EMP Grenade

The EMP grenade is a grenade that appears in Resistance 3.

Campaign

It is first found in Haven's shooting range in Home. It is used for disabling Chimeran energy shields and Drones. The grenade's electro-magnetic pulses has a small chance to affect the cooling packs that are worn by Hybrids, causing them to explode and killing their users. It is also an essential weapon against Stalkers as the machine is equipped with an energy-shield which must be disabled in order to neutralize the Stalker. Due to EMP grenades being somewhat advanced, as compared to other grenades, they are much harder to find.

Strategy

• The EMP Grenade is a highly effective weapon against drones and can cause cooling apparatus on Hybrids to explode.
• The EMP Grenade can disable energy shields used by Steelheads and Ravagers.
• EMP Grenades can be rare to find in later chapters and should be conserved.
