ZZZ 2.5 | New Agents

>Ye Shunguang

Ye Shunguang is a Physical Attack agent with two forms. When she activates her Ultimate, she enters her second form and gains an entirely new set of skills. She is not yet available in the current beta, but based on existing information, she is expected to team up with Dialyn and Zhao.

>Zhao

Zhao is an Ice Defense Agent from the Krampus Compliance Authority, capable of providing teammates with various basic stat boosts and damage increases, while also restoring additional HP every second.

You can check the detailed information about Zhao in this article:

ZZZ 2.5 | New Co-Op Mode

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 introduces a new Co-Op Mode, allowing players to matchmake, form teams with distinct roles (DPS/Break/Support), and clear various PvE missions such as Annihilation, Elemental Domains, Timed Challenges, Treasure Hunts, and a Final Battle.

The mode includes team objectives, optional conditions, preset communication messages, and both personal and global progression. Players can also build temporary buffs through cards, emblems, and Co-Op–exclusive gear.

Several Agents—Miyabi, Yixuan, Ellen, Soldier 11, Yanagi, Qingyi, Lighter, Astra, Lucia, and Ye Shunguang—have unique Co-Op equipment.

Astra, Lucia, and Lighter receive special reworks tailored for Co-Op teamwork, improving support, DEF-shred, healing, and multi-attribute buffs. Overall, Co-Op emphasizes coordinated roles, shared progression, and team-based mechanics.

We'll be visiting Pursenas Hollow in 2.5, as we have four new explorable maps of this location, all with cooperative mode. I've seen spawn points for up to four players.

We'll also see new maps:

• [Hollow] Qingming Secret Realm

• Three more maps that don't have full names yet

ZZZ 2.5 | New Social System

The ZZZ 2.5 Beta adds a major Social System with two parts: the Proxy Intelligence Hub and the Intel Board. Players can join stations, chat, complete social activities, and earn Station Points to level up stations and unlock features.

The Intel Board acts as a co-op commission system where players can post or accept missions such as Notorious Hunts, Challenge Rooms, and Deep Dive Investigations.

Completing commissions grants Carrot Points (used for shop rewards) and Station Credibility (for ranks and titles).

Players can join up to 10 stations, each with up to 50 members, and stations provide tags, feeds, and progression.

The Forum Identity System rewards players with EXP and titles for helping others. Overall, this update adds a full social structure with cooperative missions, progression layers, and a new reward economy.

ZZZ 2.5 | New Shiyu Defense Rule

The Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 Beta update brings a significant rework to the Shiyu Defense Battle, changing both its structure and scoring mechanics.

Below is a clear breakdown of all stage changes, scoring rules, challenge goals, and rewards to help you prepare for the new format.

The Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 beta introduces major changes to the Shiyu Defense Battle, mainly reworking Stage 5.

Stages 1–4 remain the same with two routes each and an S rating for clearing within 5 minutes.

Stage 5 is now a three-room point-based mode, each room lasting 5 minutes and capped at 60,000 points.

Damage dealt and enemies defeated grant points, and early damage benefits from strong time-based score multipliers.

For ratings, a single room needs 25,000 points for S, while achieving S in all rooms grants an S rating overall, and reaching 90,000 total points gives S+.

Rewards include Polychrome for Stages 1–4, and additional Polychrome or Awakening Currency for Stage 5 based on rank.

Overall, the new Stage 5 heavily favors burst damage and efficient room selection.

To earn top scores, focus on high-damage builds and plan your room order strategically.

ZZZ 2.5 | New Enemy

> New Story Boss Miasma

• Base 60 DEF (normal DEF)

• 200% Stun DMG Multiplier, 12s Stun

• 20% Physical RES

• 40% Ether and Ice DMG RES

• 37.5% Base Buildup

• Unfreezable

-2nd Boss

• Base 60 DEF

• 200% Stun DMG Multiplier, 12s Stun

• 20% Ether and Physical RES

• 20% Fire RES

• 25% Base Buildup

• Unfreezable

-New Boss Live Showcase

-Miasma Shield Rework

• Due to being an Attack-Specialty oriented boss, its Miasma Shield stats are quite different than normal.

• Default Miasma Shield: +80% DEF, 25% DMG Reduction

• It still grants Energy/Adrenaline upon destroying it as usual, just its stats are retuned due to the change in its DEF stat.

• Boss cannot accumulate Daze while it has a [Corrupted Shield]. After the shield is reduced by a certain amount, it will actively switch back to its normal state.

• After the Boss accumulates a certain amount of Daze, it will once again actively switch back into the [Corrupted Shield] state.

• Use [Perfect Dodge] or [Dodge Assist] to avoid the Boss’s grab attack.

• Use [Perfect Dodge], [Parry Assist], or [Dodge Assist] to deal with the Boss’s multi-hit attacks.

-Additional Notes:

Before this Boss can enter Daze, you must break the Corrupted Shield for that phase. Otherwise, when its Daze reaches 99, it will forcibly enter the Corrupted Shield state until the shield is broken.

After the Boss recovers from its first break, it will unleash a purple-light attack. Regardless of whether you dodge the first hit, you will be pulled into a time-stop domain similar to Black Hugo’s. This attack consists of five hits in total.

If you dodge/parry all five hits, the message “Perfect Counter!!” will appear. Using Crisis Stage 1 as an example, it will deal 3,246,724 damage to the Boss.

>Other Enemy

The name is currently unknown — it’s an enemy that resembles a type of scorpion.

ZZZ 2.5 | Ether Battery Synthesis Function

• 60 Backup Battery Charge + 1 Prepaid Power Card can be exchanged for 1 Ether Battery.

• Batteries can now be used to sweep (auto-clear) Regular Purge (Drive Disk stages).

ZZZ 2.5 | New UI System

Zenless Zone Zero will introduce a new UI in Version 2.5. By opening the side panel, you can quickly teleport or access various features. You can also change the wallpaper and charms for this side panel—similar to how it works in Honkai: Star Rail.

ZZZ 2.5 | Old Charaters Buffs

In ZZZ 2.5.0 beta, five existing Agents receive buffs, and a new Potential System is introduced, unlocking additional abilities and stat bonuses. A new co-op mode also lets players team up to clear certain stages and earn buffs.

Five Agents receive upgrades:

• Soldier 11 & Grace get major kit/mechanic additions.

• Ellen & Soldier 0 – Anby receive moderate stat-based buffs.

• Burnice details are still unknown.

Potentials can be purchased with Awakening Currency from weekly and challenge content. The system's first stage adds new mechanics, while later stages mostly improve stats.

More info on Burnice is coming soon.

ZZZ 2.5 | 404 livehouse Event

In "Muse's Musings -4/6", the Proxy needs to help Angels of Delusion members find musical inspiration.

The Proxy needs to set out with the little idols of Angels of Delusion. During gameplay, they will discover interesting content, listen to inspiration fragments created by the Proxy, and take photos for this music as accompanying images.

ZZZ 2.5 | Antique Shop

This appears to be an entirely new exploration gameplay feature. You’ll need to collect various items and complete a series of tasks to increase your Exploration Level and earn rewards.

There’s currently no leaked information about the exact mechanics, but I suspect it may be related to the new maps or the Co-Op Mode.

Conclusion

Zenless Zone Zero 2.5 is packed with content, and I can hardly wait to dive in. The events at 404 LiveHouse also hint that the AOD faction will make its debut in 2.6, which is very exciting. If you want to pull for Ye Shunguang, don’t miss Dialyn in version 2.4.
