Appears to reduce a robot's HP by half. Satan's and mine results strongly support this. --ζειαηđδηǐ (τ|ϛ) 20:49, 4 March 2008 (MST)

That's what my, anecdotal, evidence suggests, too. Cristiona

Yeah, it's definitely minus half current hp. - Satan

You may want to note that there is a limit of 3 uses per day.......--Vince3 16:39, 4 April 2008 (MST)

I figured since it says that in the beginning of the description, we didn't need to put it. - Satan


I'm getting -40% of current robot hp (rounded up), not -50%. Am I using the EMP device incorrectly? This is in City of Lost Robots. Got nothing at all in the Renegade Robot Hive. --Tycho Everett 11:27, 10 July 2008 (MST)

Vs ScarStream: EMP => 82 dmg, then 33 dmg, then 13 dmg, leaves mob with 21-40 hp remaining. --Tycho Everett 11:45, 10 July 2008 (MST)

Simple math, it does 60%. Say monster has X HP and it does a proportion A damage. We have X*A=82, (1-A)*X*A=33. Solving we get X=136, a=0.6. And indeed after doing 0.6*136=82, left with 54*.6=33,left with 21*.6=13.

Just to make sure I tested again and got vs ScarStream 222, 89. Same math, A=0.6, X=370. --Muhandes 11:55, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Uniqueness

Can you get this more than once(say once per run), and if so, does this mean more than 3 uses per day? Edivad 06:45, 22 December 2010 (PST)

  • Yes and No, respectively. I'll clarify on the page itself as well. --Muhandes 04:59, 23 December 2010 (PST)
