EMP

EMP refers to a specific damage type and to weapons that inflict that damage type. The weapons include:

• EMP grenades
• EMP launcher
• EMP shell
• IED EMP trap
• Zeushammer
• Persona zeushammer

Additionally, when destroyed the Defoiliator condition causer will release a EMP blast with a 9 tile radius.

Zeushammers do 9 EMP damage, while all other sources do 50. This shortens stun duration.

When inflicted, EMP will stun mechanoids and turrets, including both human and mechanoid variants as well as mortars, for 25s (4.5s for Zeushammers). After being stunned, mechanoids become 'Adapted' and gain immunity against further stuns for 2,200 ticks (36.67 secs). Turrets do not become adapted. It is currently unclear if zeushammers cause a shorter "adapted" time to match their shorter stun time.

EMP damage instantly disables shield belts and low-shield packs. Additionally mech low-shields and mech high-shields in Mechanoid cluster will be disabled for 1,080 ticks (18 secs) when hit with an EMP, including when intercepting an EMP mortar shell.

EMP damage inflicts brain shock on pawns with the following implants, knocking them unconcious:

• Learning assistant
• Neurocalculator
• Circadian assistant
• Circadian half-cycler

EMP damage inflicts vomiting on pawns with the following implants:

• Detoxifier stomach
• Nuclear stomach
• Reprocessor stomach

Using EMP attacks against friendlies counts as an attack, even if they aren't hurt.

If an EMP attack does more EMP damage to a mortar than the it has remaining HP, the mortar will explode.
