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's naval combat. This guide details how to enhance these powerful weapons.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, major hubs where ship upgrades and crew recruitment are vital. You'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. She upgrades the Goromaru and offers subsequent weapon enhancements, including cannons. Upgrade materials are acquired by defeating enemies.

Speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Equip upgraded cannons via the ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of available cannons and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but lower damage output. Consider this a later upgrade, perhaps prioritizing crew recruitment over immediate cannon power.

Egesta Cannon

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

Laser Cannon

Highly recommended. Its devastating damage, despite a slower reload, quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly weakens stronger ones. Prioritize acquiring the necessary components.

Super Laser Cannon

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