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

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 weapons in the game.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, key hubs for upgrading your ship and crew. You'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks, the shop where cannon upgrades are performed. After completing relevant quests, you can visit Julie to upgrade your cannons using various components gathered from defeating enemies.

These components are categorized as: Quality, Superb, and Miscellaneous (animal parts, fruits, etc.). The specific combination needed varies depending on the cannon type.

Select the desired cannon upgrade from Julie's menu. Once upgraded, equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship. Here’s a breakdown of the available cannons:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage output. Consider this a later acquisition, potentially after recruiting Julie.

Egesta Cannon

Deals consistent damage over time, firing two rounds per shot. A strategic choice, especially if you don't want identical cannons on both sides of your ship.

Laser Cannon

Highly recommended. Its devastating damage compensates for the longer reload time, quickly dispatching weaker ships and significantly harming bosses. Prioritize acquiring the components for this upgrade.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, boasting incredible power and range. Requires rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Ideal for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
