Guide
This is not much of a guide, but there’s a way to upgrade your Vitality skill level by some in-game actions. Those are taking damage and losing blood. Another way to increase your Vitality skill is by going over some mines. This would indirectly also boost your Stress Resistance. So, yes, there’s a way to cheese the system, and should you decide to do it, just go ahead. Just make sure you grab yourself a Grizzly med and heal yourself fully before you step on another mine. If you play with friends, then you can shoot each other and open wounds so you start bleeding before you extract.
Another way of doing this is by running over a fire. There are a couple of Reserve, Customs, and Shoreline. Just make sure you have meds to heal through everything, or get a healing stimulant such as the eTG-C or Propital.
