Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass explained
The Basic, Growth and Premium plans explained.
The Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass has quite a few different features to it, so it can be confusing when you first look at it. Also, there's a free reward track for everyone playing and there's a second reward track that can be obtain by purchasing one of two upgrade options.
Using real-world money to purchase any of the Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass upgrades is entirely up to you. If you're spending a lot of time in-game and are committed to Levelling up the Battle Pass then yes, it could be worth the money. However if you're a casual player, with the current length of the season, it's worth thinking about just sticking to the free track.
To help you make an informed decision, here's everything you need to know about the Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass. This includes, how to find the Battle Pass, how to purchase levels, explaining the Growth and Premium Plans, as well as explaining the Great Builder's Certificate.

How to find the Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass
To find the Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass you can use your shortcut menu in the top right corner of your screen and select, or use the indicated prompt underneath, the Green Icon. This will take you straight to the New Eridu City Fund (Battle Pass) homepage.
Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass explained
The Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass is called the New Eridu City Fund, it's likely you've already come across this and claimed rewards from this as you play through the first few hours of the story.
Battle Pass tracks
The Battle Pass itself has a free track that's unlocked for everyone with no payment needed and completing different levels on this track can get you a plethora of rewards that include useful crafting materials needed to upgrade W-Engines, Drive Discs or even enhance Agent Attributes.
However, it also has a second track that's only available if you purchase either the Growth Plan or Premium Plan using real-world money (no Dennies accepted!). If you choose to buy this you will have access to the extra rewards on this track once you hit each marked level. This is alongside the free track that everyone has access to.
You can see when the current Battle Pass season ends by looking in the bottom left corner of the main Battle Pass menu.
How to climb levels in the Battle Pass
You can climb levels in the Battle Pass by collecting City Fund EXP. This can be obtained by completing Expansion Tasks - you can view your list of these tasks by entering the Battle Pass screen and selecting the 'Expansion Tasks' tab in the top right corner.
On the next screen, you'll see that there are three different types of Expansion Tasks for you to complete:
- Daily Tasks - These refresh daily at 4am server time
- Weekly Tasks - These refresh weekly at 4am server time every Monday.
- Seasonal Tasks - These remain until the current season ends.
You can also use this screen to claim EXP for any tasks you've completed.
There is a weekly limit on how much City Fund EXP you can earn through Daily and Weekly tasks, so farming it isn't really possible. You can earn up to 10,000 City Fund EXP each week. You can see how close you are to this limit on the left side of the main Battle Pass Menu.
Also, once you reach the maximum level cap for the New Eridu City Fund you won't be able to earn any more EXP!
Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass Purchase Levels option explained
If you're struggling to reach your goal on any Battle Pass reward track you're on, then there is a way you can boost your levels without completing many EXP tasks, but it will cost you a fair amount of hard-earned materials.
On the left side of the main Battle Pass menu you should see an option to 'Purchase Levels'. Select this, or use the prompted command to open it, and a small menu will appear in the middle of your screen. This will tell you what Level you'll be boosted to if you choose to purchase them and the rewards you can obtain for doing so.
The cost of purchasing these Levels will be at the bottom of this small menu. In the case of the image below, it'll cost us a significant amount of Polychrome.
If you're happy with the cost, simply press confirm to purchase the Levels to bounce your way up the Battle Pass.

Zenless Zone Zero Battle Pass Great Builder's Certificate explained
If you buy either the Growth Plan or the Premium Plan and reach Level 30 in the Battle Pass, you can claim a Great Builder's Certificate.
This Certificate can be used to get any W-Engine reward from the New Eridu City Fund: City Fund Benefits menu. This can be found by entering the main Battle Pass menu and selecting the tab in the far top right corner of the screen.
However, the Certificate is a time-limited reward and it will not be kept for the next Battle Pass season. It will expire when the new season begins, and you will not get it back - so spend it when you get it!
