Upgrades all Grenadiers with EMP Grenades. Causes all mechanical units and structures in the Area of Effect to become temporarily disabled. |
EMP Grenades is an upgrade researched at the armory, available to the Global Defense Initiative and Zone Operations Command.
As the name indicates, it allows Grenadiers to use specialized EMP grenades that disable nearby electronic equipments. The only counters are Nod Master Computer Countermeasures, Steel Talons Adaptive armour or Scrin Energy field.
After being used, it takes some time to recharge before it can be deployed again.
Steel Talons
The Steel Talons do not use EMP grenades, making them the only faction in Kane's Wrath not to have native EMP weaponry. In order to improve their counter options to epic units and make them more desirable in multiplayer, the unofficial 1.02+ patch gave them this upgrade in Release 12, available at the Command post but requiring the Tech center. This variant costs $1000 and takes 45 seconds to research.
