Where to find the red button in High on Life 2?
The location of the red button
The red NPC button can be found in Circuit Arcadia City Plazaright in front of Circuit Arcadia Mall, next to the cream colored car and near the palm trees. He will be standing behind a dark brown standing desk with a single red button in front of him.
As you approach, he shouts to get your attention and promises an interesting moral quandary to consider. It's up to you to include it or not. In total, the NPC with the red button will present you with its options three separate times to increase the amount of cash.

- Press the red button: Someone random in the world dies, but you get 500 pesos.
- Do not press the red button: No one dies, but you don't get any money.
Should you press the red button for 500 pesos in High on Life 2?
Yes, you should. If you press the red button for 500 Pesos, you will get the promised cash from an alien and declares that someone random in the world has died.

What happens when you hit the red button for one million pesos in High on Life 2?
To get the second encounter, quickly depart Circuit Arcadia and reset the zone. When you go back, you will find a red NPC button in the same place.
When you talk to the alien with the red button a second time, he will give you the following option:
- Press the red button: Someone random in the world dies, but you get 1,000,000 pesos.
- Do not press the red button: No one dies, but you don't get any money.
Should you press the red button for 1,000,000 pesos in High on Life 2?
It doesn't matter. If you press the red button, you will immediately receive a million pesos, but it will be taken away soon. Unlike last time, the random person who dies isn't so random. Immediately after pressing the button, the Gatlians you are currently equipped with will begin to show signs of death, indicating that it is their life that you will have to give in exchange for money.
Once you see this, the red NPC button will give you a second option:
-
Press the second red button in front of you to cancel the previous decision.
-
Don't press the second red button and keep the million pesos.
Although it is presented as an option, it is actually mandatory that you select the first option. The game forces you to save your gun's life and refund by preventing you from moving away from the red button, essentially reversing the first decision. There is no way to keep 1,000,000 pesos.

What happens when you press the red button for ten million pesos in High on Life 2?
To get the third encounter, fast travel from Circuit Arcadia to reset the zone (just like before). When you go back, you will find a red NPC button in the same place.
When you talk to the alien with the red button for the third time, he will give you the following option:
- Press the red button: Someone random in the world dies, but you get 10,000,000 pesos.
- Do not press the red button: No one dies, but you don't get any money.
Should you press the red button for 10,000,000 pesos in High on Life 2?
It doesn't matter. No matter if you press the red button or not, you will not get 10,000,000 pesos. This is because as soon as you press the button, the stranger behind the desk will lean over and die, meaning the person who was supposed to give you the money is a random person who gets the short end of the stick.
Interestingly, if you go behind the table and actually look into the “dead” alien's face, you will see that his eyes are actually blinking, indicating that he is most likely alive. You can use your Gatlians to shoot this NPC, but no matter how many bullets you put into his skull, he will continue to play dead so he doesn't have to give you ten million pesos. There is no way to get money.
The next time you return to this location, the alien and his red button will be gone. Additionally, there is no achievement or trophy attached to this encounter, so no matter what you choose, there will be no lasting effects. The most you can get from this interaction is 500 pesos for the first press of the red button.
