2. EMP Grenades Can Stop Other Player's Deployed Skills
Since the Dark Zone is eventually going to be where players spend most of their time, it's important to make sure you're not just going in there as cannon fodder for better-equipped players. Your skills may get you out of trouble against Rikers and Cleaners, but in the DZ, you're not the only one who can use them. It's worth knowing, then, that there is an item available that will limit an enemy's use of their skills for a brief time. Throwing EMP grenades disrupts their technology, meaning that they won't be able to employ healing tactics or deploy bombs for a few seconds. This element is actually explained by the game, but there's another benefit that isn't. While EMP grenades will prevent an enemy's skill use for a few seconds, they will also destroy any items deployed by skills within their radius. That means you can easily disarm a pesky turret with ease, or even stop a seeker mine from tracking you down before it gets too close.
