Zenless Zone Zero is an Action RPG with a fluid and impactful combat system. Like most of the other Hoyoverse games, players can use different agents to fight in combat. Every Agent can be equipped with Drive Discs and W-Engines to increase their stats. Here is a complete guide on what W-Engines are in Zenless Zone Zero and how you can get them in the game.
What Are W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero
If explained in Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail terms, W-Engines are equivalent to weapons or light cones in ZZZ. Every W-Engine increases the wearer’s Base Attack and comes with a unique advanced stat and a unique W-Engine effect. Also, every Agent only has one W-Engine equipment slot.
The W-Engines are of 4 types, one for each category of Agents. Here are all the W-Engine types in the game:
- Impact W-Engines
- Attack W-Engines
- Anomaly W-Engines
- Support W-Engines
Every W-Engine category can only be used by characters in the same category. For example, an impact Agent like Von Lycaon can only equip Impact W-Engines.
How to Get W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero
W-Engines can be obtained through various means in ZZZ, however, the best W-Engines can only be obtained from W-Engine Signal searches, which are the equivalent of weapon banners in ZZZ. Here are all the ways you can obtain W-Engines in the game:
- Signal Searches
- Residual Exchange in Signal Shop
- Can be purchased at the gadget shop Box Galaxy.
- Completing Proxy Primers.
How to Upgrade W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero
Like weapons and light cones, W-Engines can also be upgraded in Zenless Zone Zero. There are three ways you can up W-Engines:
- Level up using W-Engine Power Sources
- Modify using W-Engine Components (Increasing Level Cap)
- Update using the same W-Engines (Superimpose)
W-Engine Power Sources and W-Engine Modification components can be obtained from the Combat Simulation in HIA. It unlocks soon after finishing the Prologue Chapters in the game.
To update the W-Engines, you need to get multiple copies of the same W-Engine. Every W-Engine can be updated up to 5 stars, which requires four additional copies.
How to Recycle W-Engines in Zenless Zone Zero
If you have too many low-ranked W-Engines in your inventory, you can quickly recycle them into Power sources, which can be used to level up W-Engines. Recycling low-ranked W-Engine is a great way to keep your inventory clutter-free. To recycle W-Engines, here is what you need to do:
- From the gadget shop Box Galaxy.
- From the W-Engine section in the Storage menu.
