Overview
Bleed Bandits are a hostile enemy faction encountered throughout Crimson Desert. They are one of the most widespread bandit groups in Pywel, occupying multiple locations and frequently clashing with players during exploration and quests.
Appearance
Bleed Bandits are recognizable by their distinctive red clothing. They wear the Scarlet Blades Cloth Armor, which uses the color red so that blood splatters remain inconspicuous during combat. This practical choice of attire makes them visually distinct from other bandit groups.
Locations
Bleed Bandits can be found occupying numerous locations across the game world, including:
Karin Quarry - players must drive them out during the Stolen Quarry faction quest
Fort Perwin - they occupy the Barracks, Infirmary, and Artillery Unit
Rocca's Hill Slave Camp - a Bleed Bandit-occupied camp
Bluemont Cask House - a convenient location for combat challenges
Anvil Riverside Bandit Camp - players must defeat them to access nearby mining nodes
Supply Tent - their presence has driven away travelers
Combat Behavior
Bleed Bandits typically appear in groups and will engage players on sight. They use a variety of weapons and can be aggressive in their attacks. Some Bleed Bandits serve as extortionists, shaking down NPCs for money and supplies.
Notable Encounters
During The Crimson Nightmare faction quest, players must liberate Fort Perwin from three groups of Bleed Bandits before confronting the Crimson Nightmare boss.
