How Baseball Bat and Flamethrower stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.
GTA III's only proper melee weapon — a wooden bat that downs pedestrians in two or three swings and turns car windows into shrapnel. Reliably looted from downed Mafia goons in Portland.
A back-mounted napalm sprayer with a continuous stream of flame — devastating against gang clusters but useless against vehicles. Required reading for several Yakuza and Cartel missions in Shoreside Vale.
