Pulse mine (Fallout 3)

The pulse mine consists of a proximity fuse and miniaturized EMP device enclosed in a gray metal casing screwed to the base. Armed status is indicated by four red diodes situated on top of the cover.
==Characteristics==
The pulse mine will begin beeping when a target comes within a short distance to it until it is disarmed or it detonates. The time until detonation depends on the Explosives skill of the person setting it off. Both soft and armored/robot targets will activate the fuse.
On detonation, the pulse mine creates an electromagnetic field affecting any functioning robots and turrets. The blast deals little damage to non-robot targets in proximity to the detonating device.
The pulse mine can be disarmed with a high enough Explosives skill or simply avoided with the perk Light Step.
The pulse mine will become live and likely to cause instant death after it's dropped into a non-player character's pants (inventory) via theft.
==Locations==
* Found in mine boxes.
* Talon Company mercenaries may carry some pulse mines with them.
* Enclave soldiers and officers are often supplied with one.
* They are also almost never found in the wasteland, at least armed. A single live one can be found in the National Archives Rotunda.
* Four on the shelf in the National Guard depot's armory.
* Two in the Outcast outpost's armory, available after the completion of Operation: Anchorage!
==Notes==
* Some robots hover above the ground and will not trigger pulse mines.
* Reverse pick-pocketing pulse mines and pulse grenades will kill organic opponents without the potential to hurt the player significantly.
* The EMP does no damage to power armored NPCs, even though the armor is highly mechanical and relies on a power source to function.
