For those who found *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* a bit too easy, rejoice! Warhorse Studios is rolling out an update that promises to crank up the challenge. Introducing a new hardcore mode, players will now have the option to toggle specific perks that bring unique negative effects to Henricus, transforming your gameplay into a more demanding adventure.
Dive into the world of increased difficulty with these challenging perks:
- Sore Back: This perk will reduce the maximum weight Henricus can carry and heighten the risk of injury when foraging for herbs and mushrooms. It’s not just about what you can collect, but how much you can handle.
- Heavy Footsteps: With this perk, Henricus's shoes will wear out faster, and his steps will become louder, making stealth missions significantly trickier. Sneaking around just got a whole lot harder.
- Dimwit: Brace yourself for a slower experience gain by 20%. Warhorse Studios humorously doubled down on this drawback in the perk description, ensuring you feel every bit of the challenge.
- Sweaty: This perk will make Henricus dirtier and smellier at a quicker rate, affecting social interactions. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about smelling good too.
- Ugly Mug: With this perk, random encounters are more likely to turn into tough fights, as enemies will refuse to surrender and battle to the bitter end. Your face just became your biggest challenge.
These additions are designed to enhance immersion and challenge for players eager for a more demanding journey through the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Get ready to test your skills and endurance like never before!
