=== General Tricks ===
'''Sword Flying'''
Due to a glitch in Bungie's programming, it is possible to use the sword to cover large distances rapidly. Take a weapon whose reticle becomes red when hovering over a distant enemy with the sword as your secondary weapon. By switching to it and pressing R at moment before the sword has been drawn, you will lunge at the enemy despite its distance. The reticle changes from the previous weapon, such as a rocket launcher, to the sword's before the sword is drawn while leaving the reticle red.
'''Grenade/Rocket jumping'''
Simply throw a grenade on the ground, stand over it, and jump when it explodes and it will propel you higher than a normal jump. Very useful for getting to high places. Rocket jumping works the same way and gets you higher than just a grenade, but you need to put more distance between you and the explosion (by jumping off a small ledge or something) because it does more damage.
'''Skulls'''
Placed in each level as Easter eggs, each skull when picked up changes the dynamics of the game in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. While activating skulls before beginning a run is considered cheating, picking it up during a run can sometimes be desirable and helpful. Each skull is found at a different location and is described underneath its level.
