Brass Knuckles

Can they be repaired? I used a toolkit but nothing seems to repair them.

You can repair them with a grinding stone. Same goes for swords, axes and tools like the pickaxe.

Ok that one makes no sense.

Grinding stones are to sharpen the edge of weapons. The brass knuckles have no sharp edge so a tool box would make more sense.

It still puzzles me to this day why combat with brass knuckles does not increase brawling skill.. instead it increases melee.

Agree with both above
-Toolbox
-Brawling

[CrankyOldMan]

Yes it seems that some of the devs already have the BCU implants and are aimlessly wandering around like the puppets.

There is nothing on them that needs to be sharpened! The ones in Scum are not the bladed type!

From what I've seen of brass knuckles they're definitely weapons/tools. Not only you'd need to hold your hand in a certain way while hitting but it can also damage yourself. The force going into it to avoid hurting is also different since the idea of it is to hit with the iron part. There's also knuckles with spikes if you wanna go the hardcore way.

You can even hit at an angle with them, so I can see why they'd be under melee weapons experience. Under most circumastances it'd hurt your hand, so you gotta do it a certain way. There's enough difference that you'd consider it a melee weapon over normal fist fighting. Plus you'd be unable to grab properly or use proper brawling with them.

I know it's a game and where you spam click with fists, it might not go as a real fight where grabbing and stuff might occur but brass knuckles would def disallow for most of that, thus further points for it being a melee weapon lol.

If you'd grind both sides, then the top sides of it, it'd even it out. It doesn't have to "sharpen" it. You also have the inside part that touches your hand, you can't use a hammer in there.
