Electric Grenades function as a stun device. It has a stun gun-like area-of-effect. When fully upgraded, the grenade sticks to whatever surface they strike. These grenades are utilized most effectively when surrounded, as their detonation stuns all types of enemies, including Brutes. The stun effect lasts for 5 seconds.
Electric Grenades disable NPC vehicles, similar to an electromagnetic pulse, although they only shut off the lights of the player's vehicle, and disabled NPC vehicles can still be stolen normally, which makes this an effective method to force NPC vehicles to stop.
NPCs do not use Electric Grenades, although Deckers occasionally may drop some.
