Oxygenator gets really wacky when you realize how fast you get to slide, when timed correctly you are able to basically "butt slide" as long as you have stamina. To slide, all you need is: stamina and to be sprinting, the speed doesnt matter all you need to be is sprinting and crouching.

This is what butt sliding looks like, when timed correctly you are able to slide again without going into the standard sprint animation; cutting out the running animation and going into the sliding

Now, this can also be applied backwards,

I personally find it easier to get a smoother butt slide backwards because the timing is more easily telegraphed: As soon as I see the bobbing head slow a little, continue sliding.

Now this backwards slide can be useful at some points, with the near instant acceleration you get; you are able to slide away from patrols without being detected. (Results may vary, please consult the terrain for effectiveness)

Who needs Reduced Signature when you can butt slide away from patrols?

Now you are also able to slide backwards and shoot, however this is more effective with shotguns and less effective with automatics.

Now you too can retreat quickly AND shoot the enemies behind you!!

So here is a small snippet of sliding away from danger in real combat scenarios

Note: This was taken before I practiced more thoroughly in the above videos.

Now, is this effective? It can be debated, I see some utility to quick slide and butt slide. But is it fun? ABSOLUTELY. Just look at how goofy this is, being able to do stuff like this; and that's what makes it good for me.
