Break the beam
Small pieces of hard cover erase its sustained-DPS advantage. Fight in short peeks rather than continuous exposure.
Track cleanly. Keep them in the beam.
The Lightning Gun applies eight damage every 50 milliseconds along a continuous, finite-range trace. Its high sustained output only exists while the crosshair stays attached, making smooth tracking and movement synchronization more important than isolated flicks.

Match the target's lateral rhythm with your own movement. This reduces the amount of mouse correction needed to hold the beam.
Continuous knockback can suspend an airborne opponent. Keep the beam slightly under center mass to delay their landing.
Begin firing as the target clears cover. The instant trace converts every early millisecond into real damage.
Small pieces of hard cover erase its sustained-DPS advantage. Fight in short peeks rather than continuous exposure.
Railgun and Machinegun remain useful beyond the finite beam. Back into open distance before taking the duel.
