ZZZ Surprise Screening Plan: Free Outfit Guide

Zenless Zone Zero's latest login event, Surprise Screening Plan, is now live and gives players a free limited outfit for one of three Agents: Nangong Yu, Aria, or Sunna. The event runs from 2026-09-23 10:00 to 2026-10-20 03:59 (server time), and all you need to do is log in on enough days to meet the cumulative requirement.

If you're tracking the latest Zenless Zone Zero news, this is a straightforward but valuable event—especially if you've been eyeing one of these Agents' alternate looks. The outfits are event-exclusive, meaning they won't be available through other means once the event ends.

Event Details

The Surprise Screening Plan is a cumulative login event. You'll need to log in on a certain number of days during the event period to unlock the reward tiers. The exact number of required login days isn't specified in the official announcement, but typically these events ask for 7 to 14 days of logins spread across the duration.

Once you've met the cumulative login requirement, you must manually claim the rewards on the event page. Don't forget to do this—rewards aren't automatically delivered to your inventory. After all rewards are claimed, the event page will close at 04:00 on the following day (server time).

Outfit Selection

You can choose one of the following limited outfits:

• Nangong Yu: Heartfelt Support
• Aria: Cuteness Loading
• Sunna: Delusions in Business

Each outfit can only be claimed once per Proxy and cannot be claimed repeatedly. Importantly, you do not need to own the corresponding Agent to claim the outfit. If you don't have Sunna, Aria, or Nangong Yu yet, you can still select their outfit and it will be available in the Agent's outfits menu once you obtain them.

Should You Pick an Outfit for an Agent You Don't Own?

This is a common dilemma for free-to-play players. If you don't own any of the three Agents, you might wonder whether it's worth claiming an outfit for a character you may never pull.

Here's the practical advice: if you plan to pull for any of these Agents in the future, grab their outfit now. Limited outfits rarely rerun, and this is a zero-cost opportunity. If you're completely uninterested in all three, you can still claim the outfit as a collector's item—it won't hurt, and you might change your mind later.

For those who already own one or more of these Agents, the choice is easier: pick the outfit for the Agent you use most or the one whose design you prefer. There's no gameplay advantage to any outfit; they are purely cosmetic.

Eligibility and Requirements

Before you can participate, you must meet two conditions:

1. Reach Inter-Knot Lv. 5.
2. Unlock the Event feature in the Main Story Prologue "The Hare and the Proxy".

These are early-game milestones, so most active players will already qualify. If you're brand new, you'll need to progress through the Prologue to unlock events. Inter-Knot Lv. 5 is reached quickly by completing early missions and commissions.

What to Do Now

• Log in daily during the event period to accumulate the required days. Missing a day could delay your reward.
• Decide on your outfit choice early. You can only claim one, so think about which Agent you're most likely to use or pull for.
• Claim your rewards on the event page as soon as you meet the requirement. Don't wait until the last minute—the page closes at 04:00 the day after you claim all rewards.
• Check your Agent's outfits menu after claiming to equip the new look.

Conclusion

The Surprise Screening Plan is a low-effort, high-reward event that costs nothing but a few logins. Whether you're a veteran or a newcomer, securing a free limited outfit is a smart move. Just remember to claim your rewards before the event page closes, and choose your outfit wisely—you only get one.
