LHO-63 Camper

This high calibre, semi-automatic, marksman rifle is great for taking out larger targets with a few well-placed shots. The LHO-63 is part of the Ranger equipment kit.

Unlock Requirement
The Camper is a DLC weapon, available at any rank to those who purchase the Ranger equipment kit (available for free as part of a limited edition Helldivers bundle until 28th April 2015, now available as a paid DLC).

Upgrades
High Power Ammunition
 * High Power Rounds have a greater powder charge resulting in a bullet that travels much faster. Few weapons can take an upgrade like this without modifying the weapon extensively.

Increased Rate of Fire
 * A lot of modifications can result in an increased rate of fire, but the effect is always the same, more damage in a shorter span of time.

Weapon Stats

 * Helldivers start with 6 magazines of Camper ammunition, and can carry up to 12. Each magazine contains 8 rounds. If 2 or less rounds remain in the magazine when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.


 * Reload time for a fully emptied magazine is 2.5 seconds; if reloaded while there are still rounds in the magazine, this drops to 1.25 seconds. In addition, this keeps a round in the chamber. This means a Camper with a chambered round gives a total of 9 shots before needing to be reloaded.

Gameplay Tips

 * Effective at liberating enemy patrols that are right at the edge of the screen. Even when injured, they will not raise the alarm.


 * Since every shot counts and there is no way to upgrade its ammunition capacity, consider combining the Camper with the Laser Aim Module Perk to maximize your serving of liber-tea.
 * While it takes time to master using the LHO-63 without a Laser Aim Module, it is significantly faster than both the M2016 Constitution and RX-1 Rail Gun in terms of both firing rate and reload speed. Its high-powered armor-piercing shots coupled with its speed make the LHO-63 a lethal weapon against most enemies.


 * The Camper's reload time is halved when there is still at least one round left in the magazine. This makes it well worth to fast-reload the weapon early on in the mission as this ensures subsequent double-speed reloads (until you are killed).
