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

Background

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.
- If you are a mobile player, you will have much better movement, so you can use this technique most effectively.
- If you are a computer or PC player and notice that your opponent does not move at 45° directions, you should refrain from attacking with your fists due to their better movement.

If you are being chased by a player trying to use fists, and you don't want to engage in melee combat, try to keep your distance to gun them down.
Often most guns are short enough so that they can still deal damage at 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 such as the Flues can combat this with their large spread and number of pellets.
  - Weapons such as the Micro Uzi can also work.
  - If you are a mobile player, you will be able to outrun a computer or PC player easily.

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

The hand that you punch with is completely random, sometimes it will be the right hand, and sometimes it will be the left hand.
