EMP Grenade sucks too

[TheAwesomeBastard]

EMP to give this grenade a different flavor, but it takes 2-3 grenades to kill a clot. The stun it gives it kind of weak n short to match the weak damage. The zerker perk did not get much love.

EMP grenades aren't meant to kill, they are meant to stun the enemies, giving the zerkers enough window to go in and score a kill without too much risk.

EDIT:
EMP grenade shouldn't even do any damage at all realistically speaking.
Electric Magnetic Pulse. Strictly speaking, EMP grenade should only affect Husks as they have these fireball launcher mechanics, that seems to be attatched to their neuro system. Far stretch wise, could consider scrake and fleshpound.

INB4. I didn't add the edit in to bring realism to game, it was just a little 'fun fact'.

EMP grenades are for stunning Scrakes and Fleshpound. Not dealing with trash mobs.

1. Throw EMP grenade at scrake.
2. Have support start attacking him.
3. Let grenade go off, stunning.
4. Show up a second later with explosive hammer smash.
5. ????????
6. Profit

Yeah, but it doesn't have any effect on Fleshpounds - only Scrakes. Good for your AA12 Support buddies to get in a lot of damage before he attacks, also good for a safe alt fire from the Pulverizer, extending the stun period. Useful if you haven't learnt how to circle strafe yet.

I've used the emp nades effectively for release or evasion when I'm surrounded. Learn how to use the nades for your advantage.

Fleshpounds take 2 grenades to calm down.

Technically speaking an EMP, that was powerful enough to see with the naked eye, could potentially disrupt neurons. This would cause headaches and I'm pretty sure make it harder to act consiously until they stabilized.

Agree. compared to the other grenades, the EMP needs a little more love.

They should buff it's stun and remove it's DMG.

I think it's fine to have for situational purpose but I think every class should be able to pick what kind of grenades they want in their loadout to help them better define what kind of player they want to be.

EMP also "paints" enemies nicely so everyone can see them well...

No, because this is a class-based teamwork game. Not min-max to lone wolf the entire wave. Would you kindly ♥♥♥♥ off back to CoD?

In a pinch, it's an effective way to reveal stalkers. Swear the little ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ teleport while they're invisible.
