Holocards are a useful triage tool for doctors and medics. Ensure you assign them (examine the marine with shift-click and select an appropriate holocard) to marines who have taken damage that cannot be healed without surgery. (Hint : major organ damage or larval infection = red card!)
Escape pods are designed for only three occupants - more than that, or if a larger xenomorph is in the pod, and it will malfunction and blow up on launch.

To talk on multiple radio channels at once, put a COMMA [,] before your message and add up to four prefixes. E.g, ,abcd talks on all squad channels at once.

Try not to get too mad about dying. We’re all here to have fun.
After dying, ask yourself what you did wrong and make a mental note to not make the same mistake again.
Communication, be it from a marine to a marine, a drone to the queen, or command to everyone, is vital and information on flanks can change how the entire round plays out.
As an alien or marine, be careful of the flank, regardless of if the push is going well or stalling out.
Half of getting good is knowing to be aggressive. The other half is knowing when not to be aggressive.
Alt-click a storage item to draw the last item in it (last non-weapon if it's a weapon belt). Middle-click a storage item to inmediately open it, and middle-click structures to attempt to vault them.

Use "North, South, West, East" when referring to locations in-game rather than "up, down, left, right".
You shouldn't ignore what your allies are up to. Sometimes they can be organizing a flank in hivemind/radio, sometimes they can be walking up behind you with a slug-loaded shotgun. Either way, it pays to be alert to what they're doing, as much to as what the enemies are.
The Wiki (https://cm-ss13.com/wiki) is a very useful repository of information about the game, such as weapons, equipment, xenomorph castes and their strains. It may not be fully up to date the majority of the time, but the basics are usually accurate.

Don't underestimate survivors. They have no armor but that makes them very fast, they're inherently hardier than marines and have various tricks up their sleeves.
While the Queen is de-ovied, the hive does not gain evolution points.
Try out new castes or strains that you might have passed up initially. You might find them to be surprisingly fun.

On help intent, click a xenomorph who is on fire to pat them out. This works on marines too!
Frenzy increases your speed and damage, Recovery increases your health regeneration, and Warding increases the time you have until you bleed out in critical health.
Remember that, as a Xenomorph, you can fully disable your night-vision. This helps put into perspective how hidden your position is to marines onscreen.

Claymores have directional explosions. Set them off early by slashing them from behind.
If you have difficulty clicking marines, try using Directional Slashing, though there's no directional slashing for abilities.
You can diagonally pounce through the corners of fire as a Lurker or Runner without getting ignited.
When playing as xeno, consider aiming at the limbs instead of the chest. Marine armour doesn't protect the arms and legs as well as it does the body.
As xeno, you can break Night-Vision goggles that some marines wear on their helmets. Just aim for the head and slash until the goggles shatter.

Pounces are ineffective on marines who are laying down.
You may rest inmediately during a pounce to pounce straight through mobs. It's not very practical or useful though.
Pouncing someone who is buckled to a chair will still stun them, but you won't jump into their tile and they will not be knocked to the grund.
Starshell dust from said grenades is just as meltable as normal flares.
You can join the hive as a living facehugger by clicking on the hive's eggmorpher. This works on other hives too..
Playable facehuggers can leap onto targets with a one-second windup, but this will only infect them if they are adjacent to it. Otherwise, it will simply knock them down for a small duration.
As a facehugger, you cannot talk in hivemind, but you can still open Hive Status and overwatch your sisters. This can be useful if you're locating other facehuggers, flanker castes, or trying to learn from experienced facehugger players.

Shift-clicking the Queen indicator will tell you what area you are in, on the map.
Resisting on a water tile will inmediately put out fires. Make sure you're alone though - It's usually better to let a friendly Xenomorph pat you out than it is to expose yourself to open water.
