How Routine Cleanup Works in Zenless Zone Zero

Routine Cleanup lets you farm specific Drive Discs by battling enemies in your VR Device. Each stage has different enemies and effects so choose wisely based on what you need.

To start a run you’ll need 60 Battery Charge. The higher the difficulty the better the rewards so try to challenge yourself when you can.

Tips for Success

  • Match your team to the stage’s boosted attributes for extra damage
  • Pay attention to effects and adjust your strategy accordingly
  • Start with lower difficulties and work your way up as you get stronger
  • Farm specific discs by choosing stages that drop what you need.

Besides Drive Discs Routine Cleanup also gives you Plating Agents. These are useful materials you’d normally get from the Bardic Needle Music Store.

Routine Cleanup Difficulty and Progression

Routine Cleanup challenges start at level 30 and go up to level 60 with a 10-level gap between each. You’ll get more rewards as you tackle higher difficulties, but the fights will be tougher.

Make sure to level up your characters and gear before taking on harder stages. It’ll make your farming run much smoother.

Routine Cleanup is an excellent endgame activity in Zenless Zone Zero. It gives you a reliable way to farm important materials while providing a good challenge.

Remember to check back often as the available stages might change. Keep pushing yourself to higher difficulties and you’ll be swimming in Drive Discs in no time!
