For those who felt that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 lacked sufficient difficulty, the developers at Warhorse Studios are set to spice things up with an upcoming update. This patch introduces a hardcore mode, allowing players to customize their gameplay by activating specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, thereby enhancing the challenge and immersion of the game.
Players will have the option to select from a range of challenging perks, each designed to complicate Henricus's journey in unique ways:
- The "sore back" perk reduces the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increases the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms, making resource management more critical.
- The "heavy footsteps" perk accelerates the wear of shoes and amplifies the sound of Henricus's steps, making stealth missions much harder to execute.
- The "dimwit" perk, humorously highlighted by the developers, slows experience gain by 20%, making progression a more deliberate and thoughtful process.
- The "sweaty" perk causes Henricus to become dirtier and smellier more quickly, which can negatively impact social interactions and diplomacy within the game.
- The "ugly mug" perk increases the likelihood of random encounters escalating into difficult fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end.
These new additions are aimed at providing a more immersive and challenging experience for players seeking a tougher adventure in the richly detailed world of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Whether you're looking to test your survival skills, strategic thinking, or combat prowess, these perks will ensure that every decision counts.
