How to Increase Trust in Zenless Zone Zero

Although you need to act professionally as a Proxy, you are still allowed to get close to your agents. Zenless Zone Zero features a Trust system that lets you develop friendships and experience special events with playable characters. With that in mind, here’s how to build Trust in Zenless Zone Zero.

How to Level up Trust In ZZZ

You can level up your Trust via two methods in Zenless Zone Zero, and that’s by chatting with them daily, and by messaging them via the Knock Knock feature. It’s definitely worth investing in this feature as well, as you’ll be able to get some sweet rewards, which I’ll go over later on.

However, you can only get close to agents you own, and you have also encountered them during the main story. For example, I already have Lucy on my account, but I cannot trigger any Trust event since I haven’t met her yet.

Daily Chat

The easiest way to increase your Trust with an agent is by chatting with them. So far, there are four open areas that you can explore in the game, but you will usually find them in Sixth Street, Construction Zone, and Lumina Square.

You can see a grey dialogue bubble above a character’s head if there’s a daily chat event you can trigger. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of these social dialogues, so you may often encounter the same chat several times.

Generally, you want to be supportive and nice to get closer to agents. Be careful not to be rude, or you can lose some Trust points with that character.

Knock Knock

If you want to increase the Trust of a particular character in Zenless Zone Zero, the best way to do it is via the Knock Knock feature. You can access this menu via your phone and then go to the phonebook section. You can invite one agent every in-game day, so you’ll want to make sure to do this everyday to maximize your Trust efficiency.

Unlike daily chat with random locations, you can invite a character to a hangout spot. Each character usually has two options that lead to two separate social events. For example, you can invite Billy to the toy store or the arcade on Sixth Street.

All Trust Rewards in Zenless Zone Zero

Besides upgrade materials, you can get three unique rewards by leveling up your Trust with an agent in Zenless Zone Zero. You can claim these items via the Knock Knock menu and then open the agent profile.

Video Promoter

After you level up the agent’s Trust for the first time, you can unlock them as a video promoter for Random Play. I don’t believe there are any special effects or buffs from each promoter. As long as their mood is Happy, you can select any character to help your store for that day.

Hollow Zero Event

Once you unlock Trust Level 2 with an agent in Zenless Zone Zero, you can encounter a special event with them when you explore Hollow Zero. This event will unlock one Mindscape Cinema of that character for the current round.

Dynamic Wallpaper

The last Trust reward you can get in Zenless Zone Zero is a Dynamic Wallpaper. This is the animation you will encounter whenever you open the main menu. You can change your wallpaper by pressing the left stick button on your controller. Initially, you will only have Wise and Belle available to you, but the other agents will get their own wallpapers as you increase your Trust levels with them.
