KCD 2 Hardcore Mode: New Perks Like Sore Back, Clumsy Steps, and More

by Oliver Mar 22,2025

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 players who craved a more challenging experience will soon get their wish. Warhorse Studios is releasing an update introducing a hardcore mode, packed with selectable perks that significantly ramp up the difficulty. These perks don't just add a little spice; they fundamentally alter how you play as Henry.

Choose your suffering wisely, as each perk brings unique complications:

Sore Back: Reduces Henry's carry weight and increases the risk of injury while gathering herbs and mushrooms.
Heavy Footsteps: Accelerates shoe wear and makes Henry louder, hindering stealth.
Dimwit: Reduces experience gain by 20% (yes, you read that right, 20%!).
Sweaty: Makes Henry dirtier and smellier faster, impacting social interactions.
Ugly Mug: Increases the likelihood of encounters escalating into brutal fights, as enemies will refuse to surrender.

These additions promise a far more immersive and demanding playthrough for those seeking a truly grueling adventure in the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 world.
