📋 About This Mod

Better Stamina (Instant Regen + Reduced Attack Cost)

This mod adds a new perk for the player under the Main level, called Better Stamina that boosts the stamina to make combat easier.

You will automatically gain this perk point when you start a new game. If you've already progressed into the campaign you can spend a perk point to acquire it or use the console command to add it (if you have the Cheat mod, simply use: cheat_add_perk id:a78cfb9c-78b6-4bf0-801b-9d049585d7c1)

In an attempt to make the game feel a little easier I tried the other Easier Combat mod on the forum, but it was altering the values for NPC's as well, making fights last for minutes. With this mod, the values are altered only for the player character.

Here's what the perk does, in detail:

  • []50% reduced stamina cost for weapon attacks[/]

    []8x faster stamina regeneration[/]

    []Instant recovery (0. 3s cooldown before the stamina regen begins)[/]

    If you want to edit these values, simply rename the .pak file into .rar, go into the file "buff__BetterStamina.xml" and edit the values under "params" (line 26). I did leave comments at the bottom of the file explaining what each of the params do, so edit them to your liking.

    Installation:

    1. Go to the Mods folder of your game (e.g: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance\Mods)

    2. Unzip the archive into the mods folder (if you don't see the Mods folder create one yourself) - in the end it should look like: ... KingdomComeDeliverance\Mods\betterstamina

    Add a new line into mod_order.txt with the text: betterstamina

    Or use a mod manager and drag the zip file into the interface.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This Kingdom Come: Deliverance mod adds a player-only 'Better Stamina' perk that cuts weapon attack stamina cost by 50%, boosts regen 8x, and starts recovery after 0.3 seconds. It's for players seeking easier combat without affecting NPCs, with easy install and editable values.

✨ Key Features

Adds a 'Better Stamina' perk under the Main level, automatically granted on new games.
Reduces weapon attack stamina cost by 50% for the player only.
Increases stamina regeneration speed by 8x.
Adds a 0.3s cooldown before stamina regen begins (instant recovery).
Includes an editable XML file (buff__BetterStamina.xml) for tweaking values.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 117 endorsements and 7,750 downloads — solid track record.
  • Only affects Henry, so fights stay snappy without turning NPCs into damage sponges.
  • Easy to customize: rename .pak to .rar and edit the XML values to your liking.

⚠️ Cons

  • Not for anyone wanting a vanilla or harder combat experience — this is a straight buff.
  • Manual installers need to edit mod_order.txt, which is an extra step beyond dragging files.
  • No compatibility notes with other gameplay mods, so test with mods that also alter stamina or perks.
🎯 Is This For You?
For KCD players who get frustrated with stamina management and want a more forgiving combat pace. Also for those who liked the idea of Easier Combat but hated NPCs turning into tanks. Skip if you want the vanilla challenge or prefer enemies to share the same stamina rules.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute with a mod manager; 2-3 minutes manual (unzip + edit mod_order.txt)

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're mid-campaign, spend a perk point on Better Stamina under Main level or use console: cheat_add_perk id:a78cfb9c-78b6-4bf0-801b-9d049585d7c1 (requires Cheat mod).
  • After manual install, make sure to add 'betterstamina' as a new line in mod_order.txt in your KCD Mods folder, or it won't load.
  • To tweak values, rename the .pak to .rar, open buff__BetterStamina.xml, and edit the params at line 26 — comments explain each.
