In this game, Mantel soldiers make use of Nectar, a performance-enhancing pharmaceutical drug that grants the user with enhanced speed, accuracy and strength. Mantel uses this drug to control the minds of all its soldiers. When administered, "Nectar" can control among other things what a soldier sees, similar to the effects of a hallucinogenic drug. It makes enemies the only real thing soldiers see, and drowns out the surrounding images of death and destruction. An overdose of the Nectar is very dangerous resulting in the loss of mental control and death being , its possible side-effects.
Rebel soldiers may go in to a Play Dead state just before they are killed, allowing them to regenerate their health. In addition, they have been given the capability to exploit Mantel's dependence on nectar by attacking the nectar injector and extracting nectar to use on throwing knives from dead Mantel troopers and using the injector to create nectar grenades. They can also steal a Mantel trooper's gun, and bury grenades in the ground as mines.
Weapons - Haze includes weapons such as pistols, assault rifles, mini guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, laser guns, flamethrowers and rocket launchers. The game also includes knives and grenades.
