How Battle Axe and Brass Knuckles stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.
A medieval-style two-handed war axe added with the Bikers update — one of GTA V's slowest melee weapons, but with the highest single-hit damage in the entire melee class.
A pair of brass knucks that turn Michael, Trevor, and Franklin's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing the animation. Stocked at Ammu-Nation and a staple GTA Online opener.
