Zenless Zone Zero Gacha System Explained: Pull Rates, Probability, and Banner Strategies

Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.2

Zenless Zone Zero’s gacha system is central to unlocking top-tier agents, unique W-Engines, and Bangboo companions. Understanding pull rates, probabilities, and banner strategies will help you optimize your resources and build stronger teams for every game mode.

How the Gacha System Works in Zenless Zone Zero

The ZZZ gacha system uses “Signal Searches,” divided into different “Channels”:

  • Agent banners: Standard and limited-time for characters (GosuGamers)
  • W-Engine banners: For weapons
  • Bangboo banners: For companion units
    Currency types include Polychrome (premium), Master Tapes (pull tickets), and Boopons (Bangboo pulls). Each currency is restricted to specific banner types (TheGamer).

Pull Rates & Pity System

Here are the official drop rates for Zenless Zone Zero banners (Zenless.ggGame Rant):
