EMP Mines
So.. what exactly are EMP mines good for if they can't be used against the Alien, humans or working joes...?

They do work against Working Joes, just not the ones in suits. It just doesn't kill them. You still have to beat them to death.

I threw 2 at the ones with suits and did absolutely nothing.

Lol. He said it doesn't kill them right after he said they do work against them. Your comprehension needs work apparently.

That part was fairly clear, but I understand that the following bit may have confused. I'll make it clearer.

Normal Working Joes can be affected by the EMP mine, then you beat them to death.

Hazmat Working Joes are immune to the EMP, stun baton, and are significantly tougher. Those you just burn or shoot to death.

normal working joes are affected by emps / eletric rod, the industrial joes are heavies and are not affected by emps

No worries, thank you for the clarification. Yeah, I realized they were tougher. However, they are considerably slower which is nice.

How would an EMP mine affect humans or the Xenomorph? It is an Electro-Magnetic Pulse, affecting things that are electric. The only enemies that are electric are the Joes. Normal Joes are affected by the EMP, it shuts them down for a while so you have time to beat them to death or shoot them, protected Joes in Apollo and the Reactor Core aren't affected by the EMP as they are built to withstand things like that.

Yeah I did not know the ones in hazmat suits were unaffected by the mines is all.

It's a nasty shock, that.

EMPs can be used as noisemakers as well, useful late in the game in M17 if you still have spares.

I despised that mission so much. Lol
