6. Free Gliding

Gliding is one of the coolest features in the game. Given its stamina requirement, gliding has been reduced to a temporary feature. The Free Gliding mod helps you to make sure that this stamina criterion is removed, letting you glide indefinitely.

This mod particularly helps in exploration, as you can glide throughout the map without any limit, and here's how you can install it. However, do remember to keep the JSON Mod Manager outside the game folder:

• Download the Mods
• Copy the content and paste it into the Mod Manager folder
• Open the Mod Manager and make sure that it detects the Crimson Desert game folder
• Activate the mods by double-clicking them from the inactive mods menu.
• Launch the game with the mods applied.

4. Fat Stacks

Fat Stacks is an extension of inventory-expanding mods. It adds a multiplier from 10x to 9999x to the stack sizes of inventory. A higher stack size helps in carrying a larger number of the same items in your inventory.
