Onion Shot

The Onion Shot is ammunition for guns in Final Fantasy XII. It is the weakest ammunition for guns without any special properties, but guns cannot be equipped without owning some kind of shot. Owning the Onion Shot means the player can use an unlimited amount, and shots do not need a license to be equipped alongside a gun.
==Obtain==
===Original===
The Onion Shot is bought for 100 gil from Rabanastre (no longer available after defeating Belias), Nalbina Fortress, the traveling merchant Dyce in the Nam-Yensa Sandsea, Jahara, and Mt Bur-Omisace. They are found in a treasure in Dalmasca Estersand's Sand-Swept Naze , Dalmasca Westersand's The Midfault , Barheim Passage's Great Eastern Passage , and Ogir-Yensa Sandsea's Central Junction .
The player never needs to find or buy the shot, however, as Balthier joins the party with it equipped.
===Zodiac===
The Onion Shot set is sold for 100 gil in most shops.
The shot is found as a treasure in Barheim Passage's Great Central Passage (80% chance to appear, 55% chance for an item, 50% chance the item treasure is the Onion Shot without the Diamond Armlet equipped), and Trial Mode Stage 8 with the Diamond Armlet.
Balthier still joins the party with the Onion Shot equipped.
==Use==
The Onion Shot is the weakest shot, adding but 1 point to the gun's power without any added statuses or elements. The player is meant to equip it if they have no better shot to use; the Onion Shot can be swapped out as soon as the player gets any other shot. The other shots are commonly available in the bazaar, sold in packs alongside guns.
As Balthier joins the party with the shot already equipped, the player does not need to go out of their way to procure them unless the player started Vaan out as a Machinist in the Zodiac versions.
==Etymology and origin==
Onion equipment is a recurring type of equipment in the Final Fantasy series, associated from the Onion Knight job that debuted in Final Fantasy III.
