Gameplay tips
Use M2 (Shred) constantly rather than M1: you clear obstacles sooner, slow down less and give up less distance; spam it at windows, pallets and in the open.
Don't waste time placing portals (they're the weakest part of the power): set one or two central ones to funnel survivors towards the edge of the map.
Use M2 from height to travel: you cover far more ground and move faster than walking.
