In *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, mastering naval combat is crucial, and upgrading the Goromaru's cannons is a key strategy to dominate the seas. Here's a detailed guide on how to enhance your ship's firepower in this engaging game.
How to Upgrade Cannons in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
In Chapter 2, you'll explore the vibrant hubs of Honolulu and Madlantis. As you progress through the main questline, you'll meet Julie, a skilled mechanic who runs the GearWorks shop in Honolulu. Julie is essential for upgrading the Goromaru, and you can revisit her to enhance various ship weapons, including cannons.
To upgrade your cannons, you'll need different materials, which you can collect by defeating enemies. These materials are categorized as follows:
- Quality Components
- Superb Components
- Miscellaneous (animal parts, fruits, stones)
Approach Julie at GearWorks, select the cannon you wish to upgrade, and use the collected materials. Once upgraded, you can equip these cannons on either side of the Goromaru via the crew formation menu. Here are the types of cannons you can upgrade:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon inflicts elemental damage and boasts a faster reload time. However, its damage output is lower, making it a good option to consider later in the game or for the purpose of recruiting Julie to your crew.
Egesta Cannon
The Egesta Cannon offers a strategic advantage with its slow but steady damage. It fires two rounds at once, which compensates for its longer reload time. You can mix this cannon with others for diverse combat tactics.
Laser Cannon
The Laser Cannon is highly recommended for its devastating damage, making it one of the best weapons in the game. Its long reload time is offset by its ability to destroy weaker ships instantly and significantly damage boss ships. Save your components for this upgrade as you progress through the story.
Super Laser Cannon
The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate upgrade for the Goromaru, offering long-range capabilities and incredible power. This upgrade requires rare components, available later in the game. It's perfect for the toughest battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
Upgrading your cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is essential for naval supremacy. Plan your upgrades wisely and collect the necessary materials to ensure your ship remains a formidable force on the high seas.
