In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, upgrading your ship's cannons is crucial for mastering naval combat. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to enhance the Goromaru's firepower, ensuring you're well-equipped to tackle the seas.
How to Upgrade Cannons in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
In Chapter 2, you'll be introduced to the bustling hubs of Honolulu and Madlantis. These locations not only expand your exploration options but also introduce you to key characters and areas vital for upgrading your ship, the Goromaru. As you progress through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, the mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu.
Julie is your go-to for upgrading the Goromaru's weapons, including its cannons. To upgrade, you'll need various materials, which can be obtained by defeating enemies. The materials fall into four categories:
- Components
- Quality Components
- Superb Components
- Miscellaneous (animal parts, fruits, stones)
To upgrade a cannon, visit Julie at GearWorks, select the cannon you wish to enhance, and provide the necessary materials. Once upgraded, you can equip these cannons on either side of the Goromaru via the crew formation menu. Below are the types of cannons you can upgrade, along with their requirements:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a quicker reload time, though its damage output is lower. Consider saving your components for more potent options and perhaps purchase this later for the benefit of recruiting Julie to your crew.
Egesta Cannon
The Egesta Cannon delivers slow but steady damage and is a strategic choice. It fires two rounds at once, compensating for its slow reload time. You can mix and match cannons on the Goromaru for varied damage types.
Laser Cannon
The Laser Cannon is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. Its long reload time is offset by devastating damage, capable of destroying weaker ships instantly and significantly impacting 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, offering unmatched long-range capabilities and power. It requires rare components, making it available later in the game. It's ideal for tougher battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
And that's how you upgrade cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. With these enhancements, you'll be ready to dominate the seas and make the Goro Pirates a force to be reckoned with.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
