How to increase Strength in GTA Online is one of the most commonly asked questions in the community, and for good reason. The strength is an essential stat in Grand Theft Auto Online, but increasing it can be a chore for some players. They would usually get 1% Strength per 20 successful punches, which can be inconvenient when facing a foe with a gun.

Fortunately, there are ways to improve this stat and know how to increase strength in GTA Online without being in much danger.


What does Strength do in GTA Online?

A high Strength stat allows users to take less damage, making it one of the most important stats to train in this game. Not only that, but it boosts their melee damage output and enables them to climb ladders more quickly.

1) How to increase Strength in GTA Online solo: Playing golf

The first method is participating in golf to increase strength in GTA Online solo. A gamer's enjoyment of this sport will vary from person to person, but it's still an option to consider. There's no danger here, and it can act as a decent diversion to the usual mayhem seen in GTA Online.


2) How to increase strength in GTA Online: Starting a mission with no Wanted Level

The first method to increase Strength in GTA Online involves gamers starting a mission where it's impossible to gain a Wanted Level. There are several missions to choose from, so once they find one (like Gerald's Pier Pressure), they merely have to go to a location with a ton of NPCs and keep swinging at them.

Most NPCs will pose no threat. Ergo, it's easy for players to keep spamming the melee attack button and knocking out several NPCs in a single session. As long as the mission doesn't have a time limit, they should be fine.

Any mission that prevents users from getting a Wanted Level is valuable, as they won't have to deal with any cops. The beach is a popular location to start training, although a nearby hospital works well.
