Beat on the Brat

Beat on the Brat is a side job in. It becomes available when V first meets Coach Fred in their apartment building.

Preliminaries
After the initial fight with the training robot, it acts as a tracker for the following side jobs:
 * Beat on the Brat: Arroyo
 * Beat on the Brat: Kabuki
 * Beat on the Brat: Rancho Coronado
 * Beat on the Brat: The Glen

Only the Kabuki fight can be done during Act 1, as the rest of the locations are inaccessible until Act 2 due to Watson being under NCPD lockdown.

Completing all four fights will unlock the championship fight against professional boxer Razor Hugh.

If V completes the side job Send in the Clowns, which unlocks after completing the main job Transmission, an optional fifth preliminary fight will be unlocked: Beat on the Brat: Pacifica.

Razor Hugh
The championship fight against Razor Hugh is held in the Grand Imperial Mall in Pacifica. Before the fight begins, Coach Fred will offer to double V's cash reward if they throw the fight and let Razor win. V can accept, ensuring they will receive the bonus no matter how they lose. If V wins the fight, then regardless of whether they took Fred's offer, they will still receive the standard amount of money as a reward.

Among the audience are some of V's past opponents and Viktor Vektor, who will tell V that Razor is weak to hits in the torso because he recently had new abdominal muscles implanted. Punching Razor in the gut will stagger him for a few seconds. Razor is fast and hits very hard, but can be stun-locked by repeatedly breaking his guard with charged punches using Gorilla Arms.

If V accepted Fred's offer to throw the fight and loses to Razor, Viktor will notice and criticize V for it. If V wins, Viktor and the other fighters will compliment V.
