Ever wanted to vaporize a guard by falling on him? This trick lets you instantly knock a guard nearly out of existence by getting next to him and lying down, leaving no trace of the body.
This can be done with any soldier you encounter. Simply approach the guard while in a standing or crouching pose, get extremely close, and then press Ctrl to go prone. If you did it right, the guard will disappear in a single frame with a loud crashing sound. This sometimes also works by starting in the prone position and standing up.
I believe this happens because of Amber's collision box: When standing up or crouching, her hitbox is much differently shaped than when she's prone, particularly it's flatter and pushes out horizontally. Shifting from a narrow cube to a flattened rectangle poses complex physics calculations for anything caught in the transition between.
It's difficult to tell exactly what happens, but I believe it displaces the soldier upward to make room for the prone collision box at an extremely high velocity, which launches them into the stratosphere. Alternatively, it could potentially push them through the floor or into a wall based off unpredictable physics. (If you would like to see these collision boxes, press tilde [`] to open the console and type "show collision".)
This probably isn't extremely valuable, but it could be quite useful in a number of circumstances.
1) It's done within the same range as the standard combat takedown (CQC),
2) it's faster than the combat takedown, and
3) it typically immediately disposes of the body.
Nonetheless, it sometimes triggers guards because it's noisy. Additionally, the guard isn't always vaporized, he'll sometimes just be pushed into a wall and capable of spotting you because of some unfortunate vision issues. It's quite easy to perform and sometimes you'll do it by accident even just standing up next to a guard.
It's worth noting that I've gotten Amber caught in a animation loop where she switches constantly between standing and crouching position. This has similar effects to standing-to-prone method, but I haven't found it possible to do consistently without the animation glitch from standing-to-crouching.
These clips were recorded in Prototype 0.6.7.
Despite the video, I actually enjoy this game a lot even in this pretty glitchy state, and I'd 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.

![Camera Focus Error [glitch] - Zack Zero](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9S6dvYC4rkI/mqdefault.jpg "Camera Focus Error [glitch] - Zack Zero
This fight with Silobnic tries to lock you in with an invisible wall, but its easily bypassed, resulting in this bizarre camera glitch.
On level eight (Caught in a Web), work you way to the very end of the stage and trigger the boss fight against Silobnic, the giant mechanical spider. Then, head backward towards the overhand at the entrance of the arena and leap up to the highest platform. Run off the edge, double jump, and surf over the pillar of green fire. Despite being designed to block you from escaping, the pillar isnt tall enough to stop you. Once youre over it, you can continue backwards through the level, but the camera will pivot based on the boss arena, leading to a wildly wrong angle.
Its also incredibly easy to jump over the invisible wall using the Infinite Jump.

Obviously, the collision box on the pillar of green smoke wasnt as tall as it needed to be. This wouldve easily been found in normal circumstances, but I think this game suffered from a lack of QA testers. Regardless, I thought this was amusing enough to share on its own, though it serves no practical purpose.
