The Gun del Sol series of chips are Real Time chips that use the power of the sun to deal damage over time. Gun del Sol 1, 2, and 3 shine a 3 wide 1 deep ray of sunlight two panels ahead that normally deals 2 damage every frame. If Lan is in a location considered "outdoors", the sunlight deals 4 damage every frame instead.
Gun del Sol 1, 2, and 3 in total deal 120, 180, and 240 damage respectively if Lan is indoors, and 240, 360, and 480 damage in total if Lan is outdoors.
Gun del Sol's sunlight removes an enemy's Flashing status, bypasses 
Barriers, and 
AntiDmg and does not get reduced by 
HolyPanl. Gun del Sol can be blocked by Shield, Reflect, and the 
Reflector chip series.
GunDelEX is a Japanese exclusive chip that shines a 3 wide 2 deep ray of sunlight two panels ahead, which deals 240 damage in total if Lan is indoors, and 480 damage in total if Lan is outdoors.
- The following overworld locations are considered "outdoors":
- ACDC - ACDC Town
- Expo - Expo Site
- Central - Central Town
- Seaside - Seaside Town, Aquarium 2, Auditorium
- Green - Green Town
- Sky - Admin, Sky Town Change
Notes
- Unlike in BN4 and BN5, Gun del Sol is not canceled by releasing the A button
- The sunlight does not damage objects or count towards Damage Judge
- The Gun del Sol series is a reference to the Boktai series of games
- If used in Beast Out, Megaman will always attempt to use the Gun del Sol series in the middle row
- Unlike most Real Time chips, Gun del Sol does not get buffered with AntiDmg. This causes it to be interrupted and the AntiDmg activates immediately.
- This causes a unique interaction when used in Beast Out. If AntiDmg activates during the Beast Jump, this will interrupt the Gun del Sol animation and will cause MegaMan to land in place.
- This can trap MegaMan on the opponent's area if this happens while MegaMan is on the Enemy's side of the field during the Beast Jump.
- This causes a unique interaction when used in Beast Out. If

Competitive Overview
The Gun del Sol series has very high damage potential but requires the player to constantly hit their opponent with sunlight.
Gun del Sol can prematurely end the Flashing status created by an opponent using 
Invisibl.
Beast out can be used to ensure Gun del Sol does not initially miss, although an opponent can still move out of the way to avoid taking full damage.
The player can prevent their opponent from moving out of the sunlight by restricting their movement, either by destroying their panels with chips such as 
Geddon or by greatly reducing the opponent's area with 
AreaGrab.
GunDelS3 Q pairs incredibly well with the giga chip 
ColForce, and together make up parts of the "Gun Del Force" combo. Invisibl can be used to completely dodge Colonel Force, but by landing Gun del Sol immediately after using Colonel Force, the opponent loses their Flashing, ensuring Colonel Force can hit and stun the enemy, which can in turn prevent the opponent from avoiding Gun del Sol's sunlight. 
WindRack can be used before the Colonel Force or before the Gun del Sol if the player is worried the opponent will block the Colonel Force with a 
LifeAur or another kind of Barrier chip.
Counterplay
If an opponent uses Gun del Sol, a player can move forwards or backwards out of the sunlight's range to avoid the entirety of the attack.
If the opponent is not in Beast Out, a player can completely avoid Gun del Sol by standing at least 3 columns away from the opponent or by standing in the column directly in front of the opponent.
