| | To '''Avoid fall damage''', play on any level in [[Halo: Combat Evolved|Halo: CE]]. You can jump off a large cliff and land on a steep slanted surface; one that you wouldn't be able to stand on if you were down there. The reason for this is that there is no friction on those surfaces. If you do it right you will not get hurt. Usually it works best if it is a steep slanted rock, or a [[Wraith]]. Although, if it is too far you will die. A good example of this is when you are on a bridge. |

| A '''fall damage reduction''' is any event in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' or ''[[Halo 2]]'' where players can survive fall damage that would normally kill them.
| | An example of the Wraith is: on the level [[Halo (Level)| Halo]] when [[Cortana]] says to go to the third level, you can jump down and land on the front of the Wraith and you will not take damage. This can be used to shortcut some levels. During the level [[Two Betrayals (Level)| Two Betrayals]] when you are going down to get the [[Banshee]], you can slide down the slanted portion of the walls and effectively skip the walk down. |

| == Steep Landing Method ==
| | Another example is on the level [[Keyes (Level)| Keyes]] when you are on the third floor and have to get to the Banshee, jump down onto the second floor, kill the [[Elites (Sangheili)| Elite]] in the [[Shade]] and try to jump onto the Banshee to avoid fall damage, avoiding all the [[Flood]]/[[Covenant]] the long way offers. If you get into the Banshee immediately, you will skip to a cutscene and avoid fighting the two Elites there. |
| In any ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' [[campaign]] level, it is possible to survive fall damage when jumping from great heights. A player must simply jump from a high ledge or cliff and land on a steep, slanted surface—one that they would not be able to stand on normally. There is no friction on such surfaces, which is why players can survive such landings. The trick works best when landing on a steep, slanted rock, or on a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]]. However, the trick has its limits; when performed from too high, the player will automatically die, and it will not work.

|
| In the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level [[Two Betrayals]], the trick can be used as a shortcut; when going to retrieve the [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshee]] at the beginning of the level, players can slide down the slanted portions of the walls of the control room and effectively skip the walk down.
| | An additional way to avoid fall damage, specific to the Halo 2, is to corner ride. A technique developed by the Halo glitching community whereby the player repeatedly motions back and forth over a 90 degree vertical angle. This periodically 'tricks' the game into believing the fall timer has been reset, preventing death. |

| == Vehicle Entry Method ==
| | [[Category:Tricks and Cheats]] |
| In the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' level [[Keyes]], there is a part where the player is on the third floor of a structure, and must retrieve and enter a Banshee. The player can jump down to the second floor, kill the [[Sangheili|Elite]] manning the [[Shade]], and jump down onto the Banshee. If the player enters the Banshee right as they land on top of it, they can survive some fall damage that would otherwise kill them, while at the same time avoiding a large number of [[The Flood|Flood]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces.

| {{Main|Corner riding}}
| |
| Corner riding is a ''Halo 2''-specific technique developed by the ''Halo'' glitching community. To corner ride, a player must repeatedly move back and forth over a 90-degree vertical angle. This periodically "tricks" the game into believing the fall timer has been reset, preventing death.

| | |
| == Crouching ==
| |
| Probably the trickiest way to avoid fall damage is crouching. If a player manages to crouch just before impact with the ground, their shields will take little or no damage at all. Such a technique requires large amounts of practice, however, as the timing is very tricky and failure to time the action properly can result in death. Imperfect timing can still lead to survival, albeit with lowered or drained shields; however, horrible timing can in some cases ''increase'' the fall damage that the player sustains. Ironically, this method is actually very similar to what the [[John-117|Master Chief]] does in the cutscene after he [[prophet of Regret|kills the Prophet of Regret]].
