GTA 6 Melee Weapons Guide: The Pool Cue
Welcome back to the ultimate
ViceHarbor.com database. While firearms dominate the streets of
Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6), sometimes you need to get up close and personal. Today, we are breaking down a confirmed melee weapon that is sure to bring chaos to the nightlife of the Leonida state: the
Pool Cue.
Weapon Overview & GTA 6 Lore
The in-game description sets the perfect tone for this improvised weapon:
"Break more than just the rack. Bar fights just got more interesting." Based on a standard real-world pool cue, this item strongly indicates that interactive interiors, such as bars, pubs, and pool halls, will play a significant role in the new Vice City map. Whether you are engaging in a mini-game that goes wrong or just causing trouble in a local dive bar, the Pool Cue is your go-to blunt instrument.
In-Game Statistics & Combat Strategy
Melee combat in GTA VI is expected to be more brutal and realistic. Here is how the Pool Cue performs according to the confirmed stats:
- Damage (35/100): Delivering solid blunt force trauma, it does moderate damage. While it might take a few swings to completely take down an enemy, it is highly effective for crowd control in tight spaces.
- Swing Speed / Fire Rate (60/100): Represented as "Fire Rate" in the database, this translates to a very fast swing speed for a two-handed melee weapon. Players can string together quick combos during a brawl.
- Accuracy (100/100): Maximum precision. If you are within striking distance, your hits will connect effortlessly, making it reliable in frantic hand-to-hand combat.
- Range (9/100): Naturally low due to being a melee item, but the length of the cue gives you a slight reach advantage over opponents using their fists, brass knuckles, or knives.
- Mobility (88/100): Exceptionally lightweight. You can sprint across a room, vault over pool tables, and dodge incoming punches without any movement penalties.
Confirmed Locations & Sourcing
According to leaked footage and database sources, the Pool Cue has been explicitly
seen in bar/pool hall scenes. This confirms that players will be able to pick up environmental objects during fights, adding a layer of dynamic realism to the open-world exploration of Leonida.
