How Brass Knuckles and Hammer 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 claw hammer — a blunt, one-handed melee tool that lands with a heavy thud. Picked up in construction sites and around the half-finished Vice Point projects on the mainland.
