If you want to be the best criminal in GTA Online, you need to focus on improving your character’s strength. Most players overlook this important feature.
GTA Online offers several stats that you can level up, including Driving, Flying, Lung Capacity, Stamina, Strength, Shooting, and Stealth. Strength is particularly important because it allows you to deal more melee damage, reduce damage taken, and climb ladders faster. This stat is especially useful for heists and PvP combat.
If you want to boost your strength stat in GTA Online but don’t know how, I have the perfect guide for you.
Increasing your strength stat in GTA Online
There are many ways to increase your strength stat in GTA Online. The most well-known method is to engage in fights and throw punches at other players. Every 20 punches landed on someone will give you a one percent boost to your strength.
If you don’t want to punch players or NPCs, you can head to Grapeseed Cow Farm and punch the cows roaming in the fields. Grapeseed Farms is located in the agricultural community of Grapeseed, near the O’Neil Brothers’ ranch and Seaview Road/Joad Lane. Find a field with cows and start punching. Doing this for several minutes will increase your strength with no risk to you.
If you don’t want to harm livestock, you can play games of tennis or golf in Los Santos. Both sports gradually increase your strength and stamina the more you play. Plus, it’s a relatively enjoyable method, especially if you’re winning matches.

Lastly, there’s a “cheese method” to increase your strength, which involves punching vehicles. Invite a friend to your GTA Online session and ask them to get inside a vehicle or park it nearby. Then, start punching the vehicle repeatedly. This will count as punching another player and give you a one percent boost to your strength.
You should start seeing results in about five to 10 minutes, and you can keep using this method until you’re satisfied with your GTA strength.
