An Elite Ranger wearing an Antigravity pack.
The Antigravity Pack is a propulsion equipment used by Sangheili 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.[1]
This 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.
Trivia
- The UNSC uses less refined and less effective T-PACKs for Zero-G movement, and another jetpack for conditions in which gravity is present. (It is also possible that these two devices are one and the same, or are at least modified versions of each other.)
- 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 makes another appearance as an equipment that provides one of the six known Armor Abilities in Halo: Reach.[2]
