"The EMP grenade creates a localized pulse that will temporarily disable all electronics within its area of effect, including cameras and security grids."

- description of Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Grenade

This Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Grenade is a demolition skill weapon in Deus Ex.

Background
"While nanotech augmentations are largely unaffected by EMP, experiments have shown that it WILL cause the spontaneous dissipation of stored bioelectric energy."

- Jaime Reyes

Used in 2052.

By 2072 it gets succeeded by a newer model EMP grenade.

Game unit
EMP Grenades are formally introduced by Anna Navarre at Battery Park after the player locates the Ambrosia container. Depending on the response, the player will receive either one or two grenades (Anna dislikes the "nerves of steel" comment).

The EMP grenade has a few major uses:
 * It can permanently disable security robots in a patrol route, when you otherwise want to use explosives for other uses.
 * It can temporarily disable the red and blue security beams.
 * It can non-destructively push other AI characters away.
