| − | + | The IED EMP trap deals 50 [[EMP]] damage in a 10.9-tile radius when triggered, after a 0.25 second delay. This will stun [[mechanoid]]s and [[turret]]s for 25 seconds, and break most forms of shield. IED traps can be triggered when walked over or shot on, and create a hissing noise. Enemies will attempt to run from an activated IED trap, even if it wouldn't affect them. {{Check Tag|Verify|verify this fact}} | |

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. | Many [[mechanoid]] encampments will start dormant, including [[crashed ship parts]] and [[mech cluster]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}}.

| − | 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). | + | 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). Their large radius will often stun targets in the back, causing mechs to adapt early. |
