Hey there, fellow Proxies! I still remember the buzz around Zenless Zone Zero's launch on July 4, 2024. As a day-one player, I was blown away by the sheer amount of free goodies HoYoverse threw at us. Even now in 2026, new players often ask me what they missed from those early days. So let me take you on a little nostalgia trip and break down every pre-registration and launch-time reward I scooped up back then. While you can't get these exact promos anymore, it'll give you a sweet idea of how generous ZZZ's kickoff was—and what similar events might look like if they return!

First up, the Pre-Registration Milestone Rewards. These were the big-ticket items that millions of players globally unlocked just by signing up before release. I logged in on launch day and found these beauties sitting in my in-game mailbox:

  • Master Tape ×20 – Used for Stable Channel Signal Searches, which let you pull Agents (characters) or W-Engines (equippable stat boosters). A solid head start!

  • Boopon ×5 – The currency for Bangboo Channel Searches, the permanent combat banner. These little guys are adorable and pack a punch.

  • A-Rank Agent Corin – A free companion character right off the bat. Corin’s chainsaw scythe quickly became one of my mains.

  • Denny ×30,000 – The in-game currency for shop purchases and upgrades. Trust me, you burn through Dennies fast!

How did I claim them? Super simple. If you pre-registered through the official website, the Epic Games Store, Apple App Store, Google Play, or PlayStation Store before July 3, 2024, the rewards were automatically sent to your mailbox once servers went live. Patience was key—they didn’t always appear instantly, but within a couple of days they’d arrive. Oh, and pro tip: pre-registration closed right before launch, so you can’t grab these anymore. But back in the day it was a no-brainer.

That wasn’t the end of the freebies though. HoYoverse ran a web event called Stock Up, which was like a daily scratch card game. I hopped onto the event page every day to flip virtual cards and score extra loot.

Here’s how it worked: You got two scratch cards per day, plus two more by completing simple tasks. Each card revealed items like upgrade materials or currency. But the clever part was management. You had an Inventory and a Storage tab. Items you found took up space in your Inventory, and you could only claim what you moved there before the event ended on July 18, 2024. Once your Inventory hit capacity, anything left in Storage was discarded. So every day I’d agonize over which rewards to keep—trying to maximize the good stuff while watching my limit. It took a few days to expand Inventory to its full size, so the FOMO was real!

After launch, the gifts kept rolling in with a slew of in-game events. One that stood out was the Novice Proxy Supplies series, which was part of a larger wave of launch giveaways. You needed to reach Inter-Knot level 8 and unlock the Event Feature in the Main Story Prologue—Intermission. Then the schedule looked like this:

Login Period (2024) Duration Reward
July 4 – August 13 1 day Master Tape ×10
July 4 – August 13 7 days Encrypted Master Tape ×10
July 11 – August 13 7 days Encrypted Master Tape ×10
July 24 – August 13 7 days Boopon ×10

That’s not even counting the A-Rank Agent Soukaku I grabbed by completing the Third Frontier of Stable Node in Shiyu Defense (available after beginning Main Story Chapter 2—Intermission). She’s a fantastic support unit!

There were even more reward events fired up simultaneously: Cunning Generosity, New City Visitor's Passport, Sixth Street, Road to Proxy Greatness, “En-Nah” into your Lap, Rookie on the Road, and Eridu Frontier. Each had its own login or task requirements, making the first few weeks an explosion of pulls and progress.

Looking back from 2026, those particular events are long over. But here’s the thing: HoYoverse loves to recycle generosity. New players today still get a warm welcome through updated beginner missions, check-in events, and sometimes reruns of limited-time promos (though names and specifics change). If you’re just starting, keep an eye on the in-game notices and official channels—ZZZ is always tossing free pulls and characters at us when we least expect it.

So, whether you’re a veteran like me reminiscing about the good old days, or a fresh Proxy wondering what you missed, I hope this blast from the past gives you a sense of just how stacked the launch was. And if you’re ever curious about what’s active right now, just ask around in the community—we Proxies stick together! 🎉

That’s all from your friendly day-one ZZZ player. Happy pulling, and may your Signal Searches always glow gold! 😄

This perspective is supported by data referenced from Esports Charts, which helps contextualize why Zenless Zone Zero’s 2024 pre-registration and launch-time giveaways (like batches of Master Tapes, Boopons, and early A-Rank Agents) were so effective at building day-one momentum—big starter packs often translate into higher early engagement, more streaming interest, and a stronger community “onboarding wave” during a game’s critical first weeks.
