Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, your primary hubs. Exploring these areas is key to finding upgrade materials and crew members. During the main questline, you'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks. Her shops in Honolulu are where you'll upgrade your ship's weapons, including cannons.
Julie upgrades the Goromaru, and subsequently, you can return to her shop (and even recruit her!) to enhance your cannons. Upgrades require various components obtained by defeating enemies. Here's a breakdown of the materials:
Speak to Julie, select the cannon you wish to upgrade, and let her work her magic. Once upgraded, equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship. Here are the cannon types and their upgrade requirements:
Shark Cannon
The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but its damage output is relatively low. Consider this a later-game acquisition, perhaps prioritizing it after recruiting Julie to your crew.
Egesta Cannon
The Egesta Cannon deals damage over time, making it a strategic choice, especially if you don't equip identical cannons on both sides of your ship. Its dual-round firing compensates for its slower reload.
Laser Cannon
The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon in the game. Save your components for this devastating upgrade. Its high damage more than makes up for its slower reload, quickly dispatching weaker ships and significantly damaging bosses.
Super Laser Cannon
The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate upgrade, boasting incredible power and long-range capabilities. However, it demands rare components, making it a late-game reward. It's perfect for tackling challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.
That's how to upgrade your cannons in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Prepare for naval dominance!
