The '''Machete''' is a relatively powerful and fast melee weapon in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. In GTA Vice City, the machete is considered heavy, disallowing the player the ability to sprint with the weapon. When a pedestrian is struck and not killed with the machete it produces a larger blood trail than the [[Meat Cleaver]]. The machete is a generally good all around choice for your melee slot in the absence of the [[Chainsaw]]. The Machete is styled not after the usual Brazilian straight-grip, large blade variety used for clearing brush, but the British Gurkha and Indian Gorkha Regiment's [[wikipedia:Khukri|Khukri]] fighting knife, which is a fearsome weapon in and of itself.

In the Stories renditions, the [[Heads-Up Display|HUD]] icon and the in-game version for the machete looks a lot like a lengthened [[knife]]. In Vice City Stories, the machete is a Naga Dao, used by the Naga tribe of Nagaland, north-eastern India. | ||

*The Machete in this game is unobtainable outside missions and can only be found in the hands of criminals during the [[Vigilante]] side mission. A [[Yakuza]] gang member is also seen using this weapon during the mission [[Cash in Kazuki's Chips]] but there's no way to keep it because the player switches to a [[Katana]] automatically later on in the mission. | *The Machete in this game is unobtainable outside missions and can only be found in the hands of criminals during the [[Vigilante]] side mission.
