This trick is kind of hard to understand unless you remember this part of the game well, but once you get to the end of the Gomorrah plot, you're told to go into this room where Big Sal and Nero will interrogate you with Cachino. Generally, as soon as you pass through the doorway, it will lock the door behind you and prevent you from leaving until the scene is over, but by talking to Cachino and quickly jumping inside, you're allowed to wander the room and have normal conversations. By talking with Cachino, you somehow temporarily stop the trigger for the brief time it takes to run over it.
I think this may be an error you can perform in many different sections to skip triggers, since the only real trick here is talking to an NPC before crossing over. That said, I have no idea where skipping a trigger could be beneficial, or even if those places would have the right NPCs available to pull off this trick.

You can do a whole bunch of different things in the middle of a CQC takedown, including repositioning, firing, and reloading. This is also a good way to trigger the Floor Assassin glitch:

After activating the takedown animation, you can perform a combat roll to slip past the guard and finish up the kill from a distance. This lets you move behind an obstacle or push Amber further forward. Additionally, if youre holding a semi-automatic weapon like the assault rifle or the SMG, its possible to fire before the takedown and continue holding it through the rest of attack, letting you shoot other guards at the same time. And lastly, you can reload just before CQC to trigger a funny looking death.
Obviously, the problem is that the player states werent locked off and disabled between actions. Rolling is a pretty clear case of accidentally leaving it in the players moveset during specific moves. While firing your gun is normally impossible during CQC, theres nothing telling the game to stop firing if the player was already doing it. Similarly, reloading is queued before the melee attack but not interrupted.
I imagine this could have some use in some very scripted situations, though reloading and rolling are the only quiet actions. Firing your assault rifle isnt going to be useful unless you have a very clear path and predictable circumstance. Given that the guards spawn at the entrance and/or exit of every map, that might be tough to determine.
Also note that diving and then performing the takedown allows you to very easily slip into the Floor Assassin state, meaning that you have a faster way of getting there than crouching and going prone repeatedly.
Despite the video, I actually enjoy this game a lot even in this pretty glitchy state, and Id love to see it finished. If it looks interesting to you, be sure to check out the Kickstarter or download the demo on Steam and try it yourself.
