How Brass Knuckles and Meat Cleaver 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 heavy butcher's cleaver introduced through Vice City's organised-crime missions — short reach but punishing damage per swing. Frequently dropped by enemy gangs during mission triggers in Little Havana.
