Desperado , also known as Cold Blood, is a recurring ability in Final Fantasy series usually associated with gunners.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy VIII ===
Desperado is Laguna's Limit Break. He pulls the pin of a hand-grenade and tosses it into the middle of his opponents, then shoots a grappling hook above and, as he swings from side to side on his grapple, fires multiple rounds with his machine gun down upon his enemies. He jumps off the rope and lands with his back towards the foes as the grenade explodes, dealing massive damage to all enemies. It has a base attack power of 140.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
Desperado is an enemy ability of Mortibody, which deals moderate non-elemental damage to the party as well as removes NulAll, Shell, Protect, Reflect, Haste, and Regen. It is the only time in the series when it is not a Limit Break.
=== Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings ===
=== Final Fantasy XIII ===
Cold Blood (Desperado in Japanese) is Sazh's Full ATB skill. It is accessible via the Ravager role. When using Cold Blood, Sazh shoots the target 17 times to increase its chain gauge.
If Sazh has the synthesized ability Random: Instant Chain equipped, Cold Blood grants him 17 chances to trigger it.
==== Final Fantasy XIII-2 ====
Cold Blood is Sazh's Feral Link and becomes available after the completion of the "Sazh's Story: Heads or Tails?" downloadable scenario. As in Final Fantasy XIII, Cold Blood increases the enemy's chain gauge. The boost it provides is situational.
=== Final Fantasy XIV ===
Desperado is a level 2 Limit Break for ranged DPS classes. It was introduced in Heavensward (3.0).
=== Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy ===

Desperado is Laguna's EX Burst. He blasts his opponent with a rocket launcher, then throws a grenade at them and leaps into the air swinging on a rope while attacking with his machine gun. The player must hold R and keep the crosshair centered on the opponent, landing hits as a damage meter fills up. Filling the meter will have Laguna end the EX Burst with Ultimate Ragnarok Cannon, where he calls all his weapons together to concentrate energy and fire a large laser blast at the opponent, the earlier grenade exploding to deal HP damage.
===Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia===
Desperado and Cold Blood both appear as high-order moves:
