An example of the kit.

The Jump Pack is a high-mobility device used by the infantryman of the Covenant [1][2].

Description

The Jump Pack allows for accurate and precise jumps from location to location, giving the Brutes the mobility and tactical flexibility that they often lack. Unlike the Antigravity Packs used by Ranger Elites, these do not provide them with a permanent airborne presence or the ability to accurately fight and hover. It 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 [3].
