This guide will provide some general tips that can help boost a player's RP and set them on the path to becoming a true crime boss in GTA Online. 

Performing Daily Objectives in Grand Theft Auto Online

One of the best tasks to perform to gain both fiscal gains alongside high amounts of RP, the Daily Objectives provided are essential to leveling up. The rewards for the Daily Objectives may seem disappointing at first, but through some dissection, the rewards are certainly worth the time invested.

The initial payouts for completing a daily objective are fine at best, they provide a reasonable amount of both money and RP as you complete them, but nothing to write home about. The beauty of the daily objectives is rooted in their consistent rewards paired with the bonus provided for completing a week's worth of daily objectives continually.

For a player who completes their daily objectives 7 days in a row, they will be rewarded with each day worth of RP on top of a 20,000 point bonus for completing a week's worth of tasks. The bonus continues to add on as you complete more and more daily objectives and if a month's work of tasks is completed the pay off is certainly huge.

The daily objectives are not only a consistent amount of RP it also provides a massive incentive for diligence. So be sure to complete your daily objectives and receive your well-earned payoff.

Playing Through Survival Missions in Grand Theft Auto Online

One of the best missions to utilize in order to farm RP is the combat-heavy survival missions. These missions although low in their monetary reward will provide players with a large sum of RP to boost their status within the crime driven ecosystem of GTA Online.

The efficiency behind the survival missions lies in the use of the free aim option for shooting. If a player switches from auto-aim to free aim each enemy killed within survival provides 13 RP. Although the lack of auto-aim makes the trials more difficult, the vast amount of enemies faced will make up for the difficulty. Being able to earn 1,300 RP for killing only 100 enemies is a high incentive for undergoing the combat-heavy missions.

This mode also serves as an excellent way to pick up ammo and weapons to add to your arsenal. However, if you are looking to gain money through this method you are unfortunately out of luck. This method should be exclusive to RP farming due to its terrible payout. So practice your aim and wipe out some goons and watch your levels rise and rise.

Playing in Double RP Events in Grand Theft Auto Online

As the name implies these events are exclusively designed to help players boost their levels and increase their sum of RP in GTA Online. Rockstar provides a variety of game types to make the grind for RP less monotonous and to provide an entertaining way to level up their particular character.

From races, to combat trials, the Double RP Events and missions provide a variety of game types to entice players to participate. The variety of game modes makes the task of farming RP less of a chore and more of a fun event. However, this method is directly tied to the skill of a player in that particular game type. Unfortunately, the only way to see massive rewards through this medium is to find success in the competitive mode provided. This can make this method one of the less rewarding ways to farm RP in GTA Online. 

Thankfully simply participating in these events rewards players with a nice amount of RP. However, the best way to achieve the massive payouts in these events is to win or place extremely high in the event. This will most certainly make the time spent grinding the event worth it. So be sure to practice the given mission type provided and use your new skills to win a massive payout in return for your troubles.

Similar to money, RP makes the world of GTA Online go round. It is the second main pillar that allows crime hungry players to make use of the varying items in the game and thoroughly enjoy this experience.  Whichever method you choose to grind RP it is crucial that players find joy in the act.

So pick a method that you may find the most enjoyable, so the act is less of a grind and more of a fun-filled experience. The ever-coveted end game rewards for a high level will certainly make the farming worth it in the end. So use these tips to develop into an infamous crime boss withing GTA Online.
