Athletics

[mateus235]

Hi i realized during the game that athletics lvl up much slower then other skills u should take a look at that for ex after i stunned 5 enemies with the batoon i was awarded 20 xp in athletics meanwhile my cold blood increased by 139 xp i know that athletics is tie to stamina bar but still xp gain is v low compared to other skills especially in higer lvls of athletics . Can u u take a look at that ?

it is busted need to wait for fix balance. all others skills are easy to level, but athletics sometimes work sometines dont and if they work they give small exp

Literally read my mind! I was about to post something about Athletics and then saw this. My problem is that I'm running around a lot, not all the time but I'm still at Level 1 Athletics with 5% progress! I'm not using melee weapons at all, though.

During the first 20ish hrs I avoid using vehicle if possible, turn out that I only got lvl 2 Athletic as result. Now I'm 50hrs in game, only lvl 4 Athletic. I don't even know how to lvl this skill. Outrage!

I've been told you level this skill up through running and sprinting but I've found that doesn't make a noticeable difference. However, after playing on of the Beat a Brat missions I found it boosted Athletics quite a bit, even though I failed the mission itself so it seems hand to hand combat boosts it too.

Recently I saw a vid says that to lvl up Athletic, V need to have his stamina bar depleted. So, I not only unlocked the perk that increase the maximum stamina, I also have that no sprint stamina cost perk unlocked, makes lvling up Athletic very hard. Not even jump can deplete my stamina bar I guess. Need to melee fight to exhaust that bar I guess.

I've gotten Athletics XP from falling far enough to hurt/stun me before, but none for jumping and sprinting around for 5 minutes, even at level 2. Doesn't seem worthwhile pursuing at the moment.

It might just be me. But i feel like you can run so much. I have 5 in body and feel like i can run for quite a long time. Atleast out of combat. So didn't get whey it was in. I guess if you go melee build. Or plan to run everywhere, which i found pointless as we have a car.

But athletics needs a fixing or serious boost

Reporting same issue. Well everybody has it.
There are glitches and stuff that help you level it faster. But thats not a solution.

Using melee build and running, jumping, swimming, dashing, fighting etc got me on lvl 2 athletics. My level is 30 and everything else i use is above 10.

This is broken and normal athletic stuff you do gives you only couple XP. It need big adjustment.

Please fix this asap.

force-opening doors gives you like 100+xp for each time you do it. problem is - thats not repeatable, theres only very few doors to force-open and you MAY need the Gorilla Arms implant to get the option at all (also strength at around 7+, but since you want to train athletics, which is a sub-attrib to str, that shouldnt be a problem). I feel like force-opening should be a far more common option.

I am under the impression that using blades weapons, or the mantis, helps to level up Athletics too.

also a fast way to deplete the stamina is to spam the side/forward dodges

It does not. Level 22, athletics 3 after playing melee only

I think there's something bugged with penalty for depleting stamina bar also.

So, yeah, just found something that does level it up faster. Need at least 8 in body skill, then just approach any ground placed gun turret, and you'll get option to rip the gun out of it. 100+ per attempt. It also works on turrets that you previously turned off with hacking.
