Unlike the [[antigravity pack]]s used by [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, these do not provide them with a permanent airborne presence or the ability to accurately fight and hover. Unlike the antigravity pack, the jump pack utilizes rocket thrusters for propulsion. | | The Jump Pack is a piece of equipment used by the [[Jiralhanae]] rank of [[Jump Pack Brute]]. It allows for accurate and precise jumps from location to location, giving the [[Brutes]] the mobility and tactical flexibility that they often lack.

It is designed for use on a terrestrial environment where after the initial jump they can rely on gravity to bring them back to ground, whereas in Zero-Gravity environments they would simply be blown out into space. It seems that the Jump Pack needs a few seconds to recharge or cool down after a jump, since its users wait a while before making another <ref>''[[Halo 3]], ''[[Halo 3: The Official Strategy Guide|Official Strategy Guide]]''</ref>. |
