'''The Fist''' is a 'weapon' available in all of the [[Grand Theft Auto]] games.  


The fist icon is really the unarmed state for the [[protagonist|protagonist]], and it allows the player to fistfight. Punches and kicks are its moves, and is actually quite powerful when fighting one-on-one with someone.
The fist represents the unarmed state for the [[protagonist]]; he will not draw attention in weapons-free zones, and merely locking onto pedestrians or police will not result in any physical action which might cause a panic or attract a [[Wanted level]]. In some GTA games, fists can be augmented with [[Brass Knuckles]] to increase damage.
 
Naturally, fists are a last-resort weapon in the GTA games, lacking the range of firearms and power of melee weapons.  Bare-handed attacks have unique properties -- for example, they can be chained, causing the protagonist to unleash a series of various punches and kicks, including a stomp or ground-level kick if an enemy is lying prone. In [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], the player is able to learn more powerful moves by fighting and defeating [[gyms|gym]] trainers. [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] introduced new abilities while fistfighting, including breaking opponents' necks. In the [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] era, fighting was made more realisitic, and timing elements were introduced into physical combat to allow dodging and 'finishing' moves. While there is almost never a need to fight barehanded in multiplayer, fist fights are often fun.

Unlike any other weapon, the fist is always available for use. Its main disadvantage is that it lacks power and range. Free-aiming with fists also has no effect on [[Pedestrians|pedestrians]] or [[Police|police]], unlike a firearm which would cause panic and [[Wanted Level|wanted-level]] stars.
