Drive Discs are essential items inZenless Zone Zerothat boost an Agent’s stats like W-Engines, but you must reach certain parts of the game to unlock them. Although each Agent can only equip one W-Engine at a time, they can have up to six Drive Discs as part of their loadout. When trying to create solid builds, players need to consider both of these elements to get the most out of theplayableZenless Zone Zerocharactersavailable.
Obtainable in sets,Drive Discs also provide powerful bonuses depending on whether you equip two or four pieces from each one. This means that it’s ideal to find as many sets as possible to optimizevarious pullableZZZAgentsyou might want to send into the Hollows best. There are multiple ways to get more Drive Discs once unlocked, but it will take a bit of effort first.

How To Unlock Drive Discs In Zenless Zone Zero
Keep Playing The Story
Zenless Zone Zeroplayers will unlock the ability to use Drive Discsafter the Inter-Knot Reputation Rank-Up Trial in Chapter 1 The Intermission; this will take roughly 9 to 10 hours of playing through the game’s main story. To participate in the trial, you must increase your Inter-Knot level to 20 and obtain 40 pieces of Observation Data. After the mission, go back to the sibling ofyour playable protagonistin Random Play, and you’ll have your first set of ZZZ Drive Discs to equip - Shockstar Disco.
Drive Discs inZZZcan also be tuned (crafted) once players open Bardic Needle - a music store opposite Random Play on Sixth Street which unlocks at Inter-Knot Level 25.Disk Drives can also be earned as rewards for completing Routine Cleanup missionsafter the Chapter 2 story mission, “Trace to the Source” and reaching Inter-Knot Level 26.
There are also Rally Commissions which are unlocked later in the story. Rally Commissions, Routine Cleanup, and dismantling Drive Discs at Bardic Needle also reward you with Plating Agents - the material needed for crafting more.
Plating Agents can also be used to enhance Drive Discs, similar to the way it’s done for W-Engines and for promoting Agents. Be sure to earn enough to fully enhance those in a build to properly buff your favorite character.
How To Use Drive Discs in ZZZ
Three Levels Of Buffs
All Drive Discs inZenless Zone Zerocome in four-piece sets - each piece with the potential to be enhanced and increase an Agent’s main stat, along with additional buffs depending on how many of in the same set have been equipped.
Comparable to Artifacts, this would be another example ofhowZenless Zone Zerois likeGenshin Impact.Each set’s first bonus passively activates when two pieces are equipped in the Equipment section, followed by another bonus when all four pieces have been added.
Taking the above Shockstar Disco, for example, two Drive Discs from its set will increase Impact Damage by 6%. But adding all four pieces implements an even bigger buff of increasing Daze inflicted by Basic Attacks, Dodge Attacks, and Dodge Counters by 20%.
Unlocking these important W-Engine Core pairings takes a lot more effort thanmastering the Pity Systemif you want to start perfecting character builds. Nevertheless, by playing through enough of the campaign and increasing yourZenless Zone ZeroInter-Knot level, eventually unlocking Drive Discs is more than worth the effort.
