In the First Room

Tuff ‘Nuff is in no First Room of the site. The books of the four Infinite Warfare maps of the Hub name a single Candy Perk machine within reach doors closed, Up ‘N Atoms, on each of them. The book of Rave in the Redwoods only names it to say that the Slasher can down a player in one hit, even with Tuff ‘Nuff. The records of those maps are on the ZFRR leaderboards.

Effect, game by game

Tuff ‘Nuff only exists in Infinite Warfare, so there is a single version of it.

The machine

A tall red vending machine with the candy in sight behind its window. The medical cross on top carries the name of the perk in large white letters, and the coin slot is on the right side.

The box

Empty boxes lie around the machine. They read “More Health” and are covered in small white crosses.

Eating it

Like every Candy Perk, it is eaten from its box rather than drunk from a bottle.

Where to find it

The wiki lists a Tuff ‘Nuff machine on all five maps of Infinite Warfare Zombies: Zombies in Spaceland, Rave in the Redwoods, Shaolin Shuffle, Attack of the Radioactive Thing and The Beast From Beyond. Where the machine stands on each map is told in the book of that map.

Juggernog

The health perk of the Treyarch games, which the wiki names as the perk Tuff ‘Nuff is similar to.

Up ‘N Atoms

The revive Candy Perk, the only one of the family found in the First Rooms of the site.

Bombstoppers

The other defensive candy of the family, against explosions.

Trivia

The name

A shorthand of “Tough enough?”. The prompt shown when a player walks up to the machine spells it “Tuff Nuff”, without the apostrophe.

The candy

According to the wiki, the art on the box makes it look like Maltesers.

The machine

The slots of the machine show two prices for the same candy, $3.50 and $4.50. A box weighs 6 ounces, or 170 grams.

The barcode

The barcode on the back of the box reads 8161715131019; the wiki notes that taking out every 1 leaves 867-5309, the number of a Tommy Tutone song of the 1980s, and that the same barcode is printed on the other Candy Perk boxes.

The small print

The nutrition label on the back is a joke of the developers, who ask how the player came close enough to read the texture without being eaten by zombies.
