Upgrade Cannons Guide: Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

In the thrilling world of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, mastering naval combat is crucial, and upgrading the Goromaru's cannons is a key part of that journey. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to upgrade your cannons, the most powerful and essential weapons in the game.

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

In Chapter 2 of *Pirate Yakuza*, you'll dive into the vibrant hub worlds of Honolulu and Madlantis. These new locales not only offer a wealth of exploration and character interactions but are also vital for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members, essential for advancing the story and establishing your reputation as the Goro Pirates. As you progress through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, a skilled mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu.

Julie is your go-to for upgrading the Goromaru. After meeting her, you can revisit her shop to enhance the ship's various weapons, including the cannons. Upgrades require different materials, which you can gather by defeating enemies. Here's a breakdown of the materials you might need:

• Components
• Quality Components
• Superb Components
• Miscellaneous (animal parts, fruits, stones)

To upgrade your cannons, simply talk to Julie and select the cannon you wish to enhance. Once upgraded, navigate to the crew formation menu on your ship to equip the cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Here are the different types of cannons you can upgrade, along with their requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a quick reload time. However, its damage output is relatively low. It might be wise to save your components for more potent cannons and consider purchasing this one later, especially if you want to recruit Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon is a strategic choice, slowly damaging enemy ships. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slow reload time. You can mix and match this cannon with others on different sides of the Goromaru for varied combat strategies.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon in the game. Its long reload time is offset by devastating damage, capable of annihilating weaker ships instantly and significantly impacting boss ships. It's highly recommended to save your components for this upgrade as you progress through the *Pirate Yakuza* story.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the pinnacle of cannon upgrades for the Goromaru. Requiring rare components, it's only accessible later in the game. Its key advantage is its long-range capabilities, making it invaluable for tougher battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

And that's how you upgrade cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
