10 Video Game Secrets Everyone Knows Except You

By now we all know how No Man's Sky has gone above and beyond making up for its shortcomings upon release. Now we have vehicles and mounts to traverse a planet's terrain, making it much less of a slog to explore a planet.

But until you reach that point in the game, on-foot travel is still a slow and tedious chore. This goes double if you're exploring a hazardous planet. Your health is rapidly draining, you're short on shield batteries and life gel; there's a cave just ahead but you can already tell you won't make it. If only you were faster.

That's where this handy little trick comes in. By using your melee attack and then immediately following up with your jet pack, you'll boost forward at a breakneck speed. This does drain your jet pack quickly, but alternating between sprinting and the melee boost is your best bet to get anywhere fast.

Just make sure to look before you leap.
