The Fists are usable only if equipped with the Cellphone, and the Pistol Whip is only usable if equipped with a firearm. It's useful to save ammo, but it's weak.
Overview
Pistol whipping does little damage, but, as stated above, is very useful if you are out of ammo or want to save any ammo you have left. Pistol whipping with any pistol-type weapons or items like the Mobile phone will destroy planks. You can also break boards with your fists. It also does not require any stamina. On the other hand, pistol-whipping with any rifles-type weapons (Remington 870, FAMAS, M16, Hunting Rifle, etc.) will not deal any damage but only push the enemy away. It can't even break planks, and it depletes a small amount of stamina.
Advantages
- Moderately fast, but slow compared to other methods
- Doesn't affect accuracy unlike other melee weapons
- Doesn't take up inventory space
- Almost always available
- Pistol whipping with any single handed or pistol-type gun can break wooden planks
- Whipping with any dual-handed weapons (rifles, shotgun, etc.) will stun enemies, allowing you to kill them without them fighting back
Disadvantages
- Weakest form of assault in the entire game
- Whipping with any two handed or rifle-type gun will not affect any breakable object. It also consumes a bit of stamina
- Will not have an effect on any kind of boss
