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

In Chapter 2, you'll discover the vibrant hubs of Honolulu and Madlantis, where your journey deepens. Exploring these areas not only introduces you to new characters but is essential for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members, advancing the storyline, and establishing the Goro Pirates' reputation. During the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, the mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu.

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

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

To proceed with an upgrade, speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to improve. Once upgraded, head to the crew formation menu on your ship to equip the cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Here are the cannon types you can upgrade and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage with a swift reload time, though its damage output is moderate. Consider saving your components for a more powerful cannon initially, but it's a good choice later on, especially if you want to recruit Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon offers strategic advantages with its slow, consistent damage. It's ideal for mixing with other cannon types, as it fires two rounds, compensating for its longer reload time.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is the pinnacle of ship weaponry in *Pirate Yakuza*. Its high damage compensates for the extended reload time, making it perfect for annihilating weaker ships and significantly damaging boss ships. Save your components for this upgrade as you progress through the story.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the ultimate upgrade for the Goromaru's arsenal. It requires rare components, obtainable later in the game, but its long-range capabilities and immense power make it invaluable, especially in challenging battles against the Devil Pirates and in the Pirate Coliseum.

This guide covers the essentials of upgrading cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, enhancing your naval prowess on the high seas.
