GTA Online: How To Increase Strength

Level Up Your GTA Online Strength: Ten Proven Methods

While cruising and causing mayhem are core to GTA Online, leveling up your character's stats significantly enhances gameplay. Strength, in particular, boosts melee combat, resilience, and even activities like climbing and golf. However, increasing Strength can be challenging. Here are ten effective methods:

1. Good Old Fashioned Punching:

Fighting Barehanded Raises Strength

Landing 20 punches on any NPC or player increases Strength by 1%. Team up with a friend for efficient mutual leveling.

2. Fail the Bar Resupply:

It’s All About the Failed Delivery

The Criminal Enterprises DLC's Bar Resupply mission offers a repeatable method. Focus on intimidation missions; repeatedly punching the NPC until the timer runs out yields Strength gains without mission completion.

3. Get a Helping Hand:

Cheat One’s Way to Strength Gains

Have a friend enter a car. Repeatedly punching the car for about 10 minutes registers as hitting the occupant, granting Strength boosts. Take turns for maximum efficiency.

4. Spam a Titan of a Job:

No Need to Steal a Plane

The "Titan of a Job" mission (Rank 24+) allows pre-airport punching. Head to a high-pedestrian area before reaching the airport to maximize Strength gains without triggering a wanted level.

5. Abuse Pier Pressure:

Fight Everyone at the Beach

In Gerald's "Pier Pressure" mission, avoid the main objective. Instead, head to Del Perro Beach and punch NPCs freely without incurring a wanted level.

6. Stall Death Metal:

Another Way to Abuse No-Wanted Level Missions

Similar to "Pier Pressure," Gerald's "Death Metal" mission allows for pre-objective Strength training. Punch NPCs near the mission area to boost your Strength.

7. Join a Fists-Only Deathmatch:

For Fun, For Co-Leveling

Seek out or create a fists-only Deathmatch. This provides a fun and efficient way to increase Strength while competing against other players.

8. Create a Survival Mission:

Test a Game to Oblivion

Using the Content Creator, design a low-difficulty Survival mission with unarmed enemies. Testing the mission, even as a trial run, grants significant Strength gains.

9. Close the Metro for a Fistfight:

Brute-Force NPCs into a Chokehold

Block a metro station entrance/exit with a vehicle. The trapped NPCs provide a concentrated target for efficient Strength building.

10. Get Golfing:

A Casual Sport That Improves Strength

Surprisingly, golf improves Strength! Longer drives correlate with higher Strength stats. Play solo or with friends to enjoy this unique method.
