This mission introduces you to the melee combat system and further establishes Roman's precarious situation. You'll need to defend Roman from some thugs at a basketball court.
Roman's gambling debts continue to haunt him, leading to another confrontation. This time, the situation escalates to a physical altercation, requiring Niko to use his fists. 'Bleed Out' is a good opportunity to practice the melee combat mechanics, which can be surprisingly effective in certain situations, especially when you're low on ammo or want to conserve it.
