Antigravity belts have limited vertical range, forcing Prophets equipped with these devices to travel in groups. When faced with the ascent to the [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner Dreadnought|Dreadnought]] in ''[[High Charity]]'', they must link arms and use the combined power of their anti-gravity belts to boost themselves up. Given the weak physiology of the San 'Shyuum race, it is unlikely that they would be able to complete this feat without the use of antigravity technology.

The antigravity belt is a personal transportation device worn by lesser Covenant Prophets. Worn around the waist of the user, they levitate the user in a manner similar to that of the anti-gravity chair or gravity throne.[1]

The San 'Shyuum use these devices to avoid walking, as they are a fairly feeble race. The levitation produced by the antigravity belt allows the San 'Shyuum to loom over otherwise taller races such as the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae. This artificial physical power is symbolic of the political and religious power wielded by the Prophets within the Covenant.

While nearly all mature San 'Shyuum use anti-gravity chairs as their primary form of transport,[2] antigravity belts are occasionally worn by some Lesser Prophets. However, their use appears to be relatively rare; they may be a secondary system limited to occasions when an anti-gravity chair is not available.
