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 locations for ship upgrades and crew recruitment. You'll encounter Julie, a mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu. After initial ship upgrades, you can return to Julie (and even recruit her) to enhance your cannons. Upgrades require various components obtained by defeating enemies.

Speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Once upgraded, equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship. 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, prioritizing more powerful options initially. Useful primarily for recruiting Julie.
Egesta Cannon

Deals consistent damage over time, strategically advantageous due to its dual-shot capability, compensating for its slower reload. A good option for diverse damage types.
Laser Cannon

A top-tier weapon, highly recommended. Its devastating damage quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly weakens bosses, despite a longer reload time. Prioritize acquiring the necessary components.
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 Devil Pirates.
This comprehensive guide ensures you'll optimize your Goromaru's weaponry for a smoother sailing experience in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
