All weapons and perks in High on Life 2

High on Life 2 follows its predecessor when it comes to having wonky weapons, and there are plenty of options to unlock.

While most of the weapons work as primary, there are a couple of secondary choices to unlock as well. Every weapon comes with a unique perk that sets it apart. This guide will provide you with brief information about all the guns and their perks.

All weapons in High on Life 2

Here’s a list of all the weapons you’ll come across in High on Life 2.

• Bowie: A slow-firing bow that deals good damage, but its aim isn’t that great.
• Gus: A close-range shotgun that has amazing damage, but lacks in range and ammo capacity.
• Creature: Launches creatures that attack enemies. One of the most bizarre weapons to use.
• Sweezy: An SMG that also fires high charge single shot with the RMB.
• Sheath: A burst-firing AR that’s the Jack of all trades.
• Travis and Jan: The two secondary pistols that shoot high-energy beams. Aiming with this gun is difficult, but the damage makes up for it.

All six weapons mentioned above have special abilities that can be triggered with the Q button.

Weapon	Unique
Bowie	Soul Hole: Creates a large hole in time, and you can enter it to see things you normally won’t be able to. You can also shoot at enemies from inside the Soul Hole.
Creature	Hypno Baby: Throw a baby creature that can temporarily control the enemies.
Gus	Disc Launcher: Throws a gigantic lava disc that can also work as a platform. You can use the platform to reach heights that would otherwise not be possible. The platforms can only be used with a specific type of wall.
Sheath	Spike: Shoots an electric pole that can electrocute multiple enemies. You can also use it as a zipline between two points, or solve puzzles where you have to connect electrical lines.
Sweezy	Time Bubble: Shoots a huge bubble that slows everything down if they come in contact with it.
Travis and Jan	Glob Shot and Slime Drive: Shoots projectiles that burst upon platforms, or use them to levitate yourself to clear obstacles.

High on Life 2 is now out on PC and consoles, and the general performance on the former platform is below par at best.

There have been instances of several players encountering occasional lags and stutters early on their adventures. The main culprit, once again, appears to be Unreal Engine 5. Thankfully, there are a few tweaks you can make on your own to smooth the performance.

Best High on Life 2 graphics settings

Before I deep dive into my current settings, here are the specifications of my PC.

• AMD Ryzen 5600G
• 16 GB of DDR5 RAM
• NVIDIA RTX 3060 12 GB

Here’s the set of settings I have been using to get the best possible gameplay.

• Window Mode: Windowed Fullscreen (depends completely on your personal preferences)
• Resolution: 1920×1080 (depends on your setup)
• Framerate Limit: 60
• V Sync: Disabled
• Graphics Quality: Medium
• Upscaling: NVIDIA DLSS (FSR for AMD devices)
• Upscaling Method: Balanced
• Frame Generation Technologies: Off
• Latency Reduction Technologies: Off
• Motion Blur: Disabled
• Chromatic Aberration: Disabled
• FOV: 90
• View Distance Quality: Medium
• Global Illumination Quality: Medium
• Anti-Aliasing Quality: Medium
• Shadow Quality: Low
• Post Process Quality: Medium
• Texture Quality: Medium
• Effects Quality: Medium
• Foliage Quality: Reduce it to Low if you’re struggling with performance

Here are some key pointers to remember. I have tried with unlimited FPS and 120 FPS. Both seem to cause trouble in the form of stutter. It could be my system, but I believe 60 FPS is a good limit if you have a weak hardware setup. While High on Life 2 is a shooter, it’s not a competitive one. 60 FPS will be more than enough if you manage to keep the stutters away.

V Sync comes disabled by default, and it’s best to keep it that way. The extra feature doesn’t offer much, but consumes a lot more resources.
