How Brass Knuckles and Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher 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 lock-on FIM-Stinger-style launcher that auto-tracks helicopters and jets — the answer to police choppers and the Hydra. Unlocked at Las Venturas Ammu-Nation and found at Area 69.
