Nightstick
Quick, light, and built for control rather than damage, the Nightstick isn't the weapon you reach for to end a fight fast, it's the one you use to keep someone down until it's over.
Combat Performance
Fire Modes: Blunt melee
About This Weapon
Not much drama here, just a police baton, the same kind carried by every cop in Leonida. It’s a blunt, unassuming weapon that trades raw power for speed, quick enough to land two or three hits before something heavier winds up for one.
Special Features
Fastest swing speed among the game's blunt melee weapons, making up for lower per-hit damage with quicker follow-ups
Tied closely to law enforcement in past GTA titles, often carried by police NPCs rather than sold at Ammu-Nation
Lower damage than tools like the crowbar or hammer, positioning it as a speed option rather than a knockout weapon
Fits non-lethal takedown scenarios better than most melee weapons, useful for subduing rather than outright killing
