• Swords: Shortswords, Longswords, Hunting Swords
  Versatile melee weapons balanced for slashing and stabbing. The core of the game's complex melee combat system.
• Axes & Maces: Battle Axes, War Hammers
  Blunt and heavy weapons that are highly effective against heavily armored opponents, capable of crushing plate armor where swords might fail.
• Polearms: Spears, Halberds
  Long-reaching weapons ideal for keeping enemies at a distance and for combat against cavalry. Cannot be stored in inventory.
• Bows: Hunting Bows, Longbows
  Ranged weapons requiring skill to aim due to the lack of a crosshair. Used for hunting and stealthy combat.
• Crossbows: New Weapon Type
  A new addition to the sequel. Crossbows are easier to aim than bows and offer powerful bolts but have a slower reload time. They can be fired from horseback.
• Early Firearms: New Weapon Type
  Another new addition. Early, primitive hand cannons provide a loud and powerful but highly inaccurate ranged option, reflecting the dawn of gunpowder warfare.

• Standard Firearms: Various (Pistols, Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, LMGs)
  Conventional weapons found and used by both FND and guerrilla forces. Extensive customization with mods, scopes, and ammo types (Soft-Target, Armor-Piercing, etc.).
• Resolver Weapons: Unique/Gadget
  Improvised weapons with powerful, often unique functions. Examples: Tostador (Flamethrower), Zeusito (EMP), Discos Locos (CD Launcher). Crafted at workbenches using Uranium.
• Supremo Backpacks: Gadget/Ability (Ultimate)
  Backpacks granting powerful, tactical ultimate abilities on a cooldown. Examples: Exterminador (Homing Rockets), Volta (EMP Shockwave), Triador (See through walls and allow La Varita to shoot through). Each has custom gadget slots and mods.
• Bows: Ranged (Stealth)
  Silent ranged weapons ideal for stealthy takedowns. Different arrow types (standard, explosive) can be crafted and used.
• Melee Weapons: Melee
  Used for close-quarters combat and stealth takedowns. Often tied to gear perks.

• Layered Armor System: Features a deep, 16-slot armor system where players can layer different types of protection. A typical setup might include a gambeson (padded cloth), followed by a mail hauberk, and finally a plate cuirass, each providing defense against different damage types.
• Light Armor: Includes leather jerkins, padded gambesons, and other lighter gear. Offers less protection but is quieter, making it ideal for stealth.
• Heavy Armor: Consists of mail chausses, plate armor (cuirasses, pauldrons, helmets). Provides maximum protection against most attacks but is heavy, noisy, and can be visually intimidating to NPCs.

• Civilian and Noble Attire: A wide variety of non-armor clothing, from peasant rags to ornate noble doublets. What Henry wears significantly impacts his charisma and how different social classes of NPCs react to him.
• Reputation-Based Clothing: Wearing the tabard of a specific town or lord can grant benefits within that region but may cause hostility in rival territories. Armor and clothing get dirty and bloody, affecting appearance and reputation until cleaned.

• Gear Outfits: Modular system where players equip headwear, upper body, lower body, foot, and wrist gear pieces. Appearance of each piece is distinct and contributes to the overall look. Full gear sets offer themed appearances.
• Cosmetic Outfits: Full body outfits that change Dani's appearance completely. Do not affect gear stats or perks. Acquired through editions, progression, or store.

The game retains the classless 'you are what you do' progression system. Skills like Swords, Archery, Alchemy, and Reading improve with use. The sequel deepens this with an expanded perk system. Dialogue skills have been expanded from three to six attributes (Oratory, Charisma, Intimidation, Appearance, Coercion, Dominate). New weapon skills for Crossbows and Firearms have been added. The crime and reputation system is more dynamic and has lasting consequences.

Ability progression is tied to collected Gear pieces and weapon modifications rather than traditional skill trees tied to player XP. Players increase their rank by earning XP, which unlocks access to better gear and weapons from vendors. Resolver weapons and Supremo backpacks provide unique, powerful active abilities and are crafted/upgraded at workbenches using gathered resources like Depleted Uranium.

The game world is approximately twice the size of its predecessor and is composed of two large, distinct maps. The first is the Bohemian Paradise, a scenic area known for its forests and the iconic Trosky Castle. The second, and larger, map is centered around the massive, realistically recreated medieval city of Kuttenberg (Kutná Hora), one of the richest cities in Europe at the time due to its silver mines.

Yara is the largest Far Cry setting to date, a vast open world featuring diverse environments: jungles, beaches, rural areas, and the urban capital city of Esperanza. The world is divided into main regions, each controlled by a member of Castillo's regime and containing various activities like FND bases (outposts), checkpoints, and treasure hunts.

• OFFICIAL AND EXTRAPOLATED SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This information is based on the official PC specifications from the game's Steam store page and other official sources, adapted to the requested JSON structure. As a visually detailed open-world game using an updated CryEngine, the requirements are significant, especially for higher settings. Laptop and future-generation GPU listings are extrapolated based on performance benchmarks.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop versions of the listed desktop GPUs require comparable performance, which is highly dependent on the laptop's TGP (Total Graphics Power) and thermal design. For a demanding open-world game like KCD2, a laptop with a high-TGP GPU and excellent cooling will be crucial to avoid performance drops in dense areas like cities.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: A high TGP is essential. A low-power variant of a recommended GPU may struggle to maintain stable framerates, especially in graphically intensive scenarios like large-scale battles.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The CryEngine can heavily tax both the CPU and GPU. A robust cooling system is necessary to prevent thermal throttling during long gameplay sessions and maintain smooth performance in CPU-heavy towns.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: The game simulates many complex systems and NPCs, making a strong CPU with good power delivery important for a stable experience, particularly for maintaining minimum frame rates.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: A MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus is highly recommended to minimize latency and ensure the GPU's full performance is utilized, which is important for the game's first-person combat.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: The game officially supports NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR at launch. Given the demanding nature of the game, using these technologies is highly recommended to achieve stable framerates, especially at resolutions above 1080p.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Settings related to shadows, object detail, physics, and vegetation will likely have the most significant impact on performance. The game's complex NPC and environmental simulation will also be demanding on the CPU in populated areas.
• Game Name: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

• Official system requirements from Ubisoft. Performance can vary depending on specific hardware, settings, and background applications. An SSD is strongly recommended for optimal performance, especially with the HD Texture Pack, which requires 12GB of VRAM. For 4K configurations, 16GB of VRAM is recommended.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop models of listed desktop GPUs may work if their performance is comparable. Performance on laptops is also heavily influenced by cooling and the GPU's TGP. The estimated laptop specs below are approximate and reflect performance tiers. Modern laptop GPUs (RTX 30/40 Series and beyond) will comfortably exceed the original recommended desktop specs.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Higher TGP in a laptop GPU generally correlates with better sustained performance.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Good cooling is essential to prevent thermal throttling during demanding gameplay.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Laptops with higher CPU power limits can maintain boost clocks longer.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or ensuring the dedicated GPU is active is recommended for better framerates.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR).
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, Volumetric Clouds, and Environmental Detail, as well as Ray Tracing, heavily impact performance.
