Eridu Frontier
- Event duration: Permanent
This permanent event serves as an incentive to participate in the Shiyu Defense endgame mode. The earliest you can tackle this event is the Chapter 2 story intermission, which introduces Shiyu Defense. Once you reach the Third Frontier in Stable Node, you can redeem Soukaku (A-Rank, Ice/Support) for free.
Hollow Zero
- Event duration: Permanent
Hollow Zero is Zenless Zone Zero’s answer to a roguelike game mode. You begin by choosing an agent to lead your expedition, along with two backup agents that you can call on as you progress. Hollow Zero spans four floors in total, culminating in a final boss, though you’ll have to carefully manage your pressure and corruption gauges to reach that point.
