When it comes to quests, it looks like Bethesda forgot to polish them before releasing Starfield. Why are we saying that? Well, there have been reports of many quests being bugged in the game. Now, it seems like the bugs are not limited to quests but to other minor skill challenges too. So, when players try to complete the Fitness Skill challenges in Starfield, they are met with a bug that makes it seem impossible to complete them. But is this a bug? or a misunderstood mechanic? And if it is a bug, is a fix available for this issue yet? Let’s find out.
The Fitness skill in Starfield is a beginner-level physical skill that’s supposed to raise your oxygen intake as you progress. And, the oxygen mechanic in the game is essentially the stamina mechanic in any other RPG title. Anyway, players have encountered a frustrating bug where this fitness challenge isn’t working or progressing as intended. Specifically, there’s a challenge called “Use all available oxygen 20 times”, and it appears that no matter how many times players reach the O2 limit, the challenge remains stuck at zero progress. So, this is indeed a very frustrating issue, so we have shared some workarounds for you to try.
Starfield Fitness Skill Challenge Not Working Bug: Is there any fix yet
The Fitness Skill Challenge not working issue in Starfield might appear perplexing at first, but fear not; it’s not a bug; it’s a deliberate challenge thoughtfully woven into the game’s fabric to test your skills. But what happened is that a majority of players could not fully understand this challenge, which made them think that this was a bug. So, to conquer this challenge, you’ll need some strategy and adaptability. Here, we’ve gathered insights from seasoned players who’ve ventured into the cosmos before you. So, lace up those space boots, and let’s get started.
Deplete O2 and Fill CO2 Completely
To make progress in the challenge, you need to ensure that you not only use up all your available oxygen but also fill your CO2 bar completely, often until you receive a warning that continuing will cause health damage. After the warning sign, let your CO2 or O2 levels fully recover and start sprinting to deplete them again.
Run on Your Ship in Space
Some players have found success by running around their ships while in space. This might involve sprinting in your ship’s hallway until your CO2 bar is full, then resting for an hour in your ship’s bed, and repeating the process. This method might fix the issue. You can also do this while encumbered to deplete your O2 levels faster.
Remove Character Traits
It’s possible that certain character traits, such as the “Spaced” trait, might be causing this issue. If you’re experiencing this bug and have the Spaced trait equipped, consider removing it and then attempting the challenge again on a different planet or on your ship.
And those are some tips/workarounds that might help you complete the Fitness Challenge in Starfield. We hope this guide was informative.
