To gain a character level, Sam must level up his skills by using them. Each skill level up fills the level bar (shown below) by one increment. When the bar is full, Sam gains a level. Each character level requires an increasing number of skill level ups to achieve.

Allies level up when Sam does, though they will remain one level lower. Ally stat and perk points are manually assigned, when allies level up. They receive the same number of skill points as Sam had gained to achieve the level, most of these points are automatically allocated, the rest can be manually allocated. The automatically allocated skill points will be most heavily invested in the character's key skill, as outlined on the team Screen.

It's best not to spend too much time on surveillance in the early game, as it takes time and the gangs are levelling up in the meantime. You should do just enough to find out the gang presence and danger level before attacking. Don't bother trying to wipe out all activity from a tile; just attack it once and then move onto another tile, preferably with a different gang. If you attack the same tiles too many times, you may get ambushed by a gang lieutenant.

If you focus too much on a single gang (even in different tiles), you may get ambushed by a gang lieutenant.

How does the supply stealing operation work?

While there is a level of randomisation on what you get, item quality is not modified by stats or skill, nor (given the relatively small quantity of good stolen) will it hurt the wealth of the gang. Ammo is more likely from survivalists, explosives/melee from churchers.
