer a more immersive and challenging experience for players who crave a tougher adventure in the rich world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. By opting into these perks, players can significantly enhance the difficulty and depth of their gameplay, making every decision more impactful and every encounter more thrilling.
