Stats in GTA Online can be individually increased to create a customized character with various abilities that let you make your mark in Los Santos.

Many activities in GTA Online let your character grow when you choose to increase certain stat attributes that can make you stronger within the chaos of Los Santos. Similar to RPG games, you have the opportunity to mold your character with straightforward systems similar to past Grand Theft Auto titles. Those looking to improve their simple builds must pursue different events found within the city.

Your character has seven stats that you can level up in GTA Online: Driving, Flying, Lung Capacity, Shooting, Stamina, Stealth, and Strength. Simply playing the game will improve some of these scores naturally, but not all of them. If you want to buy the fastest vehicles, take advantage of the best weapons, or outlast your enemies, you'll need to find out the right activities to increase each stat.

GTA Online can be a daunting place for new players when stepping into Los Santos, but it can be made much easier by buying the right things early.

How To Level Up Stats in GTA Online

The best way to level up your stats in GTA Online is to repeat the same tasks tied to improving each individual score over and over. Even if the changes seem small at first, there's no doubt that every boost to a stat will eventually cause it to reach the next stage of progression. The tasks tied to increasing every stat in the game are:

Stat	How To Increase
Driving	Drive into oncoming traffic, off various ramps, or practice tricks like wheelies.
Flying	Complete Flying School Missions, or simply fly around the city and under bridges.
Lung Capacity	Practice yoga and stay underwater without scuba gear for a short time before you have to go up for air.
Shooting	Practice at the shooting range and aim for headshots when fighting enemies.
Stamina	Riding a bicycle is the fastest way to increase your stamina.
Stealth	Hide as often as possible during different missions.
Strength	Participate in fights, and engage in different sports like tennis or golf.

Missions are some of the best places to directly tackle tasks paired to different scores in GTA Online. For example, Stealth can be hard to improve in the main city, but any mission given by Gerald is the perfect place to practice your ability to stay hidden.

Taking the time to improve every stat will take a while, but making sure to repeat the tasks listed will make the process much easier. Other players will have a hard time contending with your build once you have made the effort to max out each score.
