As the neon-lit streets of New Eridu continue to evolve in 2026, many veteran Proxies still find themselves reminiscing about the golden days of Version 1.1—the update that felt like discovering a hidden jukebox in a dusty café, each event spinning a new hit track. For those who missed the curtain call or wish to relive the symphony of delights, this guide compiles everything you need to know about the seven limited-time events that made August and September 2024 a masterclass in live-service pacing. Think of it as a time capsule, wrapped in stardust and sealed with a Polychrome bow.
🎁 All-New Program (Aug 14 – Sep 24, 2024)
The curtain rose with the simplest yet most generous offering: a login bonus that flowed like honey from an overworked vending machine. Any Proxy who reached Inter-Knot Level 8 and unlocked the Events function could coast through seven days of check-ins to scoop up:
| Reward Type | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Polychrome | 300 |
| Master Tape | 10 |
| Boopon | 5 |
| Denny | 80000 |
No labyrinthine objectives, no combat trials—just the pure dopamine hit of free resources. In an era where some gacha games drip-feed rewards like a leaky faucet, All-New Program was a full-on waterfall. Every morning login felt like peeling open a fresh Boopon wrapper, revealing the gleaming promise of tomorrow’s pulls.
🎭 The Final Callback (Aug 14 – Sep 3, 2024)
Ever wanted to test-drive a luxury sports car before you even had a garage? This event let players audition Qingyi, Corin, and Billy in dedicated trial stages, no strings attached. The reward table read like a starter pack sent from the stars:
-
20 Polychrome
-
7 Official Investigator Logs
-
6 Basic Stun Certification Seals
-
8 Basic Attack Certification Seals
-
20,000 Denny
Simply smashing through the auditions unlocked everything. It was the perfect appetizer—like a free sample of a three-course meal that left you craving the full banner. For many, this was the push that turned casual interest into a committed mains’ gallery.
🎥 First-Class Customer Service (Aug 16 – Aug 26, 2024)
New Eridu’s video rental scene got a jolt of electricity when Random Play welcomed a parade of malfunctioning record players. This event was a rhythm game in disguise, asking players to hit calibration circles with the precision of a concert pianist dodging a sneeze mid-performance. Two challenge flavors spiced up the repair menu: Simple Adjustments for the uninitiated and Precise Calibration for the perfectionists.
Unlocking it required Inter-Knot Level 15 and completion of the Agent Story “Mole in the Hole (I).” Rewards cascaded through Polychrome, Boopon, Senior Investigator Logs, W-Engine Energy Modules, Bangboo System Widgets, and piles of Denny. Each successful repair ranked your performance, turning the video store counter into a leaderboard of its own—a cozy little cosmos where customer satisfaction determined your treasure trove.
🌸 Camellia Golden Week (Aug 21 – Sep 23, 2024)
The most anticipated holiday in New Eridu arrived with a bang, blending treasure hunts and fast-paced minigames that could make even a sloth’s heart race. With Inter-Knot Level 32 and Main Story Chapter 3 “The Midnight Pursuit” in the rearview mirror, Proxies dove into Hollow C41 to face Event Commissions that ranged from dodging red tiles in the HDD to scooping puzzle pieces against a merciless timer.
The crown jewel? A brand-new A-Rank Attack W-Engine, the Gilded Blossom, along with its upgrade material Blossoming Winds. For free-to-play and light spenders, this was equivalent to finding a legendary sword embedded in a sidewalk—completely unexpected and utterly game-changing. The event ran long enough to become a second home, a golden week that stretched into a golden month.
👮 Daily Life of a PubSec Officer (Aug 30 – Sep 9, 2024)
Ever fantasized about walking the beat with a badge of honor? This event handed Proxies the keys to law enforcement—at least for ten days. After reaching Inter-Knot Level 36 and clearing the Special Episode “Undercover R&B,” players donned the metaphorical uniform, interviewing citizens, unraveling incidents, and dispensing justice like a seasoned detective in a noir film.
Rewards included Polychrome, Senior Investigator Logs, Specialized Shock Chips, and Denny. Each solved case felt like connecting the final wire of a complex circuit, sparking a satisfying jolt of accomplishment. The event’s real magic lay in its down-to-earth narrative: ordinary people with everyday problems, reminding everyone that even in a city teeming with Ethereals, the small stories still mattered.
⚔️ Immersive Tactical Drill (Sep 6 – Sep 16, 2024)
The HIA Career Club threw down the gauntlet with a VR gauntlet that separated the casual button-mashers from the true tacticians. Entry required Inter-Knot Level 30 and completion of the Chapter 2 Interlude. Inside the simulation, every dodge, parry, and chain combo counted; fans compared it to conducting an orchestra where a single off-beat note could mean a restart.
Clearing the drills showered players with Polychrome, Tuning Calibrators, Senior Investigator Logs, W-Engine Energy Modules, Bangboo System Widgets, and Specialized Physical Chips. It was a challenge that rewarded mastery, and for many, the definitive “git gud” moment of 1.1.
📸 Scene One, Shot One! (Sep 13 – Sep 23, 2024)
The grand finale turned every Proxy into a celluloid poet. With Inter-Knot Level 36 and “Undercover R&B” checked off, Director Connie tasked players with snapping the soul of New Eridu through specialized filters—think of it as painting with light and a deadline. Beyond the event’s own frames, selfies with citizens added a dash of paparazzi charm.
Rewards flowed like a credits reel: Senior Investigator Logs, W-Engine Energy Modules, Bangboo System Widgets, Boopon, Polychromes, and Denny. More than just a checklist, this event encouraged soaking in the world, turning every street corner into a potential postcard. It was the soft exhale after the combat-heavy drills, proof that Zenless Zone Zero’s heart beat just as strongly in quiet moments.
In 2026, these events may be history, but their fingerprints remain on the game’s design philosophy. The 1.1 patch was a masterful loop of low-barrier freebies, skill-testing trials, and world-building vignettes—a mixtape that still hits every emotion. Whether you were there to catch the groove or are just tuning in now, the legend of Version 1.1 stands as a benchmark for what live-service storytelling can be.
