When I was playing dying light with friend we discovered that every timw you go to sleep and wake up air drop will appear, if you don't know air drops are pretty rare and if you collext them and deliver to one guy you will recieve lots of xp, we used that multiple times to unlock grapling hook very early. Air drops also gave lots of medicine which was hard to get in early game and that very helped us

UT2003. Boost dodging.

In UT2003 they had double jump, so press jump, and at a certain height, jump again to go higher.

You also had walljumping/dodging, where a double tap away from a wall would, even in mid air, propel you not just away from the wall further than a 'normal' dodge, but upwards slightly too (to give you the extra lateral distance before landing)

Well, people worked out that if, while standing next to a vertical surface, did up/side/up/side in very quick (~0.5s) succession, the sideways and vertical accelerations of both moves got added together, giving you a much higher jump than possible from a double jump alone. Only rocket/shield jumping was comparable in height, and they caused self damage (or weren't available in instagib or while holding the bomb in Bombing Run)

I practiced this like nothing else. I got so good at it I could trigger the effect from vertical surfaces barely above knee height, and sometimes lower.

Was often called a cheater, but I wasn't - just very practiced at that one thing.

Edit: They took it out in UT2004, but added it back in after fan outcry as a mutator. By then though I'd fallen in love with Onslaught and it wasn't nearly as necessary or useful in that.
