As with most games, the Warhammer 40K: Darktide experience is quite fun but can easily be ruined by the presence of bugs. For example, theBroken Supply Lines bugcan get in players' way and stop them from completing a mission entirely. However, the Toughness bug can be much more devastating because it affects the player across all instances of gameplay. The question is, what exactly is the Toughness bug, and how does one fix it?

What is the Toughness bug in Warhammer 40k Darktide?

The Toughness bug is an issue that affects the Toughness bar of characters. The Toughness bar is a bar of blue health that appears next to a character’s health bar. Toughness functions like a shield bar does in other games, offering extra health with its own set of resistances and statistics separate from those that govern the health bar. Because of this, having plenty of Toughness makes a character that much harder to bring down and can make a major difference in battle.

The problem with the Toughness bug is that if a character has a Toughness stat greater than 100, the game can potentially bug out and ignore the Toughness bar, taking a character from a strong tank to a frail fighter. While the Veteran Career character typically is the only one with over 100 Toughness, certain Curios in the game can push a character’s Toughness over 100, meaning the bug can affect anyone.
