Hello All,
I wanted to know if anyone else has been dealing with this problem:
As a keen racer and NODO member, I spent all of my time racing and not fist fighting. This means that even though I'm level 200+ my strength stat is only around 15%. (all other stats are 100%)
I'm not sure how much of an effect this has when I'm doing heists but it feel to me that even with full heavy armour and health, I can go from full everything to dead in less than 2 seconds and taking just a couple of bullets.
I'd like to know 1. if anyone else has has this problem and 2. what is a good way to increase my strength stat ?
Any stories, advice, support is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
Rad.

My strength bar is full, yet I too can die within amsplit of a second if an NPC aims their burst well and it is on hard difficulty. If the strength stat bears any meaning there, which it should, since it the game says so, it is very slight.
Get yourself a tactical outfit with a bulletproof helmet and the heavy utility vest and use it whenever you can. That helps a ton.

thanks for the reply.
Yes, have have a heavy heist outfit and helmet but am still doing the earlier heists atm so can wear them (in prison etc).
If anyone has advice about the best gun choices that would be good too. Usually I use the bullpup, special carbine or heavy mg.
It's strange, I know I have good game sense and awareness but doing missions or heists I just seem to go down so much more easily than others. Maybe it's in my head

Though strength doesn't affect your health (afaik), you can maximize this stat in a Gerald mission. Don't go to the meeting point or whatever he sends you to, instead you go to the beach and start hitting the pedestrians on the promenade. You dont get cops, so you can grab some GTA$ and max out your strength at the same time.

On Rooftop Rumble I just went to the location, took everyone out, and then left picking up the package to my fellow players. I went somewhere to hit people until they were dead, or train underwater breathing. All those five minutes of training got me easy money from missions and stats too

Still increase but it's slower than before. Ended up playing fist fight DM, only take about 20 minutes for 1 player to max their strength from 10-15%. and yes still can see the difference between 10% to 100% strength when facing the NPC enemy. About the gun choices, use gun that you feel you can perform well. Just make sure when have to switch between riffle and shotgun when it comes to range situation.

I used a glitch where my a friend of mine, was standing in a fitting room trying out clothes, while I was beating him. The trick was that he didn't take any dmg, but my punches still counted towards my stats.

Strength stat doesn't affect how quickly you die, that's all just your max health which increases as you level up. The game might say your health is maxed out at around level 100, but it actually continues to slightly increase with level ups beyond that as well. As for weapons, special carbine has the higher accuracy and bullpup rifle has higher damage and fire rate. When enemies are further away, use the combat MG for much better range. If you do want to max out strength you could get a friend to sit inside a car and just keep punching the car and that should increase strength slowly.

Fill up on Snacks and Armor before hand and if u can get in cover don't pop your head out of it too long at a time, obvious I know but even short bursts will take damage if u have a lot of heat on you. Also the option to fire out of cover without aiming down the sights is a lot more useful than people think and U can use it to put enemies down and finish them off down the sights.
Grenades tend to distract the a.i for a second too so toss some out and then pick them off why there off guard.

Thanks for the feedback guys. My last question is how many hardcore racers like myself are currently suffering from having super low strength? and do you feel it's disabling when you play heists?

Also, when I've been doing the final for the prison break, i our team cant lose the cops in the velum and just fly around for hours so cant finish by parachuting down to the beach.
Anyone else have this problem? I've heard it a glitch related to bad connection?
