Template:Infobox weapons
The Nightstick is a melee weapon found across the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Design
3D Universe
The Nightstick is a law enforcement T-Baton, believed to be based on the Monadnock PR-24 Control Device Baton.
The weapon is distinguished by its black finish and is usually issued to police officers.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The Nightstick in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars retains the design as in the previous generation, only that, as seen on the HUD, it is more rounded.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Nightstick in Grand Theft Auto V gains better visual detailings than previous iterations, while keeping the basic shape and the black color. In the enhanced version, it has an LSPD police officer badge emblazoned just above its handle. This is more easily noticeable in first-person view.
Performance
3D Universe
Although not as powerful as the Baseball Bat, it has an advantage of being a single-handed weapon and thus a quicker running speed. The Nightstick is best suited for fast melee attacks, while keeping a stronger force to knock enemies than the Fist.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
The Nightstick is versatile in terms of speed and has average range, allowing the player to take out enemies before they can counter-attack.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Nightstick can hit targets quickly, thanks to its compact size. The longer length gives the weapon better range than the fist, though not as much as most club-based weapons.
