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

In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, mastering naval combat is key, and upgrading the Goromaru's cannons is essential for dominating the high seas. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to enhance these critical weapons to ensure your crew’s success.

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

In Chapter 2, you'll explore the vibrant hub worlds of Honolulu and Madlantis, where new areas and characters await. As you progress through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, the skilled mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu. Julie is crucial for upgrading your ship, the Goromaru, and can be recruited to your crew for further enhancements.

To upgrade your cannons, visit Julie at GearWorks. You'll need to gather various materials, which can be obtained by defeating enemies. The materials required vary depending on the type of cannon upgrade you're aiming for. Here are the different components you might need:

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

After collecting the necessary materials, speak with Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Once upgraded, head to the crew formation menu on your ship to equip the cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Below are the types of cannons you can upgrade, along with their requirements and strategic benefits:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and has a quick reload time, though its damage output is modest. Consider saving your components for more powerful options and perhaps acquiring this cannon later to recruit Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon offers a strategic advantage with its slow but steady damage. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slower reload time. This cannon can be paired with another type on the opposite side of the Goromaru for varied combat tactics.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is highly recommended due to its devastating damage, capable of obliterating weaker ships instantly and significantly damaging boss ships. Despite its long reload time, it's worth saving your components for this powerful weapon as you progress through the *Pirate Yakuza* story.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the pinnacle of cannon upgrades, boasting long-range capabilities and immense power. Acquiring this cannon requires rare components, making it a late-game upgrade. It's well worth the effort, especially for tackling the challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

By following this guide, you'll be well-equipped to upgrade your cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, ensuring your ship's dominance on the seas. *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
