Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Events Guide: Their Secret Histories Free Rewards 2026

Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 "Their Secret Histories" has been live since September 9, 2026, and the event panel is still mostly empty. That's not a bug. Only three of the eleven in-game events were open on update day, which means ZZZ Their Secret Histories free rewards sit behind dates that haven't arrived yet. This Zenless Zone Zero events guide walks you through the full Zenless Zone Zero event schedule for 3.2, what each ZZZ 3.2 free rewards track actually pays, and the order that keeps you from losing pulls to a missed deadline.

If you're a Proxy trying to bank Encrypted Master Tapes for Claret or Nangong Yu, the calendar matters as much as your pity count. Here's how to work it.

What Makes the Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Event Calendar Different

Version 3.2 runs 42 days, from 2026/09/09 06:00 to 2026/10/21 06:00 (UTC+8). HoYoverse's official update notice states that plainly, and every deadline below hangs off that stamp. Long version, short events.

Nine of the eleven in-game events close before the version itself ends. Four shut at 2026/10/19 03:59 server time, and three more at 2026/10/20 03:59. Seven events expire inside a single 24-hour band, a full day before 3.3 arrives. Plan one late catch-up session for October 21, and you'll watch rewards vanish while the version is still technically running.

The lone exception runs the other way. Angels Support Operation stays open until 2026/11/30 03:59, roughly 40 days past the end of 3.2 and well into Version 3.3.

One more thing worth knowing: event windows are listed in server time, which follows your region's clock, not your own time zone. On America or Europe servers, the in-game countdown is the only number you should trust in an event's final hours.

So how much of the patch is actually open right now? Less than a third.

Step 1: Claim the Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Update Compensation First

Start here because it's the only reward that arrives without you doing anything.

Log in after maintenance and open your in-game mail.
Claim Polychrome ×300 for the server update.
Claim Polychrome ×300 for issue fixes.
Verify that you hit Inter-Knot Lv. 4 before 2026/09/09 06:00 (UTC+8).

That 600 Polychrome is the base layer of Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 free rewards, and it's easy to leave sitting in a mailbox you forgot to open because both of the compensation mails expire 30 days after delivery. The server-update Polychrome can be claimed until the end of the version, but the issue-fix Polychrome has a hard cutoff of 2026/10/09 23:59 (UTC+8). In practice, claim both by around October 9 and stop thinking about it.

Step 2: Clear the Log-In Events Before Anything Else

Two Zenless Zone Zero events pay purely for showing up, and neither can be made up later.

Open the event panel after the 3.2 update.
Enter the All-New Program and log in for 7 total days to receive Encrypted Master Tape ×10.
Return on 2026/09/30 10:00 for "En-Nah" Into Your Lap.
Log in for 7 more total days to receive Boopon ×10.

The days don't have to be consecutive, but they do have to happen. All-New Program closes 2026/10/20 03:59, and the Boopon event shares the same cutoff after opening late on September 30. A two-week break mid-patch can cost you both. Ten Encrypted Master Tapes is roughly ten Signal Searches on the Exclusive and W-Engine Channels, so this is the single biggest free pull source in the version.

Step 3: Work Through the Event Schedule in Order

The rest of the Zenless Zone Zero event schedule opens in waves rather than on day one, so here's the full sequence with server-time windows pulled straight from the official HoYoverse notices.

Event	Starts	Ends
All-New Program	After the 3.2 update	2026/10/20 03:59
Angels Support Operation	After the 3.2 update	2026/11/30 03:59
Potential Hypothesis: Reforged in Fire	After the 3.2 update	End of Version 3.2
Clink, Clank, Pinball Knight!	2026/09/10 10:00	2026/10/19 03:59
Shadow Chase Showdown	2026/09/16 10:00	2026/10/05 03:59
Advanced Bounty: Area Patrol	2026/09/23 04:00	2026/09/28 03:59
Surprise Screening Plan	2026/09/23 10:00	2026/10/20 03:59
Diary of an Orbie Parent	2026/09/30 10:00	2026/10/19 03:59
"En-Nah" Into Your Lap	2026/09/30 10:00	2026/10/20 03:59
Chronicles of the Hobbling Crow	2026/10/03 10:00	2026/10/19 03:59
Data Bounty: Combat Simulation	2026/10/14 04:00	2026/10/19 03:59

Shadow Chase Showdown deserves a spot on your calendar now, not later. It opened 2026/09/16 10:00 and closes 2026/10/05 03:59, two weeks ahead of the crowd. It's the version's scored combat event, built on nine VR Challenge stages, and Special Offensive stages score Technique Combos by launching different techniques with Claret inside a set window. You don't need to own her. The official notice confirms those stages run with trial Agents only, and Alliance stages let you pick from the trial roster and Bangboo.

The two bounty weeks are the quiet value picks. Advanced Bounty: Area Patrol doubles Area Patrol rewards from 2026/09/23 to 2026/09/28, and Data Bounty: Combat Simulation does the same for Combat Simulation from 2026/10/14 to 2026/10/19. Both are pure multipliers on content you'd run anyway, and both need prep. Area Patrol specifically wants Inter-Knot Lv. 21 before you can start.

Step 4: Pick Your Free Outfit Through Angels Support Operation

This is the one event with a deadline that stretches past the version, and the reward is cosmetic but genuinely free.

Reach Inter-Knot Lv. 20 and clear Main Story Chapter 1 Intermission.
Complete the limited-time missions as they open across 3.2 and 3.3.
Claim your chosen outfit before the event period ends.

You're picking one of three Angels of Delusion outfits: Nangong Yu: Heartfelt Support, Aria: Cuteness Loading, or Sunna: Delusions in Business. The official notice confirms you can claim an outfit for an Agent you don't own, which softens the whole "should I pull first" question. There's a catch worth repeating in full: rewards won't be reissued if you haven't claimed them before the event ends. Completing the mission isn't the same as collecting the prize.

Surprise Screening Plan, opening 2026/09/23 10:00, is the second route to an Angels of Delusion outfit. It's a check-in event that also pays an avatar and Polychromes, and it needs Inter-Knot Lv. 5 plus the Main Story Prologue.

Step 5: Grab the Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Rewards Outside the Game

Three of the version's reward tracks don't live in the event panel at all, and all three close early.

Twitch Drops: Denny ×12,000 at 15 minutes watched, Senior Investigator Log ×2 at 30, W-Engine Energy Module ×3 at 45, Bangboo System Widget ×2 at 60, and Polychrome ×50 at 120 minutes total. Runs September 9 to September 30, 23:59:59 (UTC+8). Link Twitch to your ZZZ account first.

Vyrium Vacation Album: a HoYoLAB web event with a guaranteed Polychrome ×30 and a drawing for 100 Angels of Delusion plush toys. Runs September 9 to October 10.
Operation: Hollow Tycoon: a HoYoLAB prize event running September 13 to September 27, 23:59 (UTC+8), drawing Bangboo Garden Kingdom Mini Surprise Box ×5 sets. Winners are announced on October 16.

Operation: Hollow Tycoon closes at the earliest of anything in the version, on September 27. Twitch Drops follow on September 30, then Vyrium Vacation Album on October 10. If you only do one thing this week, post your best extraction run for Hollow Tycoon and turn on Twitch before you sleep.

Step 6: Spend Your Pulls Without Wasting Pity

Pity treatment is the part most players guess wrong, and HoYoverse has answered it directly. The official Phase I channel notice states the guaranteed signal count is cumulative across all Exclusive Channels, but independent of other channel types. Translated: Phase I progress isn't stranded when the featured Agent changes, and Exclusive versus W-Engine progress is tracked separately.

Decide now if you're chasing Claret or holding your tapes for Roxy.
Pull only on Exclusive Channels if you want pity to carry forward.
Keep W-Engine pulls on their own mental ledger.
Clear the log-in events even if you skip the current banner.

That last point matters. Encrypted Master Tapes don't expire, so banking ten of them now costs you nothing and buys flexibility when the next banner lands. Spend them only on channels you've verified on the in-game details page, and treat account privacy as non-negotiable. HoYoverse never asks for credentials through event pages, so any site requesting them is a red flag.

If you're chasing ZZZ 3.2 rewards mainly to fund pulls, treat this as the step where planning pays off. A missed event costs you tapes; a careless login link costs you the account.

Tips for Not Losing Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Rewards

Treat October 19 as your real deadline. Seven events expire between October 19 and 20, and none of them care that the version runs to the 21st.
Clear calendar events first. Log-in days can't be compressed, so no amount of grinding on the final weekend recovers them.
Sleep on the bounty weeks at your peril. Both run under five days, and Advanced Bounty: Area Patrol is the shortest window in the patch.
Screenshot your claim confirmations. One of the more annoying failure modes is completing a mission and forgetting the claim step, which the Angels Support Operation notice explicitly says can't be fixed.

Troubleshooting Common 3.2 Event Problems

An event isn't showing up. Most of the version's content is gated behind story or level requirements. Shadow Chase Showdown, Diary of an Orbie Parent, and Chronicles of the Hobbling Crow all want Inter-Knot Lv. 20 plus Main Story Chapter 1 Intermission, and the two bounty events have stricter asks: Area Patrol needs Lv. 21 and the "Path of the Proxy I" Reputation mission.

You missed the All-New Program window. You can't recover log-in days. Move on and protect "En-Nah" Into Your Lap instead, since it opens later and closes on the same date.

Compensation mail already expired. Mails expire 30 days after delivery, which lands around October 9 for the update drops. There's no reissue, so future patches are worth logging in on day one.

The in-game timer disagrees with a guide. Trust the timer. Event windows use server time, so a guide written for a different region can be off by hours.

Keeping the client current is half the battle, since 3.2 pushed a roughly five-hour maintenance window and all event unlocks depend on being on the latest build.
