EMP Grenade (Classic)
The EMP Grenade is a secondary grenade for the Engineer in the Team Fortress classic series of games.
The EMP Grenade detonates any ammunition carried on enemy players and buildings, Backpacks, pipebombs, or other grenades and sets enemy detpack timers to '1' in a cubical blast radius around it, including through walls, although dealing no damage of its own. This usually causes instant death when used on heavier opponents such as Soldiers.
