Pool Cue

For Grand Theft Auto VI, the Pool Cue is classified as a Cue. Beyond the appearance already documented on this page, the available information identifies no GTA VI price, pickup point, attack behaviour, modification, alternate version, trailer timestamp, or regional placement for it. Earlier-game characteristics should therefore not be treated as confirmed GTA VI mechanics.

The item is a pool-playing implement as well as a melee weapon. In San Andreas, its principal use was at a pool table. Grand Theft Auto IV retained that table-game function even though the cue was not normally usable as an outdoor weapon, and The Lost and Damned continued to allow pool while also making a weapon version available.

The San Andreas cue was a full-length model, with a dark butt section and a brown shaft. Its game model had previously served as a cutscene object in Vice City’s “Alloy Wheels of Steel”; Mitch Baker and a fellow biker handled it during that scene.

In San Andreas, the cue was powerful enough to dispatch any pedestrian with a single hit, but its length prevented the player from sprinting while carrying it. It could be collected at Blueberry in Red County, beside a small restaurant north of the entrance to The Well Stacked Pizza Co.; at the Doherty construction site in San Fierro, beneath a collapsed section of floor near a Flamethrower; and in Rockshore East, Las Venturas, beside a dumpster in an industrial complex.

A cue was also awarded after a pool game at any of four bars around San Andreas, replacing a weapon in the same slot. Killing a pool player could provide one as well. These methods tied the weapon directly to the activities and characters associated with pool rather than to a conventional weapons shop.

Grand Theft Auto IV internally placed the Pool Cue among melee weapons, but its combat use was removed before release. It still worked for playing pool, while ordinary gameplay did not permit it as a weapon outside that activity. Trainers could make it available, revealing a low-detail model with no HUD symbol and behaviour matching the Baseball Bat.

The Lost and Damned formally introduced the cue as a weapon, although this combat model was only half the length of a normal cue. A separate full-size version appeared for pool, using the shortened weapon as its lower portion and presenting a more polished appearance. The halved weapon could be found at the Homebrew Café and at the Lost MC Clubhouse.

Its combat damage matched the Baseball Bat, varying with the attack used. Unlike the bat, it had no dodge animation: blocking remained possible, but counter-attacks could not be performed.

Grand Theft Auto Online used the shortened Lost and Damned form, with a lighter-coloured finish and “OLD GEN” markings. Ammu-Nation sold it for $6,250. Its fighting behaviour was effectively the same as that of the Baseball Bat and Golf Club, and it ranked among the stronger melee choices.

The Baseball Bat is the closest repeated comparison across the earlier games: the inaccessible GTA IV cue used its behaviour, while The Lost and Damned assigned the two the same damage. Online also places the Golf Club alongside them in practical combat terms.
