As a Proxy navigating the chaotic yet captivating streets of New Eridu, I know that every resource counts in this last bastion of civilization. That's why the recent announcement of a special preview code for Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 was like finding a hidden cache of supplies in a hollowed-out storefront—unexpected, immensely valuable, and time-sensitive. HoYoverse, the masterminds behind this action-packed RPG, has once again opened the vault for players, offering a bundle of free goodies through a promotional code tied to their version preview stream. While the stream itself detailed the upcoming adventures, the immediate prize was a batch of Polychromes, the game's premium currency, which serves as the golden key to unlocking new agents and powerful W-Engines through the gacha system.

The Loot Breakdown: A Proxy's Windfall

The redemption code, active for a limited window, provided a substantial boost to any player's inventory. Claiming it before its expiration was as crucial as dodging a Hollow's attack at the last second. The haul included:

  • Polychromes x300: The star of the show. This premium currency is the lifeblood of the summoning system, and 300 units is a significant chunk toward securing a new character or weapon.

  • Senior Investigator Log x2: Essential items for leveling up your agents, acting like specialized training manuals that accelerate growth.

  • W-Engine Energy Module x3: Fuel for your agents' iconic weapons, ensuring they remain combat-ready for the challenges within the reality-bending Hollows.

  • Dennies x30,000: The standard in-game currency, useful for a multitude of upgrades and purchases, flowing into your account like coins from a cracked-open arcade machine.

How to Redeem: Your Guide to the Goods

Fortunately, HoYoverse made the redemption process straightforward, offering multiple avenues to secure your loot. The primary method is directly within the game itself:

  1. Log into Zenless Zone Zero and load into New Eridu.

  2. Open the in-game menu (typically accessed via an icon on the screen).

  3. Navigate to and select the 'More' option.

  4. Choose 'Redemption Code' from the list.

  5. Enter the active code and apply it. The rewards will be sent directly to your in-game mailbox for collection.

For those who prefer to manage things outside the client, the code could also be activated through the official HoYoverse website or via the HoYoLAB community app. This multi-platform approach ensured that no Proxy, whether they were taking a quick break on their phone or settled in for a console session, would miss out.

Why This Matters: Gearing Up for Version 1.5

This giveaway wasn't just a random act of generosity; it was a strategic prelude to the content unveiled in the Version 1.5 preview. HoYoverse often uses these codes to build excitement and ensure the player base is adequately prepared for new challenges. With Version 1.5 promising new character banners—which are like tantalizing, limited-time exhibitions of powerful new allies—having a stockpile of Polychromes becomes paramount. The free currency allows players, especially free-to-play or casual spenders, to participate in the new content cycle without immediate financial investment. It's a system that, when executed well, feels rewarding and fosters goodwill within the community.

Looking Ahead: New Eridu Awaits

While securing the free loot is the immediate priority, the real excitement lies in what Version 1.5 will bring to New Eridu. As a Proxy, my work is never done. The Hollows—those massive tears in reality—continue to pose a threat, and rumors of new factions, story chapters, and combat mechanics are always swirling in the air like the neon-lit haze of the city's districts. These preview events and their accompanying codes are our first official glimpse into the next chapter of this urban fantasy saga. They're not just about the resources; they're about the promise of new adventures, harder bosses that loom like monolithic skyscrapers of pure malice, and the constant evolution of our role as protectors (or explorers) of this fractured world.

In the ever-competitive landscape of live-service games, these gestures by HoYoverse demonstrate an understanding of player engagement. As we approach 2026, the practice of tying meaningful rewards to update previews has become a staple, and Zenless Zone Zero executes it with style. So, fellow Proxies, keep your communicators charged and your redemption reflexes sharp. The next code could drop at any moment, and in the perilous beauty of New Eridu, being prepared is the only way to survive and thrive.
