Leveling Shooting in GTA Online – Here’s how
Here’s how to level the stat: You can increase the Shooting stat by shooting at other players with your weapons. Headshots count, so you should aim well. You can also participate in shooting exercises at Ammu-Nations. A gold medal increases your skill by 3%, a silver medal increases your skill by 2%, and a bronze medal increases your skill by 1%.
Tip for leveling: Coordinate with another player who enters a barber shop. They should sit in the barber chair and look for suitable hairstyles in the menu. During this time, they are invulnerable. Then park a motorcycle in the door to the barber shop so that it remains open. Now stand in front of the door with a minigun or another rapidly firing weapon and shoot at the invulnerable player.
This way, the skill goes up quickly.
