In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, mastering naval combat is crucial, and upgrading the Goromaru's cannons is essential for dominating the seas. Here's your comprehensive guide on how to enhance these pivotal weapons in the game.
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, where much of your adventure unfolds. Exploring these new locales not only enriches your experience but is also vital for upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members, essential for advancing the story and establishing the Goro Pirates' reputation. As you progress through the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, the skilled mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu.
Julie is key to upgrading the Goromaru, and after your initial meeting, you can return to her shop to enhance various weapons on your ship, including the crucial cannons. The upgrades require different materials, which you can gather by defeating enemies. Here's a breakdown of the components you'll need:
- Quality Components
- Superb Components
- Miscellaneous (animal parts, fruits, stones)
To upgrade your cannons, simply approach Julie, engage in conversation, and select the cannon you wish to enhance. Once upgraded, navigate to the crew formation menu on your ship to equip these cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Below are the types of cannons you can upgrade and their specific requirements:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a quick reload time. However, its damage output is relatively low. Consider saving your components for a more potent upgrade and perhaps invest in the Shark Cannon later to recruit Julie to your crew.
Egesta Cannon
The Egesta Cannon is a strategic choice, dealing slow but steady damage. It fires two rounds at once, which compensates for its slower reload time. You can mix and match cannon types on the Goromaru for varied combat tactics.
Laser Cannon
The Laser Cannon is the top-tier weapon in *Pirate Yakuza*. Its devastating damage can obliterate weaker ships instantly and significantly impact boss ships, despite its long reload time. It's highly recommended to save your components for this upgrade as you progress through the game's story.
Super Laser Cannon
The Super Laser Cannon represents the pinnacle of cannon upgrades, offering unmatched long-range capabilities and immense power. Acquiring it requires rare components, available later in the game. This upgrade is ideal for tackling the toughest challenges in the Pirate Coliseum and battles against the Devil Pirates.
This is your roadmap to upgrading cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, enhancing your naval prowess and ensuring your dominance on the high seas.
