Best mods in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Now you know how to get them working, let's take a look at the best mods for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, from quality of life changes to pure cheats.

Unfortunately, you can't turn your horse into Shrek yet, but we're sure that's on the way.

Unlimited Saving 2

Let's start with the purely practical. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's saving system isn't unlike the Ink Ribbon system from the old Resident Evils. You have to use one of your Saviour Schnapps every time, which is hardly ideal if you've run out, and need to quit quickly due to a real-life emergency.

Use this mod to save whenever you want. You can download it here.

Unlimited Weight Radius XP

We all know the pain of being over-encumbered in an RPG like this. It sucked in Oblivion almost 20 years ago, and it sucks in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Use this mod to pick up whatever you like, whenever you like.

Easy Smithing

Many of the tasks in the game take a long time, and smithing is one of the most tedious. It's pretty fun the first time, but going through all that hammering every time? We'd rather be doing something else.

Download Easy Smithing here so you can spend more time exploring the map.

Overpowered Arrows

This one's a pure cheat, but there's nothing wrong with a power trip every now and again. Use this mod to increase the strength of your arrows, and potentially one-shot your foes from afar.

But beware, your enemy's arrows are stronger too, so it's a double-edged sword. Or, um, double-sided arrow?

No Player Map Marker

Finally, one that actually makes Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 more challenging. The No Player Map Marker mod does exactly what it says on the tin, removing the player marker from the map.

They didn't have GPS back then, so why not explore and navigate exactly how Henry would? Definitely more rewarding if you're up for the challenge.

Aggressive Combat AI

If you're wanting even more of a challenge during your KCD2 playthrough, this mod is the one for you.

By removing the attack delays on NPCs along with making them more aggressive, duels against opponents become even tricker to overcome.

Fast Launch

Want to avoid all of the cinematics of KCD2's introduction, the Fast Launch mod is one that is particularly useful.

Once installed, there's no cinematics meaning you can get straight into Bohemia as fast as possible.

Download it here.

Magic Horse Shoes

Another KCD2 mod that is worth adding to your collection involves some magic horseshoes.

Equip the horseshoes onto your noble steed to earn maximum stats immediately, removing the process of levelling up your four-legged companion.
