The '''antigravity pack''' is a propulsion unit used by [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Ranger|Rangers]] (including those in [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction]]) and [[San'Shyuum]] [[Prelate]]s to maneuver in zero-gravity environment and low-altitude flight. It provides excellent mobility, and in no way hinders their combat effectiveness.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page ??''</ref> Unlike the less sophisticated human [[thruster pack|T-PACKs]], [[Series 8 jetpack]], the Ranger's [[Covenant thruster pack|alternative thruster pack]] or [[Jiralhanae]]'s [[jump pack]] which use chemical-based thrusters for propulsion, the antigravity pack uses [[anti-gravity technology]] for movement.

The '''Antigravity Pack''' is a propulsion equipment used by [[Sangheili|Elite]] [[Sangheili Ranger|Rangers]] and the [[Heretics]] to maneuver in any conditions between zero-gravity and normal-gravity (and possibly high-gravity as well, though this has never been demonstrated). It provides excellent mobility, and in no way hinders their combat effectiveness.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'''</ref>
In combat, this piece of equipment allows Sangheili to easily dodge enemy fire and to get in close or retreat when needed. They most likely work in a similar fashion as the [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]'s engines, encasing the user in an anti-gravity field that keeps them suspended in the air.

==Trivia==
*The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] uses less refined and less effective [[Thruster pack|T-PACKs]] for Zero-G movement, and [[Jetpack|another jetpack]] for conditions in which gravity is present.
*In ''[[Halo 3]]'', the [[Jiralhanae]] use a crude version of the antigravity pack, the [[Jump Pack]], which allows them to jump long distances and slows their descent to prevent damage incurred from falling long distances. Jump Packs use jet propulsion rather than antigravity generators.
*The antigravity pack may be used in ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' by Sangheili players with the Jetpack [[Armor Abilities|Armor Ability]], however, it is not a true Anti-Pravity Pack as it uses engine thrust rather than an anti-gravity field and acts more like the Brute Jump Pack.
**This is obviously for balancing reasons as a true Anti-Gravity Pack like the ones in Halo 2 would turn a Sangheili player into a miniature [[Banshee]]
