'''Bunnyhopping''' - a tactic that is invaluable in making a good run. Basically, it involves running and jumping in a zig-zag motion to achieve a speed increase. This is complicated to explain in words, and everyone has a different style of bunnyhopping. However, there is a [http://fidosrevenge.com/bhop good online tutorial]. Good bunnyhopping can result in a speed increase of 70%, although the maximum speed is capped in the latest releases of the game. But in versions 1.1.0.7 and earlier, or if you use the Bunny Mod, there is no theoretical limit to the speed you can reach.

'''Using NPCs to open doors early''' - Only works if you load the game before the loading zone that spawns the NPC (non-player character). After you pass the loading zone and the NPC appears, lead him to a door and push him against it, and he should be able to open it. This works best if the NPC is a scientist is a Barney guard, but on rare occasions an enemy might also be able to open a door.
+
'''Climbing Ladders Faster''' - Same principle as wall strafing; hold the forward key as well as a strafe key, while going up a ladder, to move 22% faster.
 
  −
'''Tau Boosting''' - The tau cannon has a powerful recoil, making its secondary function come in handy. If you charge up the tau and fire it while jumping, you will get a speed boost in the opposite direction. Additionally, if you use the Bunny Mod, you can keep the speed from a tau charge by jumping as soon as you touch the ground.
      
'''Explosion Damage Boosting''' - Works with all explosives, best done with 100 health / 0 armor. For example, take a grenade and trigger it. Crouch, then jump right before it explodes, and you will get a height boost. If you face forward, jump, crouch, and release the grenade, you will get a horizontal speed boost. The boost you receive from an explosion is directly proportional to the amount of health you lose, not the combined health/armor you lose. Since armor soaks up the force of the explosion, you should have only a small amount of armor or no armor at all. However, if you use satchel charges or tripmines you must have some armor because they are more powerful than conventional explosives.

'''Wall Strafing''' - Hold the "forward" key as well as a strafe key, while moving along a wall, to move 22% faster. Should only be used if there is not enough room to bunnyhop, or if you're going up a flight of stairs.
+
'''Snark Jumping''' - If you face a wall and release snarks underneath you, while repeatedly jumping, the snarks will try to follow you. But since you're jumping on them, you get a significant height boost. The bad news? Sometimes the snarks can get stuck in you, causing you to lose a lot of health.

'''Using Grenades to Distract Enemies''' - If you throw or shoot a grenade, 80% of the time enemies will either duck or run for cover, allowing you to run past them without getting hurt. This works even if you don't throw the grenade directly at them.
