How Brass Knuckles and Tear Gas 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 canister that releases a cloud of CS gas, making enemies cough and slowly take damage — limited utility but funny for staged shootouts. Hard to find legitimately; appears at LSPD lockers and via the "WEAPON3" cheat.
