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

In Chapter 2, you'll be introduced to the vibrant hub worlds of Honolulu and Madlantis. These new areas not only expand your exploration but are essential for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members, crucial for advancing the storyline and establishing the Goro Pirates' reputation. During the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, the mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu.

Julie is your go-to for upgrading the Goromaru. After your initial encounter, you can return to her shop to enhance various ship weapons, including cannons. The upgrades require different materials, which you can gather by defeating enemies. Here are the types of components you might need:

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

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

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a faster reload time compared to other cannons. However, its damage output is lower, making it a good choice for later upgrades or 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, and can be paired with different cannons on either side of the Goromaru for varied combat tactics.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is the pinnacle of ship weaponry in *Pirate Yakuza*. It's recommended to save your components for this upgrade, as its devastating damage can obliterate weaker ships instantly and significantly weaken boss ships, despite its long reload time.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the ultimate upgrade for the Goromaru's arsenal. It requires rare components and is only available later in the game's story. Its long-range capabilities and immense power make it invaluable, particularly in challenging battles against the Devil Pirates and in the Pirate Coliseum.

Upgrading your cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is essential for success on the high seas. With the right strategy and components, you can turn the Goromaru into an unstoppable force.
