*During the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage]], the smart-AI [[Serina]] had Sergeant [[John Forge]] use [[X23 Non-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon|the EMP weapon]] of several [[XRP12 Gremlin|Gremlins]] to attack the Forerunner pylons attempting to pull the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} into the [[shield world]] known as the [[Etran Harborage]]. As a result, the ''Spirit of Fire'' had time to effect a rescue of [[Alpha Platoon|Alpha]], [[Bravo Platoon|Bravo]] and [[Charlie Platoon]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]''</ref>
*During the [[Battle of Trove]], the smart-AI [[Serina]] had Sergeant [[John Forge]] use [[X23 Non-Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse Cannon|the EMP weapon]] of several [[XRP12 Gremlin|Gremlins]] to attack the Forerunner pylons attempting to pull the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} into the [[shield world]] known as [[Trove]].

*During the [[Battle of the Rubble]], [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Grey Team]] used a small EMP device to fry the systems on an Insurrectionist freighter called the ''[[Kestrel (freighter)|Kestrel]]''. This was to wipe its navigation database in accordance with the [[Cole Protocol]] which they were at [[the Rubble]] enforcing.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'''</ref>

*In the aftermath of [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], both [[SPARTAN-B312]] and the satellite [[Navigation Beacon RA-15]] witnessed a purple-tinted EMP cloud emanate from the wreckage of the [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' after the improvised slipspace bomb was activated. The cloud disabled all electronics within its vicinity, including the NAV Beacon.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''</ref>

*During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], [[Cortana]] diverted [[John-117]]'s [[energy shielding|energy shields]] into an EMP to disable [[Installation 04|Halo's]] [[phase pulse generator]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref>

*The [[deep-space artifact]] let out an enormous electromagnetic pulse that briefly canceled out all communications in the [[Sol system]]. It later let out another pulse upon deactivation.

*During the [[Skirmish over Threshold]], [[John-117]] used the EMP emitted by a [[Type-1 plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] to disable the electronics of a locked door on ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', which allowed him to open the door.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 89''</ref>

*The in-atmosphere jumping of the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' to [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] above [[New Mombasa]] created a massive electromagnetic pulse that damaged electrical systems in the city, and fried the navigational and safety systems of nearly five dozen [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] pods unfortunate enough to [[Operation: BUMRUSH|drop]] towards the carrier at that exact moment, plunging them and the [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s inside free-falling to near-certain death.<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''', campaign level ''[[Prepare to Drop]]''</ref>
