A little trick to regenerate some health when playing with the dead ringer on a map with water in it. Reminded me of mario64 where you can do basically the same thing Just jump in with the DR equipped, then stay in until you start to lose health, get out when your cloak is used up. You will have lost very little hp because of the damage reduction, but you will regain as much hp as you would've lost without damage reduction. Nothing too interesting, but still funny imo.
