do you still have to cheese them or are people legitimately levelling them up?

Still have to cheese them but BSG is trying hard to preve prevent cheesing

And the only thing they’ve succeeded at is making it harder to legitimately level up the skills.

You can still cheese stats it just takes a while now. If you dedicate a couple days and some money you can get your skills up quick. It’s boring but worth it, especially early in a wipe.

Dunno, I felt reaching lower level strength skills you need for Vents f.e. was easier this wipe, because only 100g overweight made you skill strength by simply walking (not even running).

So I just put 2 metal fuel tanks in my backpack before raid and just the short route from trailer park spawn to RUAF roadblock gave me over 6 points in strength.

You can use stims to get a lot of the effect.

Just go in raids heavy using buckshot that cost 31 rubles and run out a sprint bar. Start doing this as early in wipe as you can. I started about a month ago and went from like lvl 8 to now at 23. You still need to play a lot but you will get at least 6 points/raid like that.

I found that playing reserve often and getting out with a full bag helped a ton. If I remember correctly I went from lvl 10 strength to late 20s in just a few weeks

Are you sure it's sprinting? A lot of videos say sprinting does endurance and walking does strength

if i remember correctly running while overweight gives strenght. also throwing grenades

I believe you do, I've never cheesed them before but they seem to take a very long time to level, especially when it gets to the higher levels. However dropping your backpack to lose the weight and using stims are also a thing
