In GTA Online, one of the character stats is strength. We will show you here what a high value in strength brings and how you can quickly increase it.
What is it about? Your characters in GTA Online have various stats that can be skilled. At the very beginning, you can distribute a few points. During your adventures in online mode, you will improve them even further. The most important stats are:
- Stamina
- Shooting
- Strength
- Flying
- Driving
- Stealth
- Lung Capacity
In this article, we want to clarify questions about strength that many new and also existing players have.
What is strength used for and what does it do?
This is what it’s good for: The more strength you have in GTA Online, the harder you hit and kick in close combat. Also, your damage taken is reduced with every point in strength.
- Your melee damage is increased
- You climb ladders faster
- Your athletic abilities are improved
- Damage taken is reduced – even with armor
You see that strength is an important stat to be successful in the online world of GTA 5. Taking less damage is useful if you want to make a lot of millions of dollars in the heists of GTA Online with friends.
It is advisable for every character to increase the strength value. But how do you do that?
Leveling strength in GTA Online
Here’s how to level the stat: The rule of thumb in GTA Online is that you gain 1% strength for every 20 hits. You can box your friends in online sessions or beat up NPCs.
For a while, it was possible to hit cars with your friends sitting in them. But that no longer increases strength now.
Tips for leveling: Those who own a biker business will eventually receive the tasks during a mission to box information out of an informant at a construction site. You can kick and punch him repeatedly while he is on the ground – he is immortal (via reddit).
Other players on reddit suggest starting the mission “Blow Up III” by Simeon. During the mission, you should then travel to the hospital and beat people up there. After a while, paramedics will show up who can take a few hits and will fight back. You can train your skill well on them.
Alternatively, you can engage in sports like golf or tennis. This will also increase your strength value.
Now you can pump up your character’s muscles and be better off in the next close combat.
But what good are all those muscles if money is tight? Many wonder whether you can sell properties like houses or garages in GTA Online to make money again.
