Bleed

Bleed damage is an attribute the player can receive symbolized by a red blood drop icon in the bottom right corner of the screen above the health and hunger bars.

The player can receive bleeding damage from taking heavy damage, usually from being shot by a hunter or when attacked by a hostile animal.

When bleeding, the player will slowly lose health every few seconds.

To stop bleeding the player must use a bandage, or simply wait until the bleeding stops.
