How Brass Knuckles and Cane stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

A pair of brass knucks that turn CJ's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing his animation. The earliest melee upgrade in San Andreas — find them in alleys, on dead pedestrians, or at hidden pickups across Los Santos.

A pimp-style walking cane Carl can swing as a low-damage melee weapon, mostly used for style or comic effect. Found at the Four Dragons Casino and in certain Las Venturas safehouses.
