Crouch down and sneak up behind your opponent and then strike. Even if you use non-firearm weapons such as a Baseball Bat or Police Baton, there's still a chance for that person to draw his weapon and fire, or scream out to warn others of your presence. When used correctly, it is the only surefire way in the game to kill a foe without hearing a peep from him. It is meant to seize your enemy from behind, so be patient." The Garrote Wire is one of our favorite weapons in the game. "The Garrote is an instrument of execution by strangulation. But you should really worry about hauling ass to a safe place before it goes off, or it'll most definitely take you with it as it explodes into oblivion. Setting it isn't exactly a secretive affair, however, as any thugs in the area will instantly turn on you if you use Dynamite. Dynamite can be used as an actual weapon in the game, but it's actually useful primarily as a way to get into bank vaults, and more importantly really, safes. We'll just tell you a little bit about DY-NO-MIIITE!. You can only carry a limited amount, so use them wisely." You may expect us to make a trite Good Times reference here, but we won't. It can be thrown or planted, but it has a short fuse, so watch your back. "Dynamite does tremendous damage to a small area, and it is great for destroying vehicles, safes, and bank vaults. If that's the case, then Bombs are what you'll be needing. Bombs are nice to use if you want to stop a mob war and decide that in lieu of bribing a G-Man you will blow up the rival family's business. Bombs, like Dynamite, aren't exactly the most secretive things to use, so once you plant it, be ready to fight whoever is in the area (civilians will simply run away for dear life). Because of this, you need to use them with great care and you yourself should most definitely evacuate the area that you are planting it in immediately after setting it, or pay the price of immediate death. You can only carry a limited number, so use them wisely." The Bomb is a weapon that will completely decimate whatever it is you set it on. Since a bomb has a long fuse, timing is everything. If thrown or planted inside of a building, it will gut it. "A Bomb deals tremendous damage to a large area. You won't find yourself in need of it too much when you will always have plenty of firearms available to you, but in those times when you need to be quiet and the Garrote Wire just isn't cutting it, switch to the Baseball Bat and bash a rival's head open to see just how effective it is. While too much use can result in it breaking, the Baseball Bat is a stronger weapon than the Police Baton in melee combat, although a little more clumsy to use. "The Baseball Bat is a strong wooden weapon that is great for intimidation, and in the right hands, the bat can be used as a lethal weapon." The Baseball Bat is big and bulky, but extremely strong. It doesn't get much more powerful than that in such a little package. But we highly recommend that in the first tier of pistol weapons you have access to in the game that you go with the Snub Nose's cousin, the Magnum. But if it's all you have at any given time, then it's what you're going to have to deal with. It's simply not a practical weapon in the long run.
While it's quiet, fast-shooting and easy to reload, the gun is undeniably weak, and later in the game you'll find yourself dumping an entire clip of ammo into an enemy just to take him out. 38 Snub Nose will seem like a great weapon in the beginning of the game, as you will likely get one after taking out your first cop. It is the most quiet firearm, but it is also the weakest." The. 38 Snub Nose is a standard police issued sidearm. but it's almost impossible to be without these.38 Snub Nose The first weapons, listed below, are your default weapons in the game that you acquire through various means. And while any motor vehicle is truly the best weapon in the game, it's a little hard to drive a car into a racket or bar, so hand weapons are your best choice. Without them, you are defenseless to enemy attacks and can't fight back with anything but your fists.
Weapons of all types are your bread and butter in The Godfather.
