Zenless Zone Zero is different as well as similar in many expects to other Hoyoverse games. While playing the game, you may have come across Drive Discs. Agents can equip these to increase their base stats and they also have set effects that provide passive buffs to the Agents. Here is a complete guide on what Drive Discs are in Zenless Zone Zero, and how to get and upgrade them.
What Are Drive Discs in Zenless Zone Zero
Drive Discs in Zenless Zone Zero are equivalent to Artifacts or Relics, and they can be equipped by Agents to increase their base stats or have a passive set effect bonus. There are six Drive Disc equip slots in ZZZ and the first three always have the same base stats, while the last three have randomized base stats.
Every Drive Disc is part of a set, and equipping the Drive Discs from the same set provides passive buffs to the characters. Each Drive Disc set has a 2-piece or 4-piece set effect, so every Agent can either have one 4-piece and one 2-piece set effects of different Drive Discs or have three different 2-piece set effects.
How to Get Drive Discs in Zenless Zone Zero
Initially, you won’t find a way to get Drive Discs in the game. You can obtain Drive Discs using the music store Bardic Needle and tune new random Drive Discs. The music store Bardic Needle unlocks after finishing Chapter 2 of the Story Commissions, around Inter-Knot level 30.
Once you have unlocked the Bardic Needle, you can farm the Drive Discs from the Routine Cleanup Training section, which also unlocks around the same time. The rarity of the Drive Discs in Bardic Needle is based on your Inter-Knot level. From Level 40 and above you can obtain S-Rank Drive Discs from the Routine Cleanup training. Other than the music store, you can also get Drive Discs by completing certain in-game missions.
