If you don’t want to waste a trip, do a few survivor missions and the first case. You can get one off of the wall in the gun store at the front of the Palisades Mall. Note that if you’re really having trouble, just bring a gun. You can save as the fight starts and take cover in the maintenance room. Note that there is a bathroom and a maintence room in the center of the split rock. He should take a straight run at the fence and ram it for a guaranteed stun. Stick to the outside and wait by the fences. He doesn’t seem to take long enough runs at you to build up the speed for a crash. The actual middle of the rock path didn’t seem to be too good if you want to melee him. The actual best process I found was to stick close to the outside of the rocks. You will need to always approach from the side and hit from behind. Note that merely touching the blades will briefly stun and hurt Chuck. The real trick to killing Leon is that you have to approach him from the rear.


After he spins around for a bit, he’ll stop to do a brief celebration dance. Note that he also does a bragging session after he gets a solid hit on Chuck. If you can trick him into running into a wall, fence or tree, then he’ll be stunned for a moment and you can get in a few hits until he pulls away (or if he’s trapped good you can finish it in one run). There are only two times that he is really vulnerable. This is just a basic bullfighting challenge. Regardless, he’ll drive around the rock and try to ram into Chuck. He can run into you with the saw blade and do a lot of damage and usually throw Chuck around or at least stun him. Once you find him, you might be able to draw him away to any other section, but the fight should start here. Leon should be driving around the big set of rocks. I suggest that you get onto the motorbike on the platform and follow him up to the upper half of the strip. This isn’t actually a race, he just drives off to another area. Thankfully he hands you the key to the motorbike on the big platform. After he officially loses it, we’ll need to go after him. Once you go to the front of the arena, you’ll get a cutscene showing Leon, your old rival. If you’re looking for a way to easily grind through the strip, the bike isn’t a bad choice. On another note, it’s one of the most valuable psychopath missions, since it will give you access to the motorbike and its combo trailer. You can also run away from Leon at any point and duck into a bar or store for something to drink or eat. It can be done with a little agility and a melee weapon.

This is honestly a pretty easy fight and it doesn’t require much special preparation. You may even accidentally trigger Leon before you get the call for it. Leon is probably going to be the first psychopath that you meet.
