In the thrilling world of *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, mastering naval combat is crucial, and upgrading your ship's cannons is key to dominating the seas. Here's a detailed guide on how to enhance the firepower of the Goromaru, ensuring you're well-equipped for the battles ahead.
How To Upgrade Cannons in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
In Chapter 2, you'll dive into the vibrant hub worlds of Honolulu and Madlantis. These areas are not just scenic; they're your gateways to upgrading your ship and recruiting new crew members. Essential to your journey is meeting Julie, the skilled mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. After completing the main questline, you'll encounter Julie, who not only upgrades the Goromaru but also offers the chance to recruit her to your crew.
To upgrade your cannons, head to Julie at GearWorks. 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)
Once you have the necessary materials, talk to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. After the upgrade, navigate to the crew formation menu to equip your new cannons on either side of the Goromaru. Here are the different types of cannons you can upgrade, along with their 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 powerful option and perhaps purchase this cannon later for the added benefit of recruiting Julie.
Egesta Cannon
The Egesta Cannon is a strategic choice, firing two rounds at a time, which compensates for its slower reload time. It's ideal for dealing different types of damage on each side of your ship, adding versatility to your combat strategy.
Laser Cannon
The Laser Cannon is a top-tier weapon, delivering devastating damage despite its longer reload time. It's highly recommended to save your components for this upgrade, as it can decimate weaker ships and significantly damage boss ships.
Super Laser Cannon
The pinnacle of cannon upgrades, the Super Laser Cannon, requires rare components and becomes available later in the game. Its long-range capabilities and immense power make it an invaluable asset, especially in tougher battles against the Devil Pirates and in the Pirate Coliseum.
And that's how you upgrade cannons in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*. Equip your ship wisely and conquer the seas!
