How to Improve All Your Stats in GTA Online

GTA Online is going through a key stage as the launch of GTA VI approaches. Even so, the online mode of Grand Theft Auto V continues to receive weekly events, rewards, and updates that keep its community active.

As in any RPG, having high stats allows your character to be more resilient, have better weapon control, move more efficiently, and perform better in missions, activities, and encounters with other players.

Health

Health defines how much damage your character can take before dying. It is a key stat for surviving missions, events, and encounters.

In GTA Online, health cannot be improved directly, as it depends on your character’s level:

• Level 1 to 19: 238 health points
• Level 20 to 39: 256 health points
• Level 40 to 59: 274 health points
• Level 60 to 79: 292 health points
• Level 80 to 99: 310 health points
• Level 100 or higher: 328 health points (maximum)

The only way to increase health is by leveling up, taking part in missions, events, and activities that grant RP.

Stamina

Stamina indicates how long your character can sprint before getting tired. It also affects prolonged physical activities.

To improve it, you need to walk and run frequently:

• Move on foot instead of using vehicles
• Sprint constantly around the map
• Avoid excessive use of cars or bikes

Over time, stamina will increase gradually.

Shooting

The shooting stat measures your character’s skill with firearms. It affects both accuracy and the maximum amount of ammunition you can carry.

When fully upgraded, your character can carry up to 9,999 bullets per weapon, compared to the initial limit of 500.

Ways to improve shooting:

• Use firearms against enemies and police
• Take part in shootouts during missions
• Complete challenges at the Ammu-Nation shooting range

Strength

Strength is one of the most relevant stats in the game. It affects:

• Resistance to incoming damage
• Melee combat damage
• Speed when climbing or using ladders

To increase it, it is recommended to:

• Use melee attacks in combat
• Punch NPCs instead of always using guns
• Practice fights in areas with a high density of characters, such as the pier

Stealth

Stealth determines how easy it is to avoid being detected by enemies and complete actions without raising alerts.

To increase this stat:

• Activate stealth mode (press L3) and move around for long periods
• Walk while crouched on a regular basis
• Approach missions using discreet routes and silent takedowns

Although it is a slow process, it improves steadily with use.

Flying

Flying measures your character’s ability to pilot planes, helicopters, and other aircraft. A high stat allows better maneuvering, more precise landings, and the ability to perform stunts.

Ways to improve flying:

• Complete tests at the LSIA Flight School
• Earn gold medals, which grant between 3% and 5% progress
• Fly aircraft for more than 10 minutes straight
• Fly under bridges

Driving

Driving affects the handling of cars, bikes, and ground vehicles. A high level allows better stability and improved maneuvers.

The only way to improve it is to drive properly:

• Drive at high speed without crashing
• Avoid pedestrians, signs, buildings, and other vehicles
• Maintain clean driving routes for as long as possible

Lung Capacity

This stat determines how long your character can stay underwater without losing health. It is not essential, but it is useful in certain missions.

To improve it:

• Dive in any aquatic area
• Stay underwater for as long as possible
• Complete underwater challenges, which add 5 extra seconds per completion

At maximum level, your character can hold their breath for 35 seconds.

Mental State

Mental state indicates how dangerous your character is to other players. It does not provide direct gameplay advantages.

To increase it:

• Kill other players frequently
• Commit crimes consistently
• Cause explosions and chaos across the map

When reaching the Psychopath level, your character appears with a special red icon visible to other players.

Improving all stats in GTA Online takes time and consistency, but it allows you to make better use of every activity in the game and face any challenge with a more complete character.
