Hallucinogenic grenade

From Command and Conquer Wiki

Hallucinogenic grenades are chemical grenades utilizing an unknown compound that are currently being used by Nod Confessors leading Militia squads. They can make any enemy soldier panic and hallucinate that his allies are his enemies, and they will in turn attack their former allies, or even on occasion, themselves. Even Zone Troopers are affected, which implies that the grenades are capable of either penetrating armor, or getting through any atmosphere filtration system in effect. Exact mechanisms are currently unknown.

It is speculated that these grenades might be related to the weapons utilized by toxin soldiers against civilians during the Firestorm Crisis.

Care must be taken when using them since the gas affects anyone who comes into contact with it, friend or foe. This has often led to unfortunate incidents in the past, where commanders lost control of militants with confessors who used the grenades at too close ranges and started attacking each other in panic.
