EMP grenade (DXHR)

The Pulsar Type E Electromag Grenade, or EMP Grenade, is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. EMP grenades are throwable weapons used primarily to neutralize bots and mechanically augmented humans, similar to the previous games in the series. One EMP Grenade can eliminate an 80-X Boxguard. EMP Grenades can be combined with Mine Templates to create EMP Mines.

EMP Grenades can first be found outside the FEMA Camp, where a Motor City Bangers member will sell one EMP grenade and one Gas Grenade for 400 credits.

In-game Description
Use: Permanently disable robots and security devices. Temporarily impede augmented opponents.

Warning!: The EMP Shielding Augmentation upgrade completely negates the effect of EMP grenades.

Description: A Hand-thrown device, the Pulsar Type E Electromagnetic Grenade is a specialized anti-systems grenade, capable of generating a localized electromagnetic field pulse that renders nearby electronic circuitry inoperative. While it has no effect against organic targets, the grenade is extremely useful in disabling robots, augmented humans, security cameras, and automated defensive turrets.

Upgrades: The Pulsar Type E cannot be upgraded, but can be turned into a highly effective "EMP Mine" when combined with the Mark 87 Tactical Munition Mine Template.

Manufacturer: Steiner-Bisley GmbH.
