The EMP trap is a trap found in Fallout Tactics.
Description
It creates a highly concentrated and localised EMP field that does some damage to life forms but mainly to electronic circuits.
Locations
- Carried by Tais.
Notes
- As noted in the description, this trap is far more useful when used against robots than against living creatures.
- This trap can only be set on a container or door, severely limiting its usefulness.
- If used successfully to kill a loadlifter robot, it is very likely that the corpse will permenantly block the door.
- Despite being listed as "EMP Trap" this weapon doesn't do additional damage to robotic units, nor does less to non-robotic units. This is because it's damage type is "Energy" not "Electrical" (Which does do increased damage to robots, etc). The electrical damage type is extremely rare, belonging only to weapons like the Pulse Grenade.
