zenless zone zero

Area Patrol, formerly known as Routine Cleanup, is a series of combat challenges in Zenless Zone Zero that reward Drive Discs upon completion. Each challenge requires Battery Charge Battery Charge ×60, or Ether Battery Ether Battery ×1 for auto-combat.

To unlock Area Patrol, the player must reach Inter-Knot Level 26 and complete Trace to the Source in Phaethon's Story: Chapter 2.

Area Patrol can be accessed by talking to Roland in the Outpost Interior of Scott Outpost.

Auto Combat

Auto Combat allows the player to consume Ether Batteries to immediately receive rewards for a Combat Simulation or Area Patrol mission. This only applies to missions that cost Battery Charge Battery Charge ×60, and therefore does not apply to custom missions set up in Combat Simulation (which can cost up to 100 Battery Charge).

1 Ether Battery will equal 1 set of rewards from the chosen mission. A maximum of 10 Ether Batteries can be used at one time in Combat Simulation, while for Area Patrol that limit is 4.

Auto Dismantle

Using this system, players can choose to automatically dismantle any Item Rank A-Rank or Item Rank B-Rank Drive Discs they receive from missions.
