The best mods for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Now let's look at the best and most essential mods for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Fast Launch
A fantastic quality of life mod, Fast Launch allows you to quickly boot the game without any of the intro cinematics. We know how annoying they can be, so we couldn't not mention this one.
Unlimited Saving II
Unlike most games, you won't find the option to save your game in the settings menu. Therefore, if you're wondering how to save your Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 game, then this mod may come in hand for you.
Unlimited Saving II allows you to save your game anywhere, without the need for a Saviour Schnapps potion, the elixir you will otherwise need to ensure you don't lose any quest progress.
WeightRadiusXP
Sticking with the quality of life mods, our next mod is the WeightRadiusXP mod. This mod gives you more carrying capacity, a wider range for picking herbs, and increases the rate in which you earn XP. Sure, it's a bit scummy, but who cares if you're having fun?
Lasting Potions
Sick of brewing potions? Not a fan of alchemy? Don't worry, this mod will take some of that time away, making it so the effect of potions will last longer.
Food Doesn't Spoil
Food is incredibly important in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 as your hunger will deplete alongside your stamina. The tough part about that is that food will spoil if you don't consume it fast enough, so use this mod to prevent that from becoming an issue.
Remove Fog of War
If you don't like having to trek around an entire map in order to know the important places to visit, this mod will be important for your experience. Removing all the clouds that hide parts of the map, the Remove Fog of War mod for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 makes your playtime that little less tedious.
Overpowered Arrows
This mod is a little bit of a double-edged sword... or arrow? We guess?
If you enjoy archery in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it'll make your arrows hit enemies harder, but it will also make their arrows hit you harder too. At least it's consistent with the brutal aspects of the game, right?
Magic Horse Shoes
The Magic Horse Shoes mod does exactly what it says on the tin, it gives your horse a pair of magical shoes. But what exactly does that mean?
With the Magic Horse Shoes mod in KCD2, your horse will instantly become maxed out, making it the best horse across all maps and regions.
Easy Combat
One of the things that sets KCD2 aside from other RPGs is the combat. Unlike most other RPGs, you aren't a one-man army, and if you attempt to be, you'll soon find yourself in an early grave.
The Easy Combat mod alleviates some of the struggle, making it so enemies can no longer block your riposte. They'll still be able to block your regular attacks - as long as you want them to - so the challenge won't be entirely gone.
Rich Merchants
Although it sounds like it won't be beneficial to you, the Rich Merchants mod will fill the pockets of all the merchants on the map, meaning that there'll be far more for you to steal from them.
More Stamina
This one is a little obvious. It gives you more stamina. And that makes it really useful.
Seriously, stamina can be a nightmare in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, so giving yourself more of it is something we really can't blame you for.
