How To Put Your Visor Down in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Discover how to put your visor down in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 with our easy guide.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 enhances the immersive experience by allowing players to control Henry's visor. While it's always raised during dialogue, giving us a better view of Tom McKay's performance, you have full control over it during gameplay and combat. Here's how to manage your visor, whether you're using a controller or keyboard and mouse.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: How To Put Your Visor Down

Raising or lowering your visor is a simple process, but it's important to remember that it can only be done during gameplay. You cannot adjust it while in dialogue or the inventory menu. Also, Henry must be wearing a coif before equipping a helmet.

Controller: Hold down on the D-Pad. Holding Up raises or lowers the visor. Be careful not to simply press Up, as this will bring up the map. Similarly, holding Down equips a torch.

Keyboard & Mouse: Press the "Z" key to toggle the visor up or down.

Inventory Menu: While you can't change the visor position in the Inventory menu, if Henry has it lowered, it will appear lowered in the menu as well.

Should You Lower Your Visor in Combat?

Lowering your visor offers increased facial protection, which is especially valuable against piercing weapons like longswords. The trade-off is slightly reduced peripheral vision.

• One-on-One Duels: In single combat, the added protection from a lowered visor generally outweighs the minor vision impairment.
• Multiple Enemies: When facing multiple opponents, some players prefer to raise their visor for better situational awareness. The decision ultimately comes down to personal preference and playstyle.

PC Modding for Enhanced Vision

PC players who want the protection of a lowered visor without sacrificing vision can utilize mods. While official modding support is planned for KCD2, it's unclear how these mods will function in the future. Currently, mods are available that address this issue.
