The [[Covenant]] use a type of '''rope''' to rapidly descend from high places. These tethers are described as "slithering, plasticine ropes which glow ghostly blue".

The '''Energy Tether''' is a device used by [[Covenant]] soldiers to rapidly descend from high places. They work similar to grappelling rope, but are made of pure energy. It is unclear how the ropes are kept together or how they are powered, but they appear to work just as well as normal rope without causing rope-burn. It is most likely held together by the same force that holds an [[Energy Sword]] together. Alternatively, the Energy Tether may be similar to a small but extremely powerful [[Gravity Lift]]. The most common usage of these ropes is by [[Elites]] and [[Jackals]].

The Covenant use a type of rope to rapidly descend from high places. These tethers are described as "slithering, plasticine ropes which glow ghostly blue".
