How Brass Knuckles and Flamethrower 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 back-mounted napalm sprayer with a continuous stream of flame — devastating against tight groups but useless against vehicles. Required in "Are You Going to San Fierro?" and sold at Las Venturas Ammu-Nation.
