The fact that Warhorse Studios decided upon an extremely ambitious and realistic open-world medieval RPG as its first game is something that needs to be commended. In this context, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is easily one of the greatest achievements of any gaming studio, with the game being a highly enjoyable — if somewhat buggy — romp from start to end.

That being said, Kingdom Come is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and some fans might want to mitigate a few annoyances by integrating a whole host of mods that can optimize and improve the overall experience of this title in many ways. Therefore, let's highlight a couple of the best KCD mods for fans who want to tweak or significantly change a few things.

Updated February 24, 2026, Mark Sammut: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's success might motivate new players to try out the original, and they definitely should. However, as KCD is a bit rough around the edges compared to its bigger, prettier sequel, you might want to install a few mods that help lessen some of its more frustrating elements.

24 More EXP(5x_10x_20x)

A Mod That Turns Henry Into A Super Quick Learner

Starting things off with a Kingdom Come: Deliverance mod that explains itself, More Exp just, well, gives you more experience points. Basically, you can multiply the amount of experience gained by using skills, combat, or training by either 5, 10, or 20. Any RPG with a leveling system will, sooner or later, receive this mod, and most games are more willing to dish out experience than Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Henry learns and improves by doing, so leveling up can be quite slow and laborious, particularly if the process involves engaging with mechanics that a player doesn't like.

Although a basic concept, this mod has a pretty big impact on KCD, as it greatly reduces the grind required to gain levels. Admittedly, complete newcomers might struggle with the combat if they level up so quickly that they never fully learn the system, but this mod can be useful for repeat playthroughs.

23 Armor Balance Overhaul

Tweakes Progression For Armor, Allowing Early Upgrades To Matter More

Armor Balance Overhaul

Given the weight and coverage of plate armor, it makes sense for a fully-armored knight to be nigh impervious in combat. Unfortunately, the general difficulty of combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance doesn’t offer a lot of opportunities to showcase the strengths of these armors. With Armor Balance Overhaul, players can finally be more flexible with their defensive choices, which can be important for those who want to be more immersive in the game.

The mod boosts the defensive rating of all the existing armor in the game. That way, gambesons and other lighter armor are more viable as protective options, which is crucial when players need something cheaper and lighter for travel. Likewise, plate becomes much stronger, making it a more worthwhile investment despite its setbacks.

22 Combat Gameplay Overhaul

Changes Perfect Blocks And Master Strikes

Combat Gameplay Overhaul

Players who think Kingdom Come: Deliverance is already difficult should consider applying the Combat Gameplay Overhaul, which switches things up to make the game feel like a completely different title. This will force AI and even players to stay away from the game’s rather methodical block-riposte dynamic. Instead, it encourages them to change zones more often and even become more aggressive.

Not only that, but dodging is also more realistic, this time disallowing players to dodge as far as ten feet to avoid having to block. And speaking of blocking, players now need to match the direction of the attack to score perfect blocks, making fights more meaningful and challenging.

21 No Mo’ Slow

Allows You To Either Remove The Perfect Block's Slow-Motion Or Adjust Its Length

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance gameplay, players have the opportunity to execute Perfect Blocks by way of slow-motion. If they block at the perfect moment, they can perform a Perfect Block and leave opponents ripe for the taking. However, tackling the timing of such a situation in high-intense combat can seem too difficult for some players. Making this timing more manageable can help players either challenge themselves further or make a smoother gameplay experience, which is exactly what No Mo' Slow accomplishes.

At its core, No Mo' Slow simply gives players a new console command they can use to manually control the Perfect Block's slow-motion instance. They can speed it up, slow it down, or remove it completely, allowing players to customize these parameters to fit their preferred experience.

20 Translucent Helmet Vision

Mod That Removes KCD's Helmet Vision

While it might be somewhat realistic to have Henry's vision be blocked every single time he wears a helmet in combat, there's no denying that this helmet vision can get annoying quickly in battle due to the limited field of vision that the player is restricted by. Thankfully, there's a solution that gamers can opt for that serves as the perfect middle ground.

There might be a mod to remove this helmet vision completely, but players who don't want to compromise on this sense of realism can choose to opt for the Translucent Helmet Vision instead, which ends up being the perfect way to enjoy the combat of the game without sacrificing the realistic side of things.

19 Easier Enemies

Well... This Is A Mod That Makes KCD Easier

A battle in Kingdom Come Deliverance

The combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance can be a pain to get through in the early stages. Enemies block attacks all the time and punish Henry for overcommitting to a strike. Even after getting basic combat training, it takes a few levels and powerful equipment before players can hold their own in a one-versus-many scenario. The duels in this game can be quite cinematic and engaging, but the combat system falls apart when players have to fight groups, which can add to the frustration of the battles in this game.

This is why a lot of players would prefer to download a Kingdom Come: Deliverance mod that reduces the difficulty of these encounters. The Easier Enemies mod is an obvious recommendation here, letting players reduce the difficulty of these foes and taking away their ability to use master strikes. It may seem like a cheat, but those who are struggling to get into this experience and don't want their hard-earned progress to be wiped out because of a single mistake will love the changes this mod brings to the table.

18 Immersive Archery

One-Shot Kill Enemies With A Bow

Archery was pretty much a medieval cheat code that people whipped out at a moment's notice to get the edge in battle, and Henry should've been able to take out most of his enemies with a single well-placed arrow. While it's true that he may not have had the archery skills that most veterans boasted, there's no excusing the slow draw and flight speed of the arrows in the game.

Immersive Archery aims to rectify this form of combat to make it easier to bear for players. Henry draws the bowstring faster, arrows fly at a swifter pace, stamina drain is reduced, and the damage of arrows is also considerably increased. Instead of being a chore, archery becomes fun with the inclusion of this mod.

17 Polearms Unleashed

Overhaul KCD's Polearms To Add Things Like Perfect Block

Polearms Unleashed mod for Kingdom Come Deliverance

There are so many weapons in Kingdom Come: Deliverance that players don't have to restrict themselves to using only swords and shields; the wealth of two-handed weapons adds some variety to the game. However, these weapons aren't as fleshed out as Henry's one-handed armaments, with the polearm being a great example of a weapon whose full potential isn't reached in the vanilla game.

With this mod, a polearm becomes a blast to use against enemies who have no response for the parries, feints, jabs, and strikes that Henry can whip out once he's adept at using this weapon. The move set is a glorious way to celebrate the legacy of the polearm, which is easily one of the most underrated weapons used in medieval times.

Getting encumbered is the bane of any RPG player's existence, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance is no exception here. The title is already challenging enough without players having to engage with clunky inventory management where they're forced to drop valuable items so that Henry isn't moving at a snail's pace.

With a single Kingdom Come: Deliverance mod, this issue becomes a thing of the past. Players can carry whatever they want without fear of being encumbered, allowing them to hold on to as many items as possible before offloading them for a tidy sum and turning the humble son of a blacksmith into one of the richest men in the game.

15 Easy To See Herbs

Mod That Makes It Far Easier To Spot Herbs

Alchemy plays a big role in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Even if players don't brew too many potions, picking herbs is important to finish quests or sell for a quick buck if players require some gold.

So, it's odd that the herbs in the game are so devilishly hard to find that players can genuinely blow a gasket trying to find these plants in the overworld. Thankfully, this mod takes care of the issue by making the game's herbs easy to locate visually, which goes a long way in ensuring that players don't interact with random bits of foliage every single time they think they've spotted some herbs.
