Summarize your bug See below.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Equip the EMP grenade. At various positions, e.g. while crouched, next to a building, etc. throw the EMP grenade so that it should have a clear path to be thrown far and away from you.
What happens when the bug occurs? The EMP grenade explodes as soon as it leaves your hand.
What should be happening instead? It shouldn't explode prematurely.

The EMP grenade often times prematurely explodes, as soon as it leaves your hand. I think it depends on how close you are to a structure or how you're positioned. I don't believe that it's a gadget like Irish's shootdown sentinel somehow causing this, as it also happens against AI. This happens even when bullets aren't being fired at you, so bullets aren't causing the EMP grenade to explode prematurely.

  • I've noticed that it's actually being triggered by enemy corpses. Whenever there's a dead body on the ground, the EMP detonates prematurely and the body gets the static effect of being EMP'd.

  • @SterlingARCH3R me too. I have the red emblem. I used a lot. the grenade even explodes when touching a smoke (without the vehicle or infantry being in it. even the smoke from the smoke grenade sometimes happens) . it often explodes in my face and with a clear field of vision, no structures around and no enemy infantry! I don't know what logic they used, but they certainly didn't play this grenade. out of 10, it explodes 3 times wrong.
  • @SterlingARCH3R Please for the love of god fix the darn emp grenade. Stupid thing just blows up in your face 80% of the time. If your going to allow rangers in the game and every other payer use a turret then please fix this.
  • Seems to have gotten worse with this latest update.  It literally blew up prematurely at least 80% of the time.  I mean, it had barely left my hand and it exploded.  I'm not sure I had one go more than a few feet ever.  smh
