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

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

Julie is your go-to for upgrading the Goromaru. After your initial meeting, you can return to her shop to enhance your ship's weapons, including the vital cannons. To upgrade, you'll need various materials, which can be obtained by defeating enemies. Here's a breakdown of the components you might need:

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

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

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a quicker reload time compared to other options. However, its damage output is relatively low. It's advisable to save your components for more potent cannons and consider purchasing the Shark Cannon later, especially if you're looking to recruit Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon is ideal for strategic gameplay, as it slowly damages enemy ships. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slower reload time. You can mix and match cannon types on the Goromaru, making the Egesta a versatile choice.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon for your ship. Its devastating damage can obliterate weaker ships instantly and significantly impact boss ships, despite its longer reload time. It's recommended to save your components until you can upgrade to this powerful cannon.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the pinnacle of upgrades for the Goromaru. It requires rare components, making it available later in the game. Its key advantage is its long-range capabilities, making it invaluable for tougher 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 dominance on the high seas.
