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 your ship's firepower, focusing on the most potent weapon type: cannons.

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 GearWorks in Honolulu. She's responsible for upgrading your Goromaru, including its cannons. Visit her shop (and consider recruiting her!) to access cannon upgrades. Various materials are needed, obtained by defeating enemies.

Speak to Julie, select your desired cannon upgrade, and equip them via the ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of available cannons and their upgrade requirements:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a faster reload than others, but lower damage overall. Consider this a later acquisition, primarily for recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

Deals consistent damage over time. Its dual-shot functionality compensates for its slower reload, making it a strategic choice, especially if you equip different cannon types on each side of the ship.

Laser Cannon

A top-tier weapon; save your resources for this devastating cannon. Its high damage output quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly weakens bosses, despite the longer reload time.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, boasting incredible power and range. Its high component requirements make it a late-game acquisition, ideal for tougher battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

This comprehensive guide equips you to maximize your Goromaru's firepower in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
