What Is the Yakuza Devil Hunter Path?

The Yakuza faction serves as the underground alternative to Public Safety, focusing on aggressive combat styles and exclusive devil contracts. Unlike the structured government-backed organization, Yakuza operates in the shadows, offering greater power at the cost of accessibility and safety.

Exclusive Benefits of Yakuza

When you join the Yakuza faction, you unlock:

• Katana Man Hybrid: One of the most powerful close-range transformations in the game, inspired by the Chainsaw Man series
• Zombie Devil Contract: Easier to obtain than Snake Devil, providing excellent sustain and pressure capabilities
• Snake Devil Contract: The most powerful Yakuza-exclusive contract with devastating floor ambush abilities
• Yakuza-only Raids: Special raid content with unique rewards and progression opportunities
• Private Hideout: Access to exclusive facilities including surgery kits, crafting stations, and personal rooms

Important Sacrifices

Before making this permanent decision, understand what you’ll lose:

• No Public Safety HQ Access: You cannot enter the main headquarters building
• Lost Devil Contracts: Future Devil and Cursed Devil become permanently unavailable
• Limited Hybrid Options: Only Katana Man Hybrid can be obtained as a Yakuza member
• No Return Policy: Once you join Yakuza, you cannot go back to Public Safety without wiping your character

If your build relies on Future Devil’s predictive abilities or Cursed Devil’s unique mechanics, reconsider joining Yakuza.

Requirements Before Becoming Yakuza

While there are no strict prerequisites to start the Yakuza initiation quest, proper preparation significantly increases your success rate:

Essential Preparation

• Combat Experience: Basic PvP skills for the initiation quest
• Mobility Tools: A skateboard (purchase from Skateboard Shop near HQ)
• Money Management: Efficient farming methods to reach 80,000 Yen quickly
• Weapon Proficiency: At least one well-upgraded weapon for combat effectiveness

Recommended Starter Setup

• Weapon: Katana or Dagger from Armory (best early-game hitboxes)
• Division: Complete Division 5 missions first for easy Yen and experience
• Contracts: Consider getting Fox Devil as your first contract before joining Yakuza

Step-by-Step: How to Become a Yakuza Devil Hunter

Step 1: Start an Outskirts Mission

Begin your journey to the Yakuza hideout by creating a specific mission type:

1. Go to Devil Hunter HQ (main starting location)
2. Create a mission at the mission board
3. Select “Cleanup Duty” from available mission types
4. Choose “Outskirts” as your location
5. Start the mission to enable free travel toward Yakuza territory

This mission setup allows you to move freely without interference and access areas normally restricted during regular gameplay.

Step 2: Find the Yakuza Hideout

The Yakuza base is intentionally hidden to maintain its underground nature:

1. Press H to open your map and turn left from HQ
2. Follow the main road straight past the initial buildings
3. Pass under the highway bridge – this is a key landmark
4. Look for a discreet building with green kanji signage on the left side

The hideout blends in with surrounding buildings, so move slowly and check each location carefully. Many players rush past it on their first attempt.

Step 3: Talk to the Yakuza Leader

Once you’ve located the hideout:

1. Enter the building (no special requirements for entry)
2. Find the Yakuza Leader NPC – usually near the back of the main room
3. Interact with the Leader to receive the initiation quest
4. Accept the quest objectives to begin your Yakuza journey

The Leader will explain the requirements and consequences of joining the Yakuza faction.

Yakuza Initiation Quest Objectives

To officially join the Yakuza, you must complete two main objectives:

Objective 1: Kill 5 Players

This requirement tests your combat skills and loyalty:

• Target Specifics: Must be Public Safety members only
• Prohibited Targets: Do not kill Yakuza members – this will fail your quest
• Recommended Strategy: Target Public Safety Trainees as they’re the easiest and safest targets
• Best Locations: Near Public Safety HQ or popular mission areas

Pro Tip: Use the Hold The Line mission to find Public Safety members farming experience, making it easier to find targets.

Objective 2: Earn 80,000 Cash

This financial requirement proves your dedication:

• Fastest Methods: Complete Division 5 missions (buy/craft tasks)
• Alternative: Run raids with cooldown management
• Money Saving: Avoid unnecessary deaths to preserve mission rewards
• Efficiency Tips: Use a skateboard for faster travel between objectives

Completing the Initiation

Once both objectives are complete:

1. Return to the Yakuza Leader in the hideout
2. Confirm your decision – this is your final chance to back out
3. Accept the faction change to permanently become Yakuza

After this point, you cannot return to Public Safety without wiping your character.
