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

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

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

In Chapter 2 of *Pirate Yakuza*, you'll explore the vibrant hub worlds of Honolulu and Madlantis. These areas are not only filled with new adventures and characters but are essential for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members to progress the story and build the reputation of the Goro Pirates. As you advance through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, a skilled mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu.

Julie plays a pivotal role in upgrading the Goromaru. After your initial meeting, you can return to her shop to enhance your ship's weapons, including the vital cannons. Upgrading cannons requires various materials, which can be obtained by defeating enemies. Here's a breakdown of the types of components you'll need:

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

To upgrade your cannons, simply approach Julie, initiate a conversation, and select the cannon you wish to enhance. Once upgraded, head 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 and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon deals elemental damage and has a faster reload time compared to other cannons. However, its damage output is lower, making it less of a priority for upgrades. Consider saving your components for more powerful options, but the Shark Cannon can be useful for recruiting Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon is perfect for strategic gameplay, as it inflicts slow but steady damage. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slower reload time. You can equip different types of cannons on each side of the Goromaru, allowing for varied combat strategies.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is the top choice for your ship's weaponry in *Pirate Yakuza*. Its devastating damage can obliterate weaker ships instantly and significantly weaken boss ships. Despite its long reload time, saving your components for this upgrade is highly recommended.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the ultimate upgrade for the Goromaru's weapons. Requiring rare components, it becomes available later in the game. Its key advantage over the regular laser cannon is its long-range capabilities, making it an invaluable asset in tougher battles, such as those in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

By following this guide, you'll be well-equipped to upgrade your cannons and dominate the seas in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*.
