The EMP Grenade is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress games. When the timer goes off, it causes all of the ammo that a victim holds to explode, usually causing instant death. Much to that player's dismay, the detonation of their ammo will also damage their teammates in range. It can also detonate stray Backpacks, causing significant damage to nearby enemies, depending on how much ammo is in the Backpack. It is only used by the Engineer.

Damage

Low to instant death, depending on how much ammo is held.
