The '''jump pack''' is a high-mobility propulsion unit used by the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Jumper|jump pack specialists]] of the [[Covenant]]<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Crow's Nest]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Tsavo Highway]]''</ref> and the [[Banished]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]'''</ref> | |||
The | ==Overview== | ||
The jump pack allows for accurate and precise jumps from location to location, giving the Jiralhanae the mobility and tactical flexibility that they often lack. 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 equipment 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: The Official Strategy Guide]]''', ''page ??''</ref> | |||
[[Category: | When the operator is killed, the jump pack will malfunction and rocket the corpse forwards a short distance. | ||
