==Description==
The Metal Cestus upgrade will give you a slight advantage for [[Beat Up]] events, and any other instances that involve unarmed fighting. A particularly useful moment to have the Metal Cestus equipped is during the last fight against [[Rodrigo Borgia]], wherein you are disarmed of all weapons except the Metal Cestus/Fists. The origin of this weapon is the ancient Roman Empire, where gladiators used weapons similar to the Cestus in arena fights.
