Dossier
The pool cue is a conditional weapon. The first strike is effective. The second strike is effective. The third strike is the moment the cue breaks and the fight changes character.
In Vice City bars it is always within reach of whoever needs it. The bar culture across Vice County means these show up in brawl footage the way firearms show up in heist footage: reliably and in quantity.
Against a single opponent in a bar environment with room to swing it lands consistently. Against multiple opponents or anyone who can close the distance before the swing completes, its value drops to zero faster than any other melee option in the arsenal.
