8 080What Zenless Zone Zero Top Ups Can You Buy?
The Zenless Zone Zero top up market covers everything from premium currency to monthly subscriptions and seasonal Battle Pass tiers. Most of what's available falls into these four categories:
Monochrome: the game's premium currency, purchased with real money and converted 1:1 into Polychrome for gacha pulls, cosmetics, and shop purchases. Standard pack sizes range from 60 Monochrome ($0.99) through mid-tier options at 300 ($4.99), 980 ($14.99), and 1,980 ($29.99) Monochrome, up to 3,280 ($49.99) and 6,480 ($99.99) bundles for players saving for a limited banner. Every tier gives a substantial first-purchase double bonus, effectively doubling your Monochrome on the initial buy at each pack size.
Inter-Knot Membership: ZZZ's version of the monthly pass at $4.99 per month. Delivers 300 Monochrome immediately plus 90 Polychrome daily for 30 days, for a total of 3,000 Polychrome per month (roughly 18 Signal Search pulls). Widely considered the best sustained cost-per-pull value in the game, provided you actually log in daily to claim the drip rewards.
Why Buy a Zenless Zone Zero Top Up?
Zenless Zone Zero is free-to-play, but its progression and gacha economy is built around Polychrome for pulls and Monochrome for shop purchases. Free players can earn Polychrome through events, exploration, and dailies, but topping up is how most players actually stack enough for the S-Rank Agents and W-Engines they want. Here's what buying a top up actually gets you:
Cheaper prices than the official store: third-party marketplaces frequently list the same Monochrome packs at 10% to 30% below official HoYoverse pricing. On larger bundles like the 6,480 Monochrome pack, that discount adds up to real money savings on the same content.
First-purchase double bonuses: every Monochrome tier gives a substantial bonus on the first purchase at that specific pack size, effectively doubling your Monochrome (for example, 60 → 120, 300 → 600). The first-purchase double bonus on all tiers was reset once with Version 3.1 in August 2026, letting long-time players claim the doubled amount again on each tier. Future resets are not guaranteed and depend on HoYoverse.
Timed banner planning: ZZZ's limited-time character banners run on a version schedule, and topping up before a targeted banner drops means you have Polychrome on hand for launch day pulls rather than scrambling mid-banner.
Battle Pass progression: seasonal Battle Passes deliver rewards that expire at version end. Buying early in the version maximizes value since you have the full window to earn every tier and claim all the Polychrome, Encrypted Master Tapes, and Agent materials.
Convenience purchases: Monochrome also covers Outfits and event-limited bundles that occasionally offer strong value on cosmetics or materials.
What Can You Buy With Monochrome in Zenless Zone Zero?
Monochrome covers almost every paid feature in Zenless Zone Zero. Here's what your balance actually spends on:
Signal Search pulls: the main use for most players. Monochrome converts 1:1 into Polychrome, and every 160 Polychrome equals one Signal Search on any banner. That works out to 1,600 Polychrome for a 10-pull. Standard banner pulls use Master Tapes, and limited character banner pulls use Encrypted Master Tapes.
Bangboo banner pulls: Bangboos have their own dedicated banner that costs 1 Boopon per pull (10 Boopons for a 10-pull). Boopons cannot be purchased directly with Monochrome or Polychrome. They're earned separately through events, HoYoLAB web events, the Bangbuck exchange in the Signal Shop, Hollow Zero, Battle Pass, and login rewards.
Inter-Knot Membership and Battle Pass purchases: Monochrome can be used in-game to activate the monthly pass or unlock the New Eridu City Fund tiers, though most players buy these directly with real money for the better rate.
Outfits and cosmetics: Agent Outfits, skins, and cosmetic bundles sold in the shop. Some are permanent additions, while others are limited-time and only return sporadically.
Bundle Shop specials: rotating bundles that combine various rewards at bundled pricing, often offering better value than individual purchases during specific promotional windows.
