Electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMPs) create a rapid powerful fluctuating magnetic field than induces electrical currents in conductive elements of targets in an area. This can disrupt or damage electrical systems. Such weapons are trivial to shield against, as any conductive shell or coating (also known as a Faraday cage) will protect internal elements, so long as no electrical path is created to breach the shell. Once such protective is significantly breached, however, a modern EMP weapon is typically capable of causing damage to most devices. Unprotected Glitch may be affected briefly depending on their particular build, and androids and robots may be stunned.
Two common EMP weapons are EMP grenades and EMP sappers.
