How Brass Knuckles and Machete stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
A pair of brass knucks that boost Tommy's unarmed damage without changing his animation — the earliest melee upgrade in Vice City. Found in alleys and on dead pedestrians around Vice Beach.
A broad chopping blade carried by the Haitian gangs — heavier than the knife with a wider arc. Reliably looted from downed Haitians during Auntie Poulet's missions and the Little Haiti turf war.
