How Brass Knuckles and Katana 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 curved Japanese sword that decapitates pedestrians in a single clean swing — the franchise's debut for the weapon. Earned during the Cuban-versus-Haitian arc and reliably re-picked-up at the Ocean View safehouse.
