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 these powerful weapons, vital for naval combat.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, key hubs for ship upgrades and crew recruitment. Progressing through the main storyline leads you to Julie, a mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu. Julie upgrades the Goromaru and subsequently allows you to enhance its cannons. Various materials, obtained by defeating enemies, are needed for different upgrades.

Speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Once upgraded, 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 faster reload than others, but lower damage output. Consider this a later acquisition, perhaps prioritizing stronger options initially. Useful for recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

Deals damage over time, strategically advantageous, especially with varied cannon setups on the Goromaru. Its dual-shot compensates for the slower reload.

Laser Cannon

Highly recommended. Save your components for this devastating weapon. Its high damage significantly outweighs the longer reload time, quickly eliminating weaker ships and heavily damaging bosses.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate upgrade, requiring rare components, available later in the game. Its superior power and range make it ideal for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against Devil Pirates.

This comprehensive guide ensures you're well-equipped to conquer the seas in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
