All Weapons in High on Life 2, Ranked

The weapons in High on Life 2 aren’t just tools for beating enemies and bosses. They are your companions who can talk, not just to your in-game character, but even breaking the fourth wall and speaking to you directly. 

Indeed, weapons have colorful personalities and designs you can’t help forming attachments to them. And in the sequel, their stories and motivations have been further defined, giving them actual character progressions that help make them feel like actual people.

Whether their attack power and capabilities in battle, or their significance to the story and your gaming experience, we’re ranking all weapons in High on Life 2 from worst to best.

10. Creature

Always that one weapon with so much potential that ends up nearly useless in battle. That’s Creature for you. But I suppose it fits his background a little too accurately. Once a genius scientist, the G3 ran experiments on the poor soul, leaving his mind a waste. 

Yet, Creature remains a good chap, and even gives birth to some terrifying alien babies on command. These are your battle soldiers who jump on enemies, dealing passive damage, and even distracting them. Unfortunately, not nearly enough damage you can rely on to finish the job.

9. Gus

Then, you have Gus, whose shotgun abilities are powerful, as much as they are versatile. You will need enemies up close. But rest assured, the discs Gus fires will be powerful enough to even take out multiple enemies at once. 

Plus, you can use his suction abilities to pull enemies closer for a more powerful blast. And moreover, shoot the discs at certain walls to climb on them as platforms and reach higher ground. 

8. Flint Turtle

Making an exception for all weapons in High on Life 2, ranked, by adding Flint Turtle. Although not the usual talking gun/Gatlian, it is an actual turtle you pick up on your quest that grunts and has a translator relaying his hilarious, outlandish personality. 

His use case in battle is also pretty grand. Spitting fireballs is no joke when it helps break down enemy defenses. Or you can throw the guy at enemies, and have him spin around, inflicting fire damage on enemies within range.

7. Shoot-O

Another exception is Shoot-O. Granted, its abilities are more useful when solving puzzles and navigating the environment. But you can always bend them to your will, especially when you’ve been caught between a rock and a hard place.

That moment when you’re fumbling around in the environment, hoping to find any object you can haul at enemies to get them off you. Well, Shoot-O doesn’t even need you to swap it to use it. And it has telepathy that grabs objects in the environment and throws them at enemies, dealing a surprising amount of damage.

6. Sweezy

Sweezy is one foul-mouthed talking gun. If you can put up with her trash-talking everything you do, then you’ll appreciate her time-slowing abilities. Her time bubbles slow down enemies and projectiles. 

Shoot the time bubbles, and enemies explode. Or even skateboard through the bubbles for massive AoE damage. Alternatively, Knifey can come in and finish the job.

5. B.A.L.L

B.A.L.L is one fun weapon to use in High on Life 2. It shoots three metal balls at a time, which bounce pinball-style, heating up and increasing in damage output, until they explode. So, rounding up enemies in a tight space and unleashing the ballboys will be the end of it. 

Predicting where the balls will explode can be tricky. But once you learn to home in on enemies, the damage inflicted is a significant amount.

4. Jan

Of all weapons in High on Life 2, ranked, Jan and Travis are options you can’t go wrong with. They are a couple, in fact, going through a rough patch. And as you can imagine, their bickering makes for some interesting laugh sessions. 

Beyond banter, they pair well together. But Jan is roughly the weaker option. She fires like a pistol, shooting explosive slime. Consistent shots deal a lot of damage at mid to long range, but even more powerful shots at close range.

3. Travis

The Travis and Jan combo is a showstopper. Fire them, one after the other, and enemies will hardly catch their breath. Travis shoots globs at a surprisingly high fire rate and delivers impressive DPS damage. If you aim your shots accurately, you can even cover enemies with glob, which makes them lose balance.

However, he’s even more useful because his globs can interact with the environment, proving useful in platforming through obstacles. But it’s his chatter that’s probably the most fun, playing the role of a sadistic drunk, always complaining about his ex-wife and mid-life crisis. 

2. Bowie

High on Life 2 introduces some new talking guns, including Bowie, which, from his name, you can already guess is an actual bow. And don’t underestimate a bow and arrow’s power to thin crowds and keep a safe distance.

Fortunately, Bowie functions pretty accurately and smoothly. Plus, it feels fun and satisfying to shoot arrows so accurately that enemies go down in a single shot. You can use Bowie to create a time rift, as well, to aim at enemies from a temporary safety point. 

Overall, it’s a pretty good option for aiming at otherwise difficult-to-see platforming obstacles, puzzles, or enemies. And all while enjoying Bowie’s addictive charm and personality. 

1. Sheath

The best ranking weapon in High on Life 2 is Sheath. For a former hitman whose greatest pride is his perfect kill record, you know you’re going to get exceptional service from him. And Sheath delivers, firing rapid shots like an assault rifle.

His damage output is impeccable, controls smoothly, while allowing you to feel like a pro, successfully taking precise shots at enemies. Even headshots are possible, despite High on Life 2’s challenges with its combat. When caught in a tough battle, you know you can always rely on Sheath.
