KCD 2 Hardcore Mode Unveils New Perks: Sore Back, Clumsy Steps

If you felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* didn't quite challenge you enough, Warhorse Studios has heard your feedback and is rolling out an exciting update. The upcoming patch will introduce a new hardcore mode, allowing players to customize their experience with challenging perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, thus intensifying the gameplay experience.

Players can now select from a range of demanding perks, each designed to add unique complications to the game:

• The "sore back" perk will reduce the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increase the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms, making resource management a tougher challenge.
• Opting for the "heavy footsteps" perk means shoes will wear out faster, and Henricus's steps will be louder, significantly impacting stealth gameplay and requiring more strategic movement.
• The "dimwit" perk, humorously highlighted twice by the developers, slows down experience gain by 20%, challenging players to think more critically about their skill progression.
• With the "sweaty" perk, Henricus will become dirtier and smellier more quickly, affecting social interactions and adding a layer of realism to the character's hygiene.
• Lastly, the "ugly mug" perk increases the likelihood of random encounters turning into difficult fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end, making every encounter more perilous.

These new additions are set to provide a more immersive and challenging experience for players looking for a tougher adventure in the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're seeking to test your survival skills, enhance your strategic gameplay, or simply want a more demanding journey, this update promises to deliver just that.
