Gravity Coil is a gear that was published in the Marketplace by Roblox on October 8, 2009, and can be purchased for 250 Robux. As of April 28, 2024, it has been favorited 108.6k times.
Appearance[]
It is a light blue spring coil with a steel-type texture.
Function[]
Upon being equipped in-game, a significant value of the user's weight (75%) is decreased, which in effect lessens gravity, thus enabling the user to jump at a much higher height. If the player is equipping the Gravity Coil, then it can cancel out most of gravity's effect on their character. This allows the player to jump higher, or to fall down slower.
The Gravity Coil is also highly valued mostly in many survival games in which a player needs to reach a higher place to escape disasters such as floods, lava, zombies, acid, etc. It is even found in some survival games (i.e. Survive the Disasters! by V_yriss). It is also found in Group rooms or VIP rooms of minigames games. Many players have created modified versions of gravity coils for their own games, which can include a more significant weight cancellation than the regular Gravity Coil. Recently the gravity coil has been severely nerfed across most platforms in an effort to fix the "unfairness of retro."

Trivia[]
This section is a trivia section. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections of the article.
- Roblox ran an advertisement for this item, which featured a player using the gear over a city, along with a text saying "Gravity Coil: Jump high. Really high. 250 Robux NOT in Tix".[1]
- It resembles the Pikmin ship part Gravity Jumper in both name and design; both objects are blue springs and have the word "Gravity" as the first word in the name, so it is possible that the Gravity Coil is a reference to Pikmin.
- When the player equips this gear, a cartoon "boing" sound with echo can be heard.
