How to Get and Use Gear Coins in Zenless Zone Zero

If you're blankly staring at a purple or orange Supply Box asking you for yet another obscure currency in Zenless Zone Zero, then this guide on how to get Gear Coins is for you.

If you're struggling to get Gear Coins in Zenless Zone Zero, this guide will help you out.

Gear Coins are a special currency in Zenless Zone Zero that can be used to open Elite Investigator Supply Boxes and Senior Investigator Supply Boxes. These boxes contain valuable resources, such as Agent upgrade materials, but they can only be opened with Gear Coins.

To get Gear Coins, you need to complete Deep Dive System Story, Exploration, and Combat Commissions in the Hollow. You can start these challenges by interacting with the computer in the Video Club.

As you navigate the TV screen-filled puzzles, you might encounter a golden Resource Event TV screen called Gear Coin Base. When you interact with these screens, they give you a large amount of Gear Coins. The amount can vary from 500 to 1,500 in the earlier levels.

Keep in mind that as soon as you exit an Exploration, you lose all the accumulated Gear Coins, so it's wise to spend them before you leave.

Alternatively, you can get even more Gear Coins from Golden Bangboos during Exploration commissions. These are sneaky beings that you must trap and catch to squeeze the Gear Coins out of them. That said, these appearances are limited to a few side quests and are not a common occurrence.

To open Supply Boxes, you need from 500 to 35,000 Gear Coins. Usually, you can find enough Gear Coins to open all Supply Boxes in an Exploration level, but you'll have to solve a puzzle or explore thoroughly to get them.

Remember, your Gear Coins don't stack up from one commission to the next, so look for a Supply Box nearby before leaving a level.
