Movement
* When going down ladders, make sure you're facing the ladder. Otherwise, you'll fall and take damage. The easiest way to go down is to turn around an step backward. Crouching helps for ladders in tunnels. Press forward to grab onto the ladder once you start falling. As long as you reach out for it before you land, you won't take falling damage.
* You become slower (briefly) after taking damage from a fall.
* You can drown while swimming in lava, even if you're using a Lava Protection scroll.
* You can attack someone who's underwater, regardless of whether or not you're swimming yourself. This holds true even for fire-based weapons.
* When traveling around a corner, try using your sidestep key along with your forward movement key. This swings you in an arc around the corner and gives you a better view.
* If you can't fit through a window, door or crawlspace, crouch, then press jump and forward keys at the same time.
* You can jump down about 10 feet without taking damage. Anything higher will hurt you, based on the overall distance. Sometimes you can afford to take damage, sometimes you can't.
* Jumping and moving side to side can help you avoid an enemy's fire, but also reduces your own firing accuracy.
* Don't jump off of a building - you'll take additional damage for every foot you jump. You're better off walking off the edge of it. Sometimes if you fall down against a wall you can tap the crouch key and sometimes land with no damage.
* You can jump even if you're wading, or swimming in water.
* If you're moving across a wide-open area, don't just zigzag across. Try to keep any available obstacle (for instance, trees) between you and whoever might attack you.
* If you get hit in the legs, you are temporarily slowed.
* If you're running and need to look behind you, you don't have to stop running. Make a quick switch to the backward movement key, coupled with a quick 180-degree turn. Then, repeat with the forward movement key to turn back around.
