The silent Quad |

| Have you ever gone to hunt down your opponent, and as you round the corner, he gibs you with a Quad rocket and you think to yourself: "But I didn't hear him get the Quad!" Well he just done and got you with the silent Quad trick. To execute this trick, you basically exploit a bug in the Quake sound code where the "ugh" sound made by falling is played on the same channel as the Quad pickup sound, thereby overriding the Quad sound. This only gets rid of the pick-up sound though, NOT the Quad sound made by firing! Basically, all you have to do is get the Quad by doing a rocket jump to Quad. As you are falling down, just make sure that you are coming down right on top of the Quad, and that's it. This can also be done, as shown in the second picture, by riding the RJ all the way to the funny ledge thingy next to the Quad, and falling down on top of it. This second method isn't quite as silent as the first method though, since your downward velocity is less and the time between touching the Quad and the floor is greater. Your foe will be completely unaware that you have the Quad until he sees your glow, or you make your first shot.

The silent Mega-Health |

| Just like the DM4 silent Mega-Health, exploit a Quake sound bug to make the Mega-Health pickup silent. This is the MH in the top room with the GL, btw. Easy stuff. Just grab the stuff starting from the ammo and going to the GL, in one quick run, and the MH pickup sound will be overridden by the ammo pickup sound.
