==Trivia==
*The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] uses less refined and less effective [[Thruster pack|T-PACKs]] for Zero-G movement, and [[portable jump-jet|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.

An active (right) and inactive (left) antigravity pack.

The antigravity pack is a propulsion unit used by Sangheili Rangers and the Heretics to maneuver in any conditions between zero-gravity and normal gravity. It provides excellent mobility, and in no way hinders their combat effectiveness.[1] Unlike the less sophisticated human T-PACKs, portable jump-jets or Jiralhanae jump packs which use chemical-based thrusters for propulsion, the antigravity pack uses anti-gravity technology for movement.

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 Banshee's engines, encasing the user in an anti-gravity field that keeps them suspended in the air.
