Summary
- Tiny details like oxidizing bronze armor in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 enhance immersion.
- Cleaning and repairing armor will remove oxidization, maintaining a fresh appearance in-game.
An eagle-eyed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 player online has noticed an incredibly realistic armor detail while playing through the popular RPG. The impressive Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 detail is a great display of the level of effort developer Warhorse Studios put into the game.
The longevity of many large-scale games like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is often defined by the small details. In a title where everything is surface-level, gamers might play through it once, enjoy it, and move on. However, games that feature tons of small details often create a more convincing fictional world, which entices players into repeat playthrough. If gamers are still finding new details every time they launch a game, it’s an extra reason to keep playing. This has been seen before with other critically acclaimed titles like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, and it appears that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might be a new addition to this list.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Proves Why Reputation Should Be the New Morality
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s reputation system is so steeped in nuance that it makes a strong case for replacing the traditional morality system.
Redditor El_Chedman noticed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 armor with bronze inlays can actually oxidize over time, which can be seen in the appearance of the armor. It’s such a subtle detail that most would never even realize it while playing the game, but it contributes to that feeling of a worn world around the player.
Bronze Armor Inlays Can Oxidize in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
The good news is that this isn’t a permanent change to the armor, either. Gamers in the thread pointed out that the appearance of the oxidization depends on two factors: cleanliness and armor durability. Armor pieces featuring this type of bronze inlay that have taken damage in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s combat will automatically start to oxidize visually, and the effect will look even worse if Henry hasn’t cleaned in a while. All players need to do is clean and repair their armor, and it should look brand-new again.
In the wake of its successful launch, the rest of 2025 is still going to be massive for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Warhorse Studios has recently confirmed that the Barber and Hardcore Mode updates will soon be on the way for free, while there are three paid DLCs also planned for the game. Details on these DLCs are sparse at the moment, but all three are confirmed to launch this year, so hopefully it won’t be long until the developer is ready to discuss them.
