EMP Grenade (Classic)

From Team Fortress Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The EMP Grenade is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress games. When the timer goes off, it causes the explosion of all the ammo that targets in the blast radius have in their possesion, usually causing instant death and potentially also affecting teammates within the usually sizable blast radius. It can also detonate stray Backpacks, also 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.
