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 just scenic backdrops but essential for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members, crucial for progressing the storyline and establishing your reputation as part of the Goro Pirates. As you advance 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 revisit her at the GearWorks to enhance various ship weapons, including the cannons. Each cannon upgrade requires specific materials, which you can gather by defeating enemies. Here are the types of components you might need:

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

To upgrade your cannons, approach Julie, initiate a conversation, and select the cannon you wish to enhance. Once upgraded, you can access the crew formation menu on your ship to equip the cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Below are the types of cannons available for upgrade, along with their requirements:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage on enemy ships and boasts a quick reload time. However, its damage output is lower than other options, making it a better choice for later in the game or as a way to recruit Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

The Egesta Cannon deals slow but steady damage, making it a strategic choice. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slower reload time. You can mix and match cannon types on the Goromaru for varied combat strategies.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is one of the most powerful weapons in *Pirate Yakuza*. Its long reload time is offset by its devastating damage, capable of annihilating weaker ships instantly and significantly damaging boss ships. It's advisable to save your components until this upgrade becomes available.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon represents the pinnacle of cannon upgrades, requiring rare components obtained later in the game. Its distinguishing feature is its long-range capability, making it a formidable weapon for tackling tough battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

With these upgrades, you'll be well on your way to conquering the seas in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Remember, strategic planning and resource management are key to maximizing your ship's potential.
