The [[LH1]] is a [[Light]] class [[:Category:Marksman Rifle|marksman rifle]] designed to deal high damage per shot and very high headshot damage at moderate to long distances.

== Usage ==
The LH1 can be selected as the [[Weapons|weapon]] of any [[Light]] build loadout.

The trigger can be pulled to fire one bullet that damages an opponent, also dealing additional damage on headshots. The trigger must be released before firing again. Aiming down sights increases the LH1's accuracy. Moving decreases accuracy, especially when going airborne. 

The weapon automatically reloads when its magazine is empty, or the user can do a tactical reload before this point. The user has unlimited spare ammunition.

=== Properties ===
''' Weapon '''<br><br>
{{Feature icon|Ranged}} Strikes targets by aiming and firing at them from a distance.

{{Feature icon|Single Fire}} Fires once when the trigger is pulled. The trigger must be released before firing again.

{{Feature icon|Aim Down Sights}} Has iron sights and optical sights that significantly increase accuracy when used. 

{{Feature icon|Full Reload}} Replaces the entire magazine in one animation on reload.

{{Feature icon|Stable Accuracy|negative=true}} Suffers a significant decrease in accuracy while moving and while airborne.

<br>''' Bullet '''<br><br>
{{Feature icon|Hitscan}} Travels in a straight line, meaning there is no bullet drop. The direction will deviate from the crosshairs depending on accuracy.

{{Feature icon|Critical Hit}} Critically hits on headshots, applying a damage multiplier.

{{Feature icon|High Range Falloff}} Deals reduced damage when hitting targets at long distances (falloff starts beyond 30m). For the LH1, this distance is extremely far, with the falloff starting beyond 80 meters.

{{Feature icon|Minor Structure Damage}} Damages structures. Takes a very long time to break a concrete wall.

== Guide ==
''' Strengths '''
* The LH1 has a very strong headshot multiplier, dealing double the damage of a body shot.
** The LH1 can eliminate a [[Light]] contestant with two headshots, and requires one additional headshot for each step up in health class.
* The LH1 is one of the longest-ranged weapons available.

''' Weaknesses '''
* Very high bullet dispersion when hipfiring means the LH1 cannot reliably hit opponents when hipfiring, which is an issue at closer ranges.
** However, when the LH1 user is right on top of their opponent, they will still be able to easily land their shots through hipfiring.

''' Tactics '''
* Firing should always be done while aiming down sights, unless the target is extremely close. Doing so greatly increases the accuracy of the LH1.
* An LH1 user should attempt to step in and out of combat to safely be able to deal damage, approaching opponents from unexpected angles so that they cannot retaliate. The moments of cover also serve to reload the weapon.

''' Hitscan '''
*When the weapon fires a shot, a target is scanned for using a hitscan. This is a detection mechanism that scans in a straight line, meaning there is no bullet drop. The direction of this line will be deviate randomly from the direction of the crosshairs, depending on the accuracy level at the time of firing. 

*Immediately, the closest contestant, structure, object or shield intersecting the hitscan will be tagged as being struck. First, a bullet tracer animation quickly travels from the weapon to the hit location, then its effects are applied. This means it is possible for targets to be struck a few frames after they appear to take cover, as the hit is confirmed the moment the weapon is fired.

== Item Mastery ==
Item mastery XP can be earned by damaging and eliminating opponents with the LH1.

Each time a certain XP threshold is reached, the item levels up. This does not improve the item, but rewards a unique item customization.

== Trivia ==
* The LH1 exists in real life as a variant of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Springfield_Armory_M1A Springfield Armory M1A], originating in the United States in 1971, which itself is based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle M14 rifle].
** The in-game model of the weapon bears the closest resemblance to the SOCOM 16 variant of the M1A, as evidenced by the shortened barrel.
** The meaning of all of the other guns' names in ''THE FINALS'' have been found, making the LH1 the only gun where it is unknown how its name's letters relate to the model it is based on.
** See also: [[List of Gun Origins]].
