EMP grenade (DX)

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

Background
The grenade creates a localized electromagnetic pulse that disables all electronics within its area of effect: robots, cameras, laser trip wires etc. It can also be attached to a wall, where instead of a timed fuse, it will employ its proximity trigger and detonate when a hostile passes by.

While the EMP doesn't interfere with nano-augs, it will cause a spontaneous dissipation of all stored bioelectric energy.

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.
