Boost Your GTA Online Strength: Ten Effective Methods
While cruising and causing mayhem are core to the Grand Theft Auto Online experience, leveling up your character's stats significantly enhances gameplay. Strength, impacting melee combat, resilience, and even activities like climbing, is a particularly valuable stat to increase. However, raising Strength can be challenging. Here are ten methods to effectively boost your Strength:
1. Good Old Fashioned Punching:
Fighting Barehanded Raises Strength
Land 20 punches on any NPC or player to gain 1% Strength. 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 missions requiring intimidation; repeatedly punching the target 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 sit in a car while you repeatedly punch the vehicle. The game registers this as targeting the occupant, granting Strength gains. Take turns for mutual benefit.
4. Spam "A Titan of a Job":
No Need to Steal a Plane
This mission (Rank 24+) doesn't trigger a Wanted Level until reaching the airport. Use this to punch NPCs in high-density areas before proceeding to the mission objective.
5. Abuse "Pier Pressure":
Fight Everyone at the Beach
Similarly, "Pier Pressure" offers a safe zone (Del Perro Beach) near the mission start to repeatedly punch NPCs without incurring a Wanted Level.
6. Stall "Death Metal":
Another Way to Abuse No-Wanted Level Missions
This mission also avoids Wanted Levels until the final stage. Use the time before delivery to punch nearby NPCs.
7. Join a Fists-Only Deathmatch:
For Fun, For Co-Leveling
Create or join a Deathmatch with fists as the only weapon. This provides a fun and efficient way to gain Strength.
8. Create a Survival Mission:
Test a Game to Oblivion
Using the Content Creator, design a Survival mission with unarmed, low-difficulty enemies. Testing the mission will grant Strength gains.
9. Close the Metro for a Fistfight:
Brute-Force NPCs into a Chokehold
Block NPCs in a metro station using a vehicle. The confined space allows for efficient punching of repeatedly respawning NPCs.
10. Get Golfing:
A Casual Sport That Improves Strength
Surprisingly, golf improves Strength! Higher Strength translates to longer drives. Enjoy a casual round while boosting your stats.
These diverse methods offer a range of approaches to significantly increase your Strength in GTA Online. Experiment and find the strategies that best suit your playstyle.
