Laika Tip 1: Alright. Laika has the laser! Oh, heck no! Here's my favorite strat against Laika: If there is a long stretch of space anywhere (narrow corridor or large expanse), when Laika is at one end of the long stretch, go to the other side and get next to the wall. Laika will start to aim at the wall. Go off to the side a little bit, so that if Laika fires, you will be off in the distance next to the wall just next to the laser. This will cause her to kill herself. Make sure you are as far away from Laika as possible though! Too close and this trick won't work. Now, if you can't find a long stretch like this, you can still attempt to find a probable angle Laika will shoot at and just sit to the side of the line of fire to get her to use the laser, but it's risky. It's better to shoot bullets at her and run away.
Laika Tip 2: If Laika is in a narrow corridor, there are two very easy ways of getting her, and they work a lotta the time. 1) Shoot straight down the middle. She'll try to go off to the side to get away, but then she keeps bumping into that wall. 2) Shoot a bullet at a tiny angle... like in the above graphic. She will try to dodge... and she will fail.
Laika Tip 3: How to get the "Do You Feel Lucky, Punk?" achievement: You have to kill Laika when she's outta bullets. She can only shoot 5 bullets. After they disappear, she can shoot more, though. This is easiest in open mazes. Just get closer to her and get her to shoot all her bullets. Then chase her like a shark and shoot her tail or just shoot a spread of bullets. Or both if you like.
Laika Tip 4: How to get the "Never Saw It Coming" achievement: You have to kill Laika by shooting her with the laser directly. This means the laser cannot bounce even once.
Laika Tip 5: If you get a good opportunity to do it, try quickly moving past Laika. When you do this, it is very likely that she will fire at you. As long as you keep on moving, she will not hit you, but with a bit of luck she could kill herself.

It should be noted that you really oughta keep a minimum distance between you and Laika while attempting this.

Laika Tip 6: Laika cannot shoot and dodge and the same time. If you fire a caterpillar at her (reserve at least one bullet), she may stay there and turn to dodge the bullets. Make sure the bullets in your caterpillar are close together, or she might move. As you are firing your caterpillar, move towards Laika (be careful not to shoot yourself) and you will be able to get right up to her and shoot her.
Laika Tip 7: If you have the laser but are unsure about your ability to kill her with it at the given moment, flash the laser in her direction to get her to retreat until you've got her.
Laika Tip 8: If you'd prefer Laika to target another player, be sure to place yourself farther away from her than the other player is. (Not guaranteed to work if Laika has a laser.)
