Free Radical have recently updated their blog over on IGN, deciding to enlighten us to some of the weapons available in the upcoming, hotly-anticipated shooter Haze. Since there's a lot to say about each weapon, we're going to give you the shorthand version here and leave it up to you to research further.
* Diplomat pistol -- standard Mantel weaponry, seems most useful in short-range situations.
* Blacksaw assault rifle -- depleted uranium are the bullets, pain is the result. Also available: silenced version.
* Donkey Puncher shotgun -- " ... this high-end shotgun is more than enough to kick any ass presented to you." Enough said.
* Hard Candy rocket launcher -- apparently makes Sloppy Joes out of the enemy.
* Pinpointer sniper rifle -- it's a sniper rifle. Need we say more?
* Heavy Gun -- uh, we're not sure, but it sounds extremely useful. Seems to be a stationary weapon of mass destruction.
* Razor Tongue knife -- standard Promise Hand melee weapon. You can smear it with Nectar, which causes Mantel soldiers to overdose on Nectar if you slice 'em. Nice way to make a knife useful without being ridiculously overpowered (Warhawk).
* Lobo -- the assault rifle of choice for Promise Hand soldiers.
* Oso -- shotgun! Notice the trend of Spanish names for Promise Hand weaponry.
* Mano del Dios -- the "Hand of God" is essentially a minigun you really don't want to see from the wrong end.
* Dragon de la Gente -- take a guess! It's a flamethrower for the people, by the people.
There are more sniper rifles and grenades to be had, but we think you get the point. All of these weapons are, admittedly, standard FPS necessities, but we can't believe this is all there will be offered. Maybe it is. But if not, we're sure there will be quite a few interesting ways to lace Nectar into more weaponry. We're excited for this one to come out, so we'll wait for November with bated breath.
