The EMP Grenade is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress games. When the timer goes off, the Grenade causes an explosion that is amplified by the amount of ammunition that players within the blast radius have in their possession. This usually causes instant death and has the potential to injure teammates that are within the sizable blast radius. The EMP Grenade can also detonate stray Backpacks, which can cause significant damage to nearby enemies depending upon how much ammo is in the Backpack. It is only used by the Engineer.

Damage

Low to instant death, depending upon how much ammo is carried by the player.
