How Brass Knuckles and Kruger 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 Ruger AC-556-style mid-tier assault rifle — accurate, ammo-efficient, and the first proper rifle Tommy can carry. Stocked at the mainland Ammu-Nation and reliably dropped during mid-story missions.
