Save to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — automatic or manual saving of progress, which you can return to if you want to replay important moments. The developers of the medieval RPG deliberately limited the function of creating saves to a certain range of actions and the consumable item Saving Schnapps to ensure full immersion.
The long plot, harsh punishment system and variety of forks will repeatedly force you to turn to saves, so you should take care of creating them in advance in one way or another. In the guide, we will tell you how to save in KCD 2 without spending Schnapps and where the saves are stored.
How to save in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Auto save occurs in the following cases:
- At the start of a new mission or upon reaching a certain level of progress within the main story campaign.
- After swimming, sleeping or visiting camp.
For manual saving you will need to get hold of the protagonist's favorite alcoholic drink by any means possible - The Life-Saving Schnapps. It can be found, bought or created through the alchemy system. One unit of the item is needed per save, and it can be created and stored in unlimited quantities.
Saves without Schnapps
You can either completely disable the spending of Schnapps or give it to your inventory as needed. To do this, you need to enable the command console and use combinations of cheat codes. If you are using the Steam version of the game, use the following method:
- Go to the game page in the client and open its properties. In the new window, enter -devmode in the empty "Launch parameters" field, close the window and launch the game.
- Call up the console directly in the game by pressing the key "~/Ё".
- Enter the command wh_sys_NoSavePotion = 1, if you want to disable the spending of Schnapps, and confirm the input by pressing "enter". The combination wh_cheat_addItem 928463d9-e21a-4f7c-b5d3-8378ed375cd1, in turn, you can add one unit of the item to your inventory.
You can find it in a separate manual list of other useful commands and cheat codes for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
