How Brass Knuckles and Thermal Goggles 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.
Heat-vision goggles that highlight humans and warm vehicles as bright signatures — perfect for tracking enemies through smoke or buildings. Awarded during the Las Venturas casino-prep arc and stocked at Ammu-Nation afterward.
