High on Life 2 guns: Full list of weapons and how to unlock them all

If you're playing High on Life 2, it's only logical to wonder how many guns are in the game and how exactly you're going to get them all.

As you work through the High on Life 2 missions, you'll find yourself armed with some familiar weaponry and some new faces.

By our count, three guns from the first game return, and one from the first game's DLC. There are also five brand new guns for you to enjoy.

As I wrote in my High on Life 2 review, "Building on the strengths of the first game, these new guns combine with the returning old ones for some really fun combos and special effects, both in the battle scenarios and the puzzling segments (an underrated element of the franchise in this writer’s opinion)."

So, let's crack on and get to the full list!

High on Life 2 guns: The full list

There are 9 main guns for you to collect in High on Life 2, by our count, and the full list looks like this:

• Gus
• Sweezy
• Creature
• B.A.L.L.
• Sheath
• Travis
• Jan
• Bowie
• Shoot-O

Also, a special shoutout should go to Knifey (voiced by Michael Cusack), who also returns for this new adventure. Australia 2's most violent denizen will be with you from the start, but we can't exactly include him in a list about guns!

How to unlock all guns and weapons in High on Life 2

If you want to know more about each of these guns, keep on reading and we'll explain where you can expect to collect each of them.

All but one of these guns are tied to the main story, so you don't need to worry about missing them.

There are some spoilers to be found in this article, because some of the guns come a lot later in the story, so be warned!

Gus

Voiced by: JB Smoove

How to unlock: Play the first mission

Tips: Gus's discs are very powerful in combat, and you can use Knifey to hit them in mid-air and get multiple attacks from each individual disc.

Sweezy

Voiced by: Betsy Sodaro

How to unlock: Play the first mission

Tips: Sweezy's time bubble is crucial some puzzle situations, and it can also come in handy to slow down enemies in a pinch.

Sheath

Voiced by: Ralph Ineson

How to unlock: Complete the Senator Muppy Doo mission

Tips: Sheath's special attack is very reminiscent of Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy, so you should use it to chain multiple enemies in one go.

Travis

Voiced by: Ken Marino

How to unlock: Complete the Billionaire Larry Pinkstock mission

Tips: To be honest, Travis isn't my favourite gun, but you can use his special attack to raise enemies into the air (and raise certain platforms during puzzle segments).

Creature

Voiced by: Tim Robinson

How to unlock: Interact with Creature during the main mission to pick up Jeppy

Tips: Creature's terrifying children are the best crowd control option in the game. If you're ever getting overwhelmed, dispatch as many babies as possible to distract and damage your enemies.

B.A.L.L.

Voiced by: Michael Cusack, Nathan Faustyn and David Herman

How to unlock: Find the three blue men at locations in the open world (see video guide)

Tips: Fans of the High on Knife DLC will remember that B.A.L.L.'s special attack, similar to Gus's, can come in very handy in crowded situations. Drop down the pinball-style bumper, blast a ball in there, and watch it fly!

Jan

Voiced by: Gabourey Sidibe

How to unlock: Complete the mission to have dinner with your mum

Tips: Once she's paired with Travis, the novelty of having two guns at the same time does make for some fun gameplay.

Bowie

Voiced by: Frankie Quinones

How to unlock: Complete the Finance Wiz James Stevenson mission

Tips: Bowie's soul hole is absolutely crucial to some puzzles and boss battles, allowing you to see weak points that are otherwise un-shootable, so don't forget to use it if you get stuck!

Honourable mention: Shoot-o

Voiced by: Alec Robbins

How to unlock: Complete the mission that starts with visiting the Party City store.

Tips: Once you've successfully weaponised Suit-O, you can use his gravity powers to throw objects around without having to swap weapons (this power is mapped to LB/L1).
