Gwent Plus Plus, or Gwent: Enhanced Edition. The best mods for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – January 2017 Edition

Ever since Gwent: The Witcher Card Game has been announced, the innovative card minigame from The Wild Hunt hasn’t been as alluring as just after the game’s release. Despite that, there’s no shortage of modders who are still tweaking Gwent. Apart from Gwent Deluxe, a similar thing is achieved by Gwent Plus Plus. This is a project of an impressive scale: this mod doesn’t just revalue cards.

First of all, a handful of new figures have been added, for example Warrior Nekker, or more siege units for the Northern Realms deck. Then, some units received totally new abilities – Villentretenmerth comes right back as Borch Three Jackdows after being killed, and the specification of Kaedweni Siege Experts has been changed – instead of “morale boost” they now have a “tight bond” special ability. All in order to improve the balance of individual decs, which – as we all know – wasn’t perfect in the vanilla.

Installation guide

  1. Download “Gwent Plus Plus” and export the file to the “Mods” folder, in the game’s directory. (Alternatively, use the Nexus Mod Manager).

That’s about it – as far as the installation is concerned. Apart from that, we’d like to reiterate what the author says on the mod’s page: if you want to use the mod on an existing save (ideally, you should start a new game after installing the mod) you have two options: buy the cards from Yoana, in Crow’s Perch, or you quickly add the cards to your deck by typing “updategpp” in the console.
