The side of 2 is just about to get a whole lot tougher, developer affirming plans to increase the difficulty level of all modes this weekend.

Apparently, all health will be cut by 65 percent, the same rate as 'Crushing' difficulty.

"This weekend we are instituting a Plunder Only playlist based on the overwhelming feedback and we're making one other (temporary) change as well," Naughty Dog tell their community.

"Rather than add two new playlists at once we are going to try an experiment. For this Experimental Weekend only, player health in ALL game types will be lowered to 65 percent of the current player health. This is exactly the same as the Crushing settings, only Boosters will still be allowed."

Will you be crushed?
