Chapter 2 introduces Honolulu and Madlantis, the game's main hubs. Exploring these areas and recruiting crew members is essential for upgrading your ship and advancing the story. During the main quest, you'll meet Julie, a mechanic who runs GearWorks in Honolulu. She'll upgrade the Goromaru, and you can later visit her shop (and even recruit her) to enhance your cannons.

Cannon upgrades require various components, gathered by defeating enemies. These components are categorized as follows:

Speak to Julie, select the cannon you wish to upgrade, and equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship. Here's a breakdown of the available cannons:

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a fast reload, but its damage output is relatively low. Consider prioritizing other cannons and acquiring this one later, perhaps after recruiting Julie to your crew.

Egesta Cannon

This cannon deals consistent damage over time. Its slow reload is offset by firing two rounds simultaneously, making it a strategically sound choice, especially if you equip different cannon types on each side of the Goromaru.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is a top-tier weapon. Save your components for this upgrade. Its high damage more than compensates for the longer reload time, quickly dispatching weaker ships and significantly damaging tougher ones.

Super Laser Cannon

The ultimate cannon upgrade, the Super Laser Cannon requires rare components, making it a late-game acquisition. Its extended range and devastating power make it worth the wait, especially for challenging battles in the Pirate Coliseum and against the Devil Pirates.

This concludes your guide to upgrading cannons in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
