    Default Spy STR

    Is there an easy way to level Spy's STR?

    Pistols or rifles work well.

    You could try meleeing launchers if you're feeling crazy.

    cons levels it fast, as does taking damage, I usually hunted with a PPU so I could soak up lots of damage (kept me alive and as a rank15 in the chaos caves, you get TONS of XP!)

    Dmg = Con + Str so just get hit...

    That is like the one thats the easiest part to cap con and str...

    I had no problem leveling my STR to 40. It was probably the first thing I capped (even before Psi). Non-tech weapons seemed to level STR faster than tech, but that may just be a matter of perception.

    Recycling and Construction also level STR. Try to recycle everything you can while hunting. Solantium, Mertium, Arillium, etc, and try building some low level parts (ammo, usually - low chem requirements).

    i also found meele was a good way to lvl my spys str , but back in the day we still had 50 str (and 50 con, only 80 dex tho) so meele was a more viable option to keep at the end(and the fact that loms didnt yet exist) , and it was fun to watch a young spy hacking a launcher to death with a laserblade 2 . But with my current spy im finding just getting shot at alot is lvling it up well enough, and not using armour seems to make it go along a bit quicker, and it gets the con up as well.

    out of coffee error, please reset user

    before i went HC spy i was MC. And yes I was hacking away launcher cyclops with a long laser blade II. Of course it was fun also taking down terror maulers and raptors and on occasion a doomreaper but now I'm HC and have fun taking down grim chasers and grim percs down rather fast without having to run away
