The '''IED EMP trap''' is a landmine that explodes into a wide [[EMP]] blast when triggered, stunning mechanoids and breaking [[shield belt|shields]].
+
The '''IED EMP trap''' explodes in a 10.9-tile radius 0.25 seconds after an enemy had walked over it, dealing [[EMP]] damage that stuns mechanoids and downs [[shield belt|shields]].
  
== Acquisition ==
+
When tripped, it will start emitting a hissing sound hinting enemies to run away. This delay is rather insignificant, due to its large blast radius meaning that running away is next to impossible. It doesn't quite matter to anyone who isn't a mechanoid or wearing a shield belt, however.
IED EMP traps can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
 
  
== Summary ==

==Version history==
{{IED Note}}
 
 
 
When triggered, the trap will begin to spark and emit a hissing sound for {{ticks|15}} before exploding, dealing 50 [[EMP]] damage in a 10.9-tile radius. This will stun [[mechanoid]]s and [[turret]]s for 25 seconds, break or temporarily disable [[shield]]s, and inflict [[brain shock]] or [[vomiting]] on pawns with certain implants. For a full list of effects, see [[EMP]].
 
 
 
Non-drafted pawns will attempt to run from an activated IED trap, even if it wouldn't affect them.{{Check Tag|Verify|verify this fact}}
 
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
{{Stub|section=1|reason=General use, value prop, strats etc.}}
 
Many [[mechanoid]] encampments will start dormant, including [[crashed ship parts]] and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}. These mechanoids won't wake up until something is built within a 2-tile radius of any mechanoid (unless there is a [[proximity activator]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}). Therefore, you can place EMP traps instead of launching them from a mortar; traps can be planted precisely, and have a larger blast radius.
 
 
 
EMP traps are too niche to be placed where regular raiders will walk through. Either build them as mechanoids are arriving, or place traps to be shot at (rather than walked on). Either way, the large blast radius will often stun mechs from far away, causing them to adapt before colonists can attack.
 
 
 
== Version history ==
 
 
[[Version/1.1.0|1.1.0]] - IEDs explode when bullets hit them. This allows the player to purposefully shoot them to set them off.
