GTA V Melee Weapons
Some players find the melee mode in Grand Theft Auto 5 to be much better than it was in GTA 4, while others prefer the old way. Regardless, even without heavy firepower, you can still cause some damage with the following melee items:
- Fists – As it has been in every single GTA title, even in situations where you don’t have a weapon, you can always use your fists.
- Knife – Besides being Bryan Adams’ favorite weapon, the Knife lets you perform stealth attacks when you don’t want to alert anyone around you.
- Nightstick – A single-handed weapon that isn’t as powerful as the Baseball Bat, but can still do some damage and let you run fast.
- Hammer – Unlike with MC Hammer, you can touch this… but only if you have the GTA 5 Special Edition or Collector’s Edition. It’s great for short range attacks, and can be stolen from construction workers (once they’re dead).
- Wrench – Can only be used during torture sequences (shudder).
- Baseball Bat – One of three “special” GTA V melee weapons, it packs decent damage.
- Crowbar – The second “special” melee weapon, this is a pretty hard weapon to find in GTA 5, but there’s one between a green trash can and a pile of pallets at the Cluckin’ Bell Farms, and there’s also one on a sunken ship of the NW coast of the mainland.
- Golf Club – The third “special” melee weapon in the game, and certainly the most civilized melee weapon in GTA V, but it still packs a punch… especially if your victim is on the ground.
