How Brass Knuckles and Molotov Cocktail 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 petrol-filled bottle that bursts into a lingering pool of fire — perfect for area denial and burning gang members alive. Frequently dropped by Ballas during turf wars and unlocked at Ammu-Nation early in the story.
