Arriving in Broker

Bleed Out

Giver
Roman Bellic
Location
A phone call from Roman, then the basketball courts under the elevated train in Firefly Projects, Broker
Reward
$50, Roman added as a friend to hang out with, if First Date is already done

Requires Three’s a Crowd

Unlocks Easy Fare (once First Date is also done), hanging out with Roman (once First Date is done)

Roman calls for help from the courts in Firefly Projects. Beat up two loan sharks with your fists, chase a third one across Broker in a cab, finish him at the end of the chase, then drive Roman back to his depot. You earn $50.

Before you start

This mission and First Date start from the same moment. Roman’s call comes while you are on your way to Michelle’s apartment. You can answer it and play Bleed Out first, or ignore it and finish First Date. Nothing is lost either way, because Roman rings again after the date and the mission then plays out the same.

Easy Fare needs both missions finished. Hanging out with Roman only unlocks if First Date is done, so if you play this first, you can still do the date afterward and get it then.

Objectives

  1. Go and rescue Roman.
  2. Beat up Bledar.
  3. Beat up Kalem.
  4. Go and help Roman.
  5. Get in Roman’s car.
  6. Chase Dardan.
  7. Take out Dardan.
  8. Get in Roman’s car.
  9. Drive Roman to the garage.

Bleed Out walkthrough

Drive to the basketball courts

Roman rings in a panic and says he is cornered in the courts under the elevated train in Firefly. Your objective is a blue blip on the radar, and the GPS route can be switched on from the menu. Roman’s cab works fine for the trip, and any other car does too. Drive to Firefly Projects and keep it tidy, because a wrecked car means the rest of the way is on foot.

A car drives down a Broker street while the phone shows a call from Roman.
The dark car drives along a street with the radar route pointing toward Firefly.
A car pulls up at a curb with the objective to go and rescue Roman and a help message about the GPS route.

The courts are on Oneida Avenue behind a chain-link fence. Park on the street and walk up to the fence. Three Albanian loan sharks are inside and one is already beating Roman. The fence blocks every vehicle, so you go in on foot.

Niko steps up to the chain-link fence of the basketball courts beside the parked car.
Niko hangs from the fence and climbs over toward the courts.

Beat up Bledar and Kalem

Climb the fence and drop onto the court. Bledar walks over to meet you while Kalem keeps working on Roman. The game now teaches you to fight. Hold the lock-on so your target stays in front of you, then mix punches and kicks. Block when he swings and hit him straight after. Wild punches cost you health. If you want a shorter fight, pick up the baseball bat lying near the Hove Beach safehouse before you drive over. It ends both fights quickly. Either way, Bledar goes down and the objective moves to Kalem.

Niko trades punches with a man in a white and brown jacket on the court with the objective to beat up Bledar.
Niko fights on the court while a help message lists the punch and kick actions.
Niko lands a hit on the man while a help message explains the lock-on reticle.

Kalem fights the same way but takes a bit more punishment. Dodge his swings, counter, and keep hitting until he drops. Roman gets up, and Dardan waves at you, hops into a beige car and speeds off. The loan sharks are not done yet.

Niko grapples with a man in a red and white jacket with the objective to beat up Kalem.
Niko locks onto the man in the red jacket while a help message explains the red reticle.
Niko fights the man in the red jacket with a help message about blocking.

Chase Dardan

Roman’s cab is parked at the curb near the court. Walk to it and get in, and Roman climbs in beside you. Your new objective is Dardan, shown by a red blip on the radar. He is already out of sight, so drive hard along the road under the elevated tracks and follow the blip.

Niko hangs on the fence with the objective to get in Roman's car on screen.
Niko walks toward the parked car with its door open and the objective to get in Roman's car.
The car pulls away from the curb with the objective to chase Dardan and a beige car ahead.

Dardan drives quickly but does not weave well through traffic. Cut corners, stay close behind his beige car and trust the red blip when he turns out of view. Roman talks the whole way, so ignore him and watch the road. The route winds through the docks of Broker past stacked shipping containers and warehouses.

Roman's car trails a gray sedan toward a security gate on Oakley Street as a handbrake prompt appears.
The car drives down a road lined with warehouses and containers, still following the route.
The car drives along a quiet dock street with a yellow curb.

The chase ends at a sugar factory by the water. Dardan skids to a stop, jumps out, and runs for a staircase on the side of the building. The on-screen text says he is escaping on foot up the staircase.

The car approaches a staircase with a subtitle saying the target is stopping to flee on foot.
The car sits at the foot of an outdoor staircase with the objective about Dardan escaping up the staircase.

Take out Dardan

You can follow on foot or stay in the cab. The stairs are wide enough for the cab, so you can drive straight up behind Dardan and run him down before he reaches the top. If you go in on foot, he pulls a knife on you. The game then shows how to take a weapon from an attacker so you can use it back on him.

The car is on the staircase above a lot with a white sedan, and a subtitle about what is owed is shown.
The car sits at the bottom of the stairs as Roman tells Niko to drive back to the depot.

Drive Roman home

When Dardan is finished, the objective sends you back to the cab. Get in and drive to Express Car Service on Iroquois Avenue in Hove Beach. Roman moans about his bruises on the way and scooters cut across the road, so drive steadily. Stop inside the yellow marker outside the depot and Roman climbs out, which ends the mission. Wrecking the cab fails it.

The car turns onto a street with the objective to drive Roman to the garage.
The car drives down an empty street with the garage route on the radar.
The car waits at a corner near the Express Car Service building.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • Roman dies
  • Roman’s cab is destroyed
  • You lose Dardan during the chase
  • You abandon Roman

After the mission

The mission pays $50. Roman is safe, and you can now call him from your phone for more cab work later. Once First Date is also done, Easy Fare opens and you can hang out with Roman whenever you like. Play whichever of the two you skipped, then head for the depot.

The car stops at the curb outside the depot while a man runs away and a thank-you subtitle shows.
The car waits beside another car at the end of the mission with the $50 reward shown at the top right.
