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

Various materials are needed for cannon upgrades, obtained by defeating enemies. These include:

Speak to Julie and select the cannon you wish to upgrade. Once upgraded, equip them via the crew formation menu on your ship.

Cannon Upgrades

Shark Cannon

The Shark Cannon offers elemental damage and a faster reload than some options, but its damage is relatively low. Consider saving your resources for stronger cannons and perhaps acquiring this one later to recruit Julie.

Egesta Cannon

This cannon inflicts slow but consistent damage, making it a strategic choice, especially if you don't want identical cannons on both sides of the Goromaru. Its dual-shot compensates for its slower reload.

Laser Cannon

The Laser Cannon is arguably the best weapon in the game. Save your resources for its upgrade. Its devastating damage quickly eliminates weaker ships and significantly harms bosses, offsetting its longer reload time.

Super Laser Cannon

The Super Laser Cannon is the ultimate Goromaru upgrade, requiring rare components obtainable later in the game. Its superior power and range make it ideal 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.
