Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth introduces a new weapon branding system akin to the socketing systems found in the JRPGs which inspired the series' shift to turn-based combat. At Julie’s Gearworks, players can use specific crafting materials to enhance their weapons and unlock brand slots at certain enhancement levels. Access to Julie's Gearworks is unlocked through completion of Substory 20 in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Chapter Four, which players are prompted to begin by the bartender of Revolve Bar.
