How Brass Knuckles and Pistol 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.

Tommy's first proper sidearm — a Colt .45 semi-automatic with a tight aim assist. Sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the story and a staple of the early-game arsenal.
