Description
The Pool Cue is the ultimate bar-fight weapon, a long wooden stick that brings improvised chaos to Vice City's nightlife scene. Found in the dive bars, billiard halls, and backroom gambling dens scattered across Leonida, the pool cue is more about atmosphere than lethality. It's the weapon you grab when a poker game goes wrong at the Malibu Club or a hustle in Little Haiti turns sour.
Design
A standard two-piece pool cue with a lacquered maple shaft and a leather-wrapped grip. The tapered design gives it a fencing-like quality when wielded. Some variants may feature bar-branded logos or custom wraps from Vice City's pool hall circuit.
Performance
The pool cue offers excellent reach - second only to the golf club - but deals the lowest damage of any melee weapon. It's fast to swing and good for keeping distance from unarmed attackers, but it breaks after sustained use and is nearly useless against armed or armored targets.
Customization
N/A - a disposable bar prop with no upgrade path.
Locations
Found inside pool halls, dive bars, and nightclub back rooms across Vice City, particularly in Little Haiti, Vice Beach boardwalk bars, and the Malibu Club interior.
Trivia
- The pool cue first appeared as a weapon in GTA San Andreas during the pool minigame.
- GTA VI's pool halls are expected to feature a playable billiards minigame where the cue doubles as a weapon if a fight breaks out.
- The pool cue may have a unique break animation when durability runs out after too many hits.
- Bar-fight scenarios triggered by hustling NPCs at pool tables are a rumored dynamic encounter in Leonida's nightlife districts.
