Bad will when EMP hits friendly human fighters. WAD?

[asanbr]

So I noticed this twice now. During a mech fight I made an effort to not hit them, but they go hostile when my EMP grenade hits them. Does the EMP even do anything to humans? I thought it only hurt mechs and thus would be safe  in the messy close combat.

The only thing it does is break personal shields, so it does seem strange that it would draw aggro by itself.

It also triggers smokepop belts, but yes it's otherwise harmless.

Yeah, I got this bad will message once and like "Say what!?  " too.

I call for a friendly from tribal ally to get the mechanoid in the ship part for me. The plan is bombard EMP mortar to them to stun lock those pesky mech in place to make our buddy a safe fight. The plan went really well, all mech stun, and I got a bad will for emp those tribal pawn ally.

Well...if the electrify from EMP broke their pacemaker or burn their joywire brain is something else, right? Even if it broke their shield, I'm still OK for them to angry at me. That's the reason I choose the tribal to avoid that situation because they shouldn't have any electric device to burn.

Commander : If it come to this. Begin the plan B
Pawn : What's the plan B, sir?
Commander : Bury them all.
