GTA Online: How To Increase Strength

Boost Your GTA Online Strength: A Comprehensive Guide

While cruising and causing mayhem are staples of GTA Online, leveling up your character's stats significantly enhances gameplay. Strength, in particular, impacts melee combat, sports, and even climbing speed. However, increasing Strength can be challenging. This guide outlines several effective methods:

1. Good Old Fashioned Punching:

Fighting Barehanded Raises Strength

Land 20 punches to gain 1% Strength. This works on both AI pedestrians and other players. Team up with a friend for efficient co-leveling.

2. Fail the Bar Resupply:

Exploit Failed Deliveries

The Criminal Enterprises DLC's Bar Resupply mission offers an exploitable method. Repeatedly fail the intimidation portion by punching the NPC until the timer runs out. This nets Strength gains without completing the mission. Note: Mission parameters may require multiple attempts.

3. Get a Helping Hand:

Cooperative Strength Gain

Team up with a friend. One player sits in a car while the other repeatedly punches the vehicle. The game registers this as targeting the in-car player, granting Strength gains. Alternate roles for mutual benefit.

4. Spam "A Titan of a Job":

Punching Without the Plane

This mission (unlocked at Rank 24) allows for Strength farming. Instead of stealing the plane, head to a high-pedestrian area and punch NPCs repeatedly before triggering a wanted level.

5. Abuse "Pier Pressure":

Beach Brawl Bonanza

Similar to "A Titan of a Job," "Pier Pressure" (from Gerald) allows for pre-mission punching. Head to Del Perro Beach and unleash your fists on NPCs without incurring a wanted level.

6. Stall "Death Metal":

More No-Wanted-Level Mayhem

Another Gerald mission, "Death Metal," offers the same opportunity. Delay the mission objective and focus on punching NPCs in a no-wanted-level zone.

7. Join a Fists-Only Deathmatch:

Competitive Strength Building

Create or join a Deathmatch with fists as the only weapon. This offers a fun and efficient way to boost Strength while competing against others.

8. Create a Survival Mission:

Custom Strength Training

Use the Content Creator to design a Survival mission with low-difficulty, barehanded enemies. Testing the mission itself will increase your Strength.

9. Close the Metro for a Fistfight:

Metro NPC Massacre

Block a metro entrance/exit with a vehicle to trap NPCs. Repeatedly punch them as they respawn.

10. Get Golfing:

Unexpected Strength Gains

Surprisingly, golf improves Strength. Longer drives correlate with higher Strength levels.
