Upgrade Your Sea Cannons in Pirate Yakuza's Hawaiian Adventure

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 firepower, focusing on the most potent weapons in the game.

Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, major hubs where you'll spend significant time. Ship upgrades and crew recruitment are essential for story progression. During the main quest, 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, select your desired cannon upgrade, and equip them via the ship's crew formation menu. Here's a breakdown of cannon types and their requirements:

Shark Cannon

Offers elemental damage and a faster reload than others, but lower damage output. Consider this a later acquisition, perhaps prioritizing crew recruitment over immediate power.

Egesta Cannon

Deals consistent damage over time. Its dual-shot compensates for slower reload, offering strategic versatility, especially when equipping different cannons on each side of the Goromaru.

Laser Cannon

A top-tier weapon. Save your resources for this devastating cannon. Its high damage quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly weakens bosses, despite a longer reload time.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate Goromaru upgrade. Requires rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Its superior range and power are invaluable in challenging battles, like those in the Pirate Coliseum and against Devil Pirates.
