Best Badges in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Ranked
10. Badge of Defense
For those who face opponents relying heavily on powerful badges, the Badge of Defense is a game-changer. It neutralizes the effects of your opponent's badges, rendering their perks ineffective. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each variant cancels out badges of the same quality. It's your go-to counter if you're up against players using Warlord or Doppelganger badges. You can purchase it from Karl von Unterbruck under the Bridge in Trosky or from Minstrel Roxanne at random roadside camps.
9. Badge of Fortune
When the dice aren't rolling in your favor, the Badge of Fortune comes to the rescue. It allows you to reroll selected dice once per game, helping you recover from a potential bust. The Tin version lets you reroll one die, Silver allows two, and Gold offers three rerolls. This badge can be pickpocketed or looted from Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
8. Badge of Transmutation
The Badge of Transmutation is perfect for keeping your scoring streak alive. It lets you change a die after rolling: Gold turns any die into a 1, Silver into a 5, and Tin into a 3. Since 1 and 5 can score independently, this badge is invaluable. You can buy it from Henslin Schaber at roadside camps.
7. Badge of Might
To increase your chances of landing big combos, the Badge of Might adds an extra die to your roll, significantly boosting your odds of hitting high-scoring sets. The Gold version can be used three times per game, while Silver and Tin are more limited. Combine this badge with special dice for maximum effect. It can be looted from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam's office in Kuttenberg.
6. Warlord’s Badge
Sometimes, a single round can turn the tide of the game. The Warlord’s Badge increases your points for one turn, making it a pivotal tool if used strategically. The Tin version adds 25%, Silver gives 50%, and Gold doubles your points. You can buy it from Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or from tavern staff.
