High on Life 2: How to Get All Skate Decks & Customization Guide

First-person gameplay in High on Life 2 showing the player riding a skateboard while a green alien creature follows in a vibrant sci-fi city.

Skateboarding takes center stage in High on Life 2, transforming how you explore the funky alien world. Beyond faster traversal, you can customize your ride with various Skate Decks that show off your style. Here’s your complete guide to finding, purchasing, and switching between all available Skate Decks in the game.

What Are Skate Decks in High on Life 2?

Skate Decks are cosmetic skins that change your skateboard’s appearance without affecting gameplay. Each deck features unique artwork ranging from purple imps to demonic designs to Lightning Warriors. While they don’t boost stats, they let you personalize your ride as you cruise through Circuit Arcadia, Pinkline Harbor, and beyond.

Moreover, the skateboard isn’t just for show. You can kick it at enemies to deal damage, grind rails for style points, and even ride up walls. Consequently, having a cool-looking deck makes every trick feel even more satisfying.

Where to Buy Skate Decks

All Skate Decks are available at “Skate then Die” shop, also known as Reptical’s Skateboard Shop, located on the Beach map in Pinkline Harbor.

  1. Head to Pinkline Harbor and find the Beach area
  2. Look for the green bamboo walls with Reptical’s face above the shop
  3. Enter “Skate then Die” and approach the counter
  4. Aim your crosshair at any Skate Deck displayed
  5. Check the description and 250 Peso price tag

How to Earn Pesos for Skate Decks

Since 19 decks cost 250 Pesos each with one premium 1,000 Peso deck, you’ll need a decent Peso stash to collect them all. Here’s how to earn currency:

Peso Farming Methods:

  • Defeat enemies throughout your missions
  • Complete bounties (Larry Pinkstock, Senator Muppy Doo)
  • Open Luglox containers scattered across maps
  • Explore thoroughly for hidden Peso stashes

Furthermore, the RIP Barney Sizzler Deck requires 1,000 Pesos, so prioritize saving if you want this premium memorial design.

How to Change Your Skate Deck Skin

Once you own multiple Skate Decks, switching between them takes seconds:

Changing Skate Deck Steps:

  1. Press ESC (PC) or pause button to open the menu
  2. Select “Skateboards” option
  3. Browse your collection of unlocked decks
  4. Highlight your preferred design
  5. Apply the new skin

Consequently, you can match your deck to your mood, mission, or outfit whenever you want. There’s no cooldown or restriction on switching.

Skateboard Upgrades vs. Cosmetics

It’s important to distinguish between cosmetic Skate Decks and functional upgrades:

Skate Decks (Cosmetic):

  • Purchased at the main counter in “Skate then Die”
  • Cost Pesos
  • Change appearance only
  • No gameplay impact

Skateboard Upgrades (Functional):

  • Found in Reptical’s secret shop behind the main store
  • Cost Skate Letters (not Pesos)
  • Improve performance (grip, grind duration, combat damage)
  • Actually enhance gameplay

Additionally, you earn Skate Letters by completing skateboard races and challenges across Circuit Arcadia, Pinkline Harbor, and Circuit Arcadia Zoo maps. These functional upgrades include underboard spikes, extended wall-grinding capabilities, and improved handling—making them essential for players who want maximum skateboard performance.

Tips for Collecting All Skate Decks

Collection Strategy:

  • Prioritize cheap 250 Peso decks first
  • Save 1,000 Pesos for the RIP Barney Sizzler Deck last
  • Don’t confuse cosmetic decks with functional upgrades
  • Check the shop regularly as you earn Pesos
  • Complete bounties for quick Peso influx

Moreover, collecting all 20 Skate Decks doesn’t unlock a specific achievement, but completionists will want them all regardless!

Final Thoughts

High on Life 2’s Skate Deck collection adds personality to one of the game’s best new features. Whether you prefer demonic designs, creature themes, or memorial tributes, there’s a deck for every style. Start earning Pesos, hit up Reptical’s shop, and customize your ride!
