'''Haze''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She works as a secret agent in the Sandman Division of [[OSIC]], fighting as a devastating assassin character who excels in '''[[Haze#Fixation|Fixating]]''' on foes that are out of position and swiftly ending them. Her '''[[Haze#Smoke Bomb|Smoke Bomb]]''' lets her sneak up on enemies before knocking them out with a '''[[Haze#Sleep Dagger|Sleep Dagger]]''' and unleashing a hail of gunfire at close range. In desperate situations, Haze can enter her '''[[Haze#Bullet Dance|Bullet Dance]]''' to avoid return fire while dispatching her remaining targets.

In her position at the Occult Security and Investigation Commission, Haze is regularly tasked with infiltrating the dreams of "Persons of Interest" to determine the threat they pose to the [[United States of America]]. If needed, she will be called upon to terminate those targets that are deemed too dangerous to be left alive.
'''Haze''' is a playable hero in ''[[Deadlock]]'', available since the start of the [[Early Development Build]].

* Haze has a model in the files named '''"Haze_v2,"''' which includes blue skin and a red beret. Its textures refer to her as '''"fr_haze"'''.
* Haze's current model is temporary and is linked to when the game was still called ''Neon Prime.''
* Haze's voice actress is currently unknown. Developer [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]] said that she is voiced by a prolific performer,<ref>2025-12-18 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; [https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825 Deadlock Discord] - ''"[Haze] is not a yamato or doorman situation - she's prolific enough that she is guessable"''</ref> and debunked popular fan guesses of Eve Lindley<ref>2024-11-17 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; [https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825 Deadlock Discord] - ''"Neither Troy [Baker] nor Eve Lindley are haze or shiv"''</ref> and Meli Grant.<ref>2026-01-22 - [[Kaori (developer)|Kaori]]; [https://discord.com/channels/1231286446472691825 Deadlock Discord] - ''"its not [Meli Grant]"''</ref>
* Haze weapon is called "Censure & Penance".
* ''[[Neon Prime]]'' "Haze v1" was first leaked within ''[[wikipedia:Dota_2|Dota 2]]'' files in [https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-Dota2/blob/master/game/core/tools/images/model_editor/clothchain_extrude_twist.png October 29th 2020 update]. The png is named "clothchain_extrude_twist"
* The artwork previously used as the game's Steam cover and loading screen showed a slightly older version of Haze wearing a yellow jacket instead of orange.
* "Sleep Walking in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Haze in the [[Hideout]].
* The [[OSIC]] Sandman Division is named after the [[wikipedia:Sandman|Sandman]], a mythical creature in Germanic and Scandinavian folklore that brings dreams to sleeping children by sprinkling sand in their eyes.
