How to level up fast in GTA Online? 5 Best ways

Leveling up might not be everyone's focus in GTA Online but it's certainly an important part of your progress there. Your character gets access to a wider array of vehicles & weapons with each new rank, your charcter's skills keep getting more room to grow. It's a very useful thing and you shouldn't completely neglect it.

So now that it's clear why you need a high level, the biggest question remaining is how to level up fast in GTA Online? In this brief blog post we suggest taking a look at what sources of experience you should consider for effective leveling!

1. Double-Triple Experience Events

It shouldn't come as a surprise that double or triple RP events yield a great amount of RP. Usually an event like that lasts about a week and right after one ends another starts. So you'll likely never run out of extra-experience activities.

Such events are Rockstar's way to add variety to your GTA Online routine. Instead of doing the same things all the time, you're encouraged to participate in different kinds of activities at least for the sake of additional experience. It's definitely a good thing and it makes such events not only one of the best answers to the question of how to level up fast in GTA Online, but also a great way to make your playtime more diverse.

To learn which activities currently have an experience modifier, stay tuned to the Newswire which is a dedicated news section on the Rockstar Games website. Or just follow content creators and active community members on Youtube, Discord, and whatnot to stay in the know.

Heists are the crown jewel of GTA Online. They are the biggest and craziest activities that the game offers and they are always fun to play. While heists are usually mentioned in the context of the best cash-yielding modes, it's also true that it rewards you with a comparably handsome amount of experience.

Speaking of which heists to focus on to get the most RP, Cayo Perico is often singled out as the best in that regard. The reason for that is that under certain conditions completing it becomes very easy and fast which makes it a perfect activity for experience grinding. That certain condition has a name, too – Kosatka. Here's how you can complete the heist faster with it (by Barbie Plays GTA):

Yes, that's right, owning the legendary submarine Kosatka is the key to finishing this heist fast. You'll collect more RP than you can imagine within just a few hours. So it's not that time consuming, definitely not incredibly difficult, and it awards you with a great amount of RP. What's not to like?

The only problem with it is that it costs a mind-blowing $2.2 Million which is straight opposite of budget-friendly. But if you can't buy it yet, don't worry: there are plenty of other heists that don't require investment this big and still bring you a decent amount of RP.

While the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel can bring you a lot of experience after just one free spin (up to 15K), it's anything but reliable as an experience earning method. The very concept of the Lucky Wheel is winning random prizes and that means that you can't know where the needle is going to stop this time.

So while the experience gains are potentially high, you shouldn't expect it to be the primary source of it. Apart from RP, there are other rewards you can get there, including cars (1 podium vehicle per week), money, clothes, and Diamond Casino chips. It's always pleasant to win something valuable and the Wheel definitely should be played daily. All we're saying, is make sure to adjust your expectations of getting experience from it.

However, if you're willing to use glitches, you can try quitting the game right after you're shown what you've won and if it's not the reward you want. Then you just start the game again and spin the wheel once more. Repeat until you get what you've come for – note that it can take a while, however.

Most often that glitch is used by people who want to win the podium car of the week. But if you want to get all the reputation points you can so badly, you can try winning 25K experience every day with that glitch too. Note that if you play on a cosole, you need to perform the spin with a particular movement of your stick. See how here (video by Vitorini):

Adversary Modes are lots of fun. If you haven't ever played them, all you need to know is that it's a team vs team activity in which one of the teams is trying to beat the other. So one group of players are sort of attackers, the other are sort of defenders. Here's an example of it can look like (shown and narrated by Dr Crush):

Adversary activities take all kinds of shapes in Grand Theft Auto Online. They usually make a reference to an action movie sequence so if you're a fan of those, you're in for a treat. And of course completing them brings you lots of experience too. The only obstacle here is finding a team.

If you're not really a fan of teaming up with other players and prefer solo roaming, you won't benefit much from this game mode unless you're fine with playing with randoms. If you are, just get a pick-up group on some GTA Online-related Discord server or right in the game, and have fun!

While this isn't the first thing that springs to you mind when you're thinking of how to level up fast in GTA Online, these activities actually reward you with a decent amount of experience upon completion. It's actually hard to avoid them since they are basically bread and butter of every GTA Online player. So just find the ones that you love most and consider repeating them every once in a while.

However, since every game is about having good time and enjoyable experience, you should not stick to one particular mission or race. Completing missions & races of different sorts is the key. Just try whatever's available and have fun in the process – serious RP gain will come along with it.

As you can see, there are lots of ways to earn RP fast in GTA Online. Actually, you can always earn even more RP by participating in the activities, special events, and daily objectives that we haven't mentioned above too. Your own organization is also a good source of substantial amount of both money and experience. Better rewards come to those who are diligent.
