Yakuza: Like a Dragon (JP: 龍が如く 7 Ryū ga Gotoku 7 lit. "Like a Dragon 7") is a role-playing game developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA. It was released in 2020 for the PlayStation 4, XBOX One, XBOX Series S/X, and PC, with an enhanced version for PlayStation 5 slated for an early 2021 release. It is the eighth main game in the Yakuza franchise.
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Colt 1911-type pistol
One of the many returning weapon models from previous games is this distinctive Colt 1911 clone, first seen in Yakuza: Dead Souls. It most closely resembles the Para Ordnance 7.45. In this game, it appears to fire in double-action mode, which is extremely rare for a Colt 1911 clone. Later on however, Geomijul deputy leader Joon-Ji Han has a pair of the same gun models wielded akimbo, and this time the hammers are in the back position.
Nambu Model 60
The Nambu Model 60 handgun is seen in the holsters of police officers in the game.
Makarov PM clone
As has been the case for the past 11 years, this Makarov PM clone with an extended barrel has been a favourite of the Yakuza series' eponymous criminals. There appear to be both black and silver versions of this pistol in the game.
Walther PPK
Seong Hui, leader of the Geomijul, has a Walther PPK. This model has been taken from previous games, including what appears to be the de-cocking lever from the SIG-Sauer P230 acting as a magazine release; the P230 actually has its magazine release on the butt of the weapon.
Grenades
"Hand Grenade"
Hand grenades are available as a "battle item," unsurprisingly dealing damage to the target and nearby enemies when used. This model is the same as has featured in previous games, and does not appear to be based directly on any real-life model.
Molotov Cocktail
The "Bomb Bug" enemies are armed with Molotov Cocktails. Like the "flamethrower" weapon, the flames from this are purple.
Throwable dynamite
One attainable move of the "Foreman" job class is the "Explosive Throw," where the player character will throw dynamite that explodes after a short delay. The result is fire damage to the target and nearby enemies, as well as the chance to inflict the "burn" status effect.
Type 97 hand grenade
As with Yakuza Kiwami 2, the Type 97 hand grenade is depicted as being an incendiary grenade despite the fact that it is actually a fragmentation grenade.
Other
Airsoft Remington 700
The Remington 700 model from previous games (albeit without the laser sight) is reused in YLAD as an airsoft weapon during a substory. A minor bug in the game means that the man's right arm in the enemy list menu glitches through the butt of the "rifle."
"Bowgun"
Members of the Geomijul use crossbows, which are referred to in the game as "Bowguns," for the silent approach. This weapon type is also used by enemies in battle encounters.
Flamethrower/energy weapon
Certain enemy job classes use what appears to be a flamethrower, or possibly some kind of plasma weapon given the weird colour of the "flames."
Go-kart-mounted machine guns
In the "Dragon Kart" side quest, kart-mounted machine guns can be used to damage opponents' karts. The machine guns themselves appear to be retextured and comically undersized versions of the Browning M2HB model from Yakuza: Dead Souls.
Rocket Launcher
The rocket launcher model from previous Yakuza games, the Panzerfaust 3 model from Binary Domain with the warhead removed, is used in the go-kart side-quest.
Various fake weapons
The "Sniper Assailant" from the aforementioned substory appears to be a big fan of airsoft/fake weapons, as he has a shelving unit full of them in his room. This includes various models recycled from previous games, including the M134 Minigun, Modified MAC-10 model, flashbang grenades, Tanegashima, and weird weapon-shop rifles.
