HOW DO I GET BETTER MENTAL STATE IN GTA ONLINE

Don't kill people.

You might be thinking a higher mental state is better. If you are, that's not the case. The lower the better. To avoid raising it do not kill innocent civilians. You can kill cops and such but not civilians.

When you kill people and your mental state goes up, the game warns you that higher mental states will make you more of a target.. it makes your white dot more red.. a light pink dot is someone that's maybe killed a couple of people.. a full on red dot means they're on a rampage..

I'm not 100% on this, but I remember a couple of years back, I made a joke in a public lobby asking: "If I take a hit from the bong, will my mental state go down?" and people answered back yes.. maybe they were joking too, maybe it works.. but I've never been mowed down simply because my mental state. People don't care if you're killing NPCs so much, it's when they see so-and-so killed somebody over and over again that people end up going after so-and-so..

I don't use caplocks, but I'm familiar with mental state levels rising from killing people for no reason.. what does caplocks have to do with anything?

(The ONLY time I ever use caplocks is if I'm riding a bike.. which is pretty much only the First Dose 4th mission)

Mental state means nothing. It is a temporary state. Increase it by killing things excessively and you will notice it go up. After 24 hours it resets to zero, but to lower it immediately, play missions and races. It will decrease the more jobs you play. After a few hours the stat will empty.

Mental State has always been an easy trigger for "grinders". If they see this stat high on your character they are more likely to kick you from modes you join or remain passive mode around you, since they think you're hostile, and that your entire playtime involves killing other players, something that also increases the mental state stat. You might just like killing npc's but it's seen as a warning sign for anyone who is... shall we say, a little frightened of confrontation.
