Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 is finally here, bringing three new agents, more W-Engines, Bangoos, areas, and a story to HoYover’s gacha extravaganza. Dubbed Undercover R&B, there are plenty of easy ways to grab the new agents Qingyi, Jane Doe, and Seth in 1.1. Just like HoYo’s other updates for Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, ZZZ’s first major content drop is absolutely jam-packed, and you’ll even get some free Polychrome and Master Tapes just for logging in.
Now that the Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 release date has arrived, there’s plenty to explore. You can get 300 free Polychromes just by logging in, and you’ve got until Saturday, September 13 to claim the reward via email. Also, don’t forget to grab ten Encrypted Master Tapes from the gacha game’s All-New Program event – you only need to log in for seven days to redeem them. You’ll need to be level 8 and have won the prologue, though, so keep that in mind.
Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 also adds two S-rank agents and one A-rank agent. We already have the best Zenless Zone Zero Jane Doe build and another Zenless Zone Zero Qingyi build for the S ranks, but only time will tell how good they really are. Then there’s A-rank agent Seth, as well as new W engines for all three characters.
There’s also S-rank Officer Cui Bangboo, who is perfect for squads consisting of the Criminal Investigation Task Force. If you have at least two members of the squad in your lineup, Officer Cui can step in and deal extra damage during fights, so he’s ideal if you’re building around Qingyi.
1.1 also includes some new story content if you’re done with Chapter 3. The special episode Undercover R&B pits you against Jane Doe, who complicates the investigation into the Mountain Lion Gang. Then there’s a Qingyi mission that you unlock after the Chapter 2 interlude, Mission Unthinkable, where you have to help Qingyi find a missing Bangboo.
You can also take on a new Hollow Zero challenge – in Inferno Reap, you only have three minutes to face off against the incredibly powerful ethereal Nineveh. You’ll need to complete the Withering Garden: Core mission first, but you can attempt this fight as many times as you like and earn Polychrome depending on your performance. Inferno Reap is also “a pure combat experience with no TV gameplay,” so if, like me, you find the TV stuff far too slow, this is a nice change of pace. The monitor arrays are also getting a major overhaul in Zenless Zone Zero 1.2, so hopefully they’ll be much more tolerable soon.
For someone who recently took a little time off from ZZZ, 1.1 seems like the perfect reason to return. There are new agents, events, activities, and story highlights to experience. Most importantly, you can grab some free rewards and try to pull the new Zenless Zone Zero banners – I’m still trying to grab Lycaon, but to no avail.
With ZZZ 1.1 finally here, we’ve compiled all the free Zenless Zone Zero codes you need to redeem, along with a complete Zenless Zone Zero tier list of every character.
