HoYoVerse went over the equipment and allies people will encounter in Zenless Zone Zero, detailing how the Bangboo, Eous, Drive Discs, and W-Engines will work. All of them help players while in a Hollow.
The Drive Discs and W-Engines are the equipment Zenless Zone Zero players will use in the game. The W-Engine affects Base Attack, an Advanced Stat, and applies a W-Engine Effect. So for example the Starlight Engine shown by the company increases the Base Attack, has an Attack percentage increase as the Advanced Stat, and has the Knight Pummel W-Engine Effect that increases ATK by 24% briefly after someone starts a Chain Attack. W-Engines can be found via Proxy Primers and at the Box Galaxy Shop. To buy one, you need W-Engine Chips, Modification Materials, and Dennies. You can also combine the same kind of W-Engine to increase its Effect. Think of it as being like a Genshin Impact weapon
The Drive Discs seem akin to Genshin Impact Artifacts and Honkai: Star Rail Relics. You can equip six at once. Each one improves one Base Stat and up to four Random Stats. Having two or four from the same set equipped nets you special set effects. So having two Woodpecker Electro pieces would increase a character’s critical hit rate by 8%, and making sure four were there would net a 16% critical damage increase for a limited time if the character gets a critical hit with a basic attack, dodge counter, or EX special attack. These have different ratings, which determine upgrade level caps.
As for the Zenless Zone Zero Bangboo and Eous, these help with exploration and fighting. The Eous uses Bangboo Chips in various slots to make Sets to help when going through a Hollow. You can modify them after the “No Guts No Glory” mission. The Bangboo offers combat and passive battle skills. You can’t modify them with Chips like an Eous, as each one is predetermined to work with certain combat styles. However, you can level them up or use Logic Cores from duplicates to improve their skills.
Zenless Zone Zero is in development for PCs, mobile devices, and unspecified consoles. A closed beta is on now.
