How To Upgrade Cannons in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Mastering Cannon Upgrades in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Upgrading your Goromaru's cannons is crucial for success in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. This guide details how to enhance your firepower, focusing on the most potent weapons in the game.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, major hubs where ship upgrades and crew recruitment are vital. You'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks, the shop for upgrading your ship's weaponry. After the initial Goromaru upgrade, you can return to Julie (and even recruit her) to enhance your cannons. Upgrades require various components obtained by defeating enemies.

Speak to Julie, select your desired cannon upgrade, and equip them via the ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of the available cannons and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage output. Consider this a later acquisition, perhaps prioritizing more powerful options initially. Useful primarily for recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

Deals consistent damage over time. Its dual-shot functionality compensates for the slower reload, offering a strategic advantage, especially when equipping different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru.

Laser Cannon

A top-tier weapon. Its devastating damage, despite the slower reload, makes it highly recommended. Prioritize collecting the necessary components throughout the game.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, boasting incredible power and range. However, it demands rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Perfect for tougher battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

This comprehensive guide equips you to optimize your Goromaru's firepower in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
