For those who felt that *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* lacked sufficient difficulty, the developers at Warhorse Studios are stepping up to the challenge with an exciting upcoming update. This patch will introduce a hardcore mode, allowing players to tailor their experience by activating specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, significantly altering the gameplay dynamics.
Players can select from a range of challenging perks, each designed to bring unique complications to the game:
- The "sore back" perk will limit the maximum weight Henricus can carry, while also increasing the risk of injury when foraging for herbs and mushrooms.
- Opting for the "heavy footsteps" perk will cause Henricus's shoes to wear out faster and make his steps louder, which can compromise stealth missions.
- Choosing the "dimwit" perk will slow down experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously emphasizes this drawback twice in the perk description, ensuring players are well aware of the impact.
- The "sweaty" perk will cause Henricus to become dirtier and smellier more quickly, which can negatively affect social interactions within the game.
- Lastly, the "ugly mug" perk increases the likelihood of random encounters turning into tough fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will battle to the bitter end.
These new additions are designed to provide a more immersive and challenging experience for players seeking a more demanding adventure in the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. By introducing these optional hardships, Warhorse Studios aims to cater to those who crave a tougher journey through the medieval landscapes of the game.
