- Intro Mission Access Key "Skip"
You can press the hack button during the cutscene fade and open the door without needing to get the access key. You do need to get it still, but it can be done while going up the stairs

- Faster Hacking Puzzle in R&R
Skips a cycle. Just have to be aware that drone can lock onto random npcs instead of nodes.
