Fists

Fists are a melee weapon added in the original beta release of suroi on May 21st, 2023.

Background

Strategies

Using

• Fists are usually used to break obstacles such as crates to get loot.
• Fists are also the only weapon you spawn with.
  • Fists are great for early-game fights when both players do not own guns.
  • This requires skill as it can be tricky to land hits on your opponent without them hitting you.
• Fists or any other melee weapon can be used to damage your opponent in extremely close-range situations during any phase of the game.
  • Doing this usually surprises your opponent, allowing you to deal a decent amount of damage with good aim before they can react.
  • This is often effective if your opponent is already at low health.
  • Be careful if your opponent has a better melee weapon that they can switch to after you attack.

Countering

• If you are being chased by a player trying to use fists and you don't want to engage in melee combat, try and keep your distance to gun them down.
• Often most guns are short enough so that they can still deal damage in short range.
  • Use this to your advantage and deal some extra damage to increase your chances of winning the fight.
  • This may be tricky if your opponent is strafing to avoid shots.
    • Shotguns can combat this with their large spread and number of pellets.
    • Weapons such as the Micro Uzi can also work.

Obtaining

All players spawn with fists so they are available for use at the start.
