How Fist and Flamethrower stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.

Claude's default unarmed strike — a quick straight punch with no flair, used the moment you holster every other weapon. The starting point for every brawl in 2001 Liberty City.

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.
