    I'm creating a game where the user uses a gun to manipulate objects in space. Currently all of my VFX is being done through Unity's Particle System, but I'd like my beam to "curve" and bend as the player moves.

    visually, my beam would appear similar to symmetra's beam (old school) : https://i.ytimg.com/vi/avFdkxoJ00Q/maxresdefault.jpg

    I'd like to know what is the best way to implement this? should i even be using particle system?
