How do you level Athletics in Cyberpunk 2077? - Man holding a Portable Light

Most of the traits are no brainers to level. Athletics feels like a different beast however. I looked it up and it said running around and exhausting stamina levels it but I haven't noticed it working.

The only reliable thing so far is finding 'Force Open' options on shutters and doors. Is there anything else I could do to raise it?



Best Answer

Based on personal experience, it's a difficult skill to level. You have to run for a certain amount of time (~30 seconds) without breaks, and jumping or sliding (by crouching while running) help. Effectively, you have to treat it like a parkour game and find new ways to quickly move around. Jumping onto and off benches or low walls seems to help too, as it becomes easier to run uninterrupted if you can get just above most of the crowds.

I've also found that the risky behavior of bringing a fist to a gun fight helps cross-train the skill with street brawler, because I'll be running and sliding between cover and my next opponent, but it's much slower than focusing on running itself. The short answer is stop using a car or fast travel and just run everywhere.

An extremely easy exploit for leveling up Athletics quickly involves entering berserk mode, and then rapidly attacking with a melee weapon equipped. This will allow you to level up roughly once a minute for lower levels. An Operating System with a long duration, such as the Militech Berserk MK. 5 is best for this.

Answer 2

It is almost certainly bugged at the moment: you'll want to, at the least, avoid perks that reduce stamina drain and possibly look into levelling glitches for this: I'm currently level 46, spent a lot of time travelling on foot and fighting with hands, and it's only level 4.
