This Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 banners timeline covers the final week of the version: the 06:00 on October 21 end time and the 42-day cycle, the two login deadlines at 03:59 on October 20 and 03:59 on October 19, and the official Leveling Guide preview added on 2026-10-10 that already shows the material types and totals the next Agent will need. A countdown checklist closes the piece.More Zenless Zone Zero guides at gghubs.com.
Applicable version: 3.2 "Their Secret Histories" (live 2026-09-09, ends 2026-10-21 at 06:00)
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Timeline: The Version Ends on October 21
Version 3.2 began when maintenance finished at 06:00 (UTC+8) on 2026-09-09 and ends at 06:00 (UTC+8) on 2026-10-21, a 42-day cycle . A 42-day version feels roomy, but the events inside it are not spread evenly across it.
Three hard checkpoints remain
The first is 03:59 on October 19, when doubled Combat Simulation rewards and three sign-in activities close together. The second is 03:59 on October 20, when both login reward sets expire. The third is 06:00 on October 21, when the version itself ends . Because they do not line up, the later ones are easy to treat as still-open.
Why not wait until the last day
Only about a day separates October 19 from October 21. If doubled runs, sign-in days, and login rewards all land in that gap, there is no room for error. Starting today is the safer play because all three are use-it-or-lose-it rewards, and that outranks any long-term build plan.
Zenless Zone Zero Free Pulls: 10 Encrypted Tapes and 10 Boopons
Two campaigns use the same seven-day login format but feed different systems.
All-New Broadcast: 10 Encrypted Tapes
During All-New Broadcast, logging in for seven cumulative days grants 10 Encrypted Tapes. The window runs from the 3.2 update until 03:59 on 2026-10-20 (server time), and requires Inter-Knot level 5 plus clearing the prologue "Rabbit and Rope" to unlock the Events feature . Tapes go to limited channels, which makes them the last thing you want to waste at the end of a version.
"Ehn" From the Sky: 10 Boopons
The same campaign shape grants 10 Boopons, running from 10:00 on 2026-09-30 to 03:59 on 2026-10-20 (server time) under identical requirements . Boopons feed the Bangboo system and do not compete with Agent channels, so both campaigns can run in parallel.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Deadline Table
Only events inside 3.2 with deadlines after October 16 are listed, sorted by closing time .
| Event | Deadline (server time) | Main reward |
|---|---|---|
| Data Bounty - Combat Simulation | 03:59, October 19 | Doubled Combat Simulation rewards |
| Lame Crow Detective Records | 03:59, October 19 | Event rewards |
| Bangboo Growth Diary | 03:59, October 19 | Event rewards |
| All-New Broadcast (7-day login) | 03:59, October 20 | 10 Encrypted Tapes |
| "Ehn" From the Sky (7-day login) | 03:59, October 20 | 10 Boopons |
| Surprise Screening Project | 03:59, October 20 | Outfit selector, avatar, Polychromes |
| Angel Support Battle | 03:59, November 30 | Delusion Angels limited outfit |
Which doubled rewards to farm first
Data Bounty doubles Combat Simulation room rewards only during its window, from 04:00 on 2026-10-14 to 03:59 on 2026-10-19 . Combat Simulation provides Agent upgrade materials, so the correct use of that window is the characters you are actively building, not general resources you can farm any week.
Do not skip the outfit and Polychrome sign-ins
Surprise Screening Project hands out a Delusion Angels outfit selector, an avatar, and Polychromes, closing at 03:59 on October 20 . An outfit selector is a one-time reward with no replacement route, which makes it the highest-value low-effort item on the list.
Zenless Zone Zero Leveling Guide Preview: Check Materials Before Farming
On 2026-10-10, the official account posted a Leveling Guide update: the in-game tool can now show the material types and total amounts required for the next Agent, along with how many are still missing .
Do the math first
The Leveling Guide has two entry points: ESC - More - Leveling Guide, and Business Reopened - Leveling Guide. The tool solves the practical problem that you cannot allocate doubled runs without knowing your actual shortfall. Specific quantities should be read from the in-game guide itself.
Pairing the doubled window with preparation
The doubled Combat Simulation window from October 14 to October 19 lands right after that preview went live. The sensible sequence is to open the Leveling Guide, confirm the biggest gaps, then spend the doubled runs on whichever material stage covers them, leaving the rest for after 3.3 launches. Allocating every doubled run to a single upcoming Agent is not recommended, because that Agent's exact acquisition route and numbers still fall under official announcements and could shift before release.
Zenless Zone Zero 3.2 Story and New Areas: What Can Wait
The permanent content of 3.2 is Chapter Three of Season Three, "Their Secret Histories," available permanently after clearing Chapter Two, "A Long Farewell" .
Two new restricted zones
The new areas sit in Rosskalifa: Villeum City District unlocks during Season Three Chapter One, while Golden Research Institute and Hidden Reef Transfer Station unlock with Chapter Three . These are permanent and will not disappear when the version ends.
Separating limited from permanent
The most useful habit in a final week is to sort tasks into limited and permanent. Limited event rewards must be cleared between October 19 and October 20; the story, areas, and Trust events can wait. Mixing them up is how people rush the story and miss a sign-in day.

- Palworld 1.0.5 Breeding and Mutation Guide: Passive Filtering and Base Work Split
Palworld is currently on v1.0.5 (2026-09-15, source: Palworld official notice "v1.0.5: Bug fixes"). Breeding gained a new route after 1.0: besides the usual passive inheritance, the 1.0 release added a Mutation mechanic, where breeding can produce a stronger Pal at a low probability. The efficient approach is therefore to strip your parent Pals' passives clean first, then breed for volume and treat Mutation as a bonus.
- Reverse: 1999 4.0 Psychube and Resonance Guide: Build Order and Mane's Bulletin Teams
Reverse: 1999 is currently on version 4.0.0, with the official site listing an update date of 2026.09.24 . The build order under 4.0 compresses into one sentence: get your main damage dealer's Insight and Psychube to a usable state first, then round out supports with Psychubes and Resonance, and leave Psychube amplification for last. Get the order wrong and materials land in the lowest-return layer.
- Love and Deepspace Xavier Birthday Event Guide: Free 10 Pulls, the Birthday Call, and Every Deadline
Love and Deepspace's Xavier birthday event runs from 05:00 on October 11 to 04:59 on October 18, with a limited five-star Memory for Xavier on a heavily boosted rate, and a free login gift of 10 limited Deepspace Wish vouchers delivered to your in-game mail . Starting today, October 16 at 00:00, the birthday video call and the special Home interaction also open, and all four pieces close together at 04:59 on October 18.
- Honkai: Star Rail 4.6 Planar Fissure Guide: Which Relics the Double Drops Cover
Honkai: Star Rail's Planar Fissure event runs from 04:00 on 2026-10-12 to 03:59 on 2026-10-25, granting doubled rewards when you claim Immersion rewards or use Ornament Extraction in the Simulated Universe . The doubled rewards only apply to Planar Ornaments, not to Cavern Relics, so spend the runs on your carry's ornaments and farm the new Herta Outskirts relic stage separately.
- Genshin Impact 7.1 Spiral Abyss Guide: The October 16 Cryo and Anemo Rotation
The new Spiral Abyss rotation went live on 2026-10-16 in Genshin Impact 7.1. Floor 12 gives a 75% damage bonus to Starflash reactions in the first half and a 75% Cryo DMG bonus team-wide in the second half, while Floor 11 grants 60% Anemo DMG and 60% Cryo DMG to all party members . The whole plan reduces to one line: build the first half around Starflash reactions and the second half around Cryo, and do not split one team across both.
- Wuthering Waves 3.7.1 Tower of Adversity Guide: Reading Buffs, Main DPS Slots, and Sequence Priority
Failing a Tower of Adversity floor is usually a buff problem, not a build problem. Wuthering Waves is on version 3.7.1, and the order that works is read the current buff to fix the element direction, then set the main DPS slot and sequences, and handle supports and echo substats last .
- Arknights October 16 Emergency Update Guide: Yesterday Sea Part Two, Hengyuan Jinliang, and a Sanity Plan
Arknights' October content enters its second stage after the emergency update on 2026-10-16: the second half of the SideStory "Yesterday Sea" opens, the Hengyuan Jinliang collaboration goes live alongside the first expansion of Integrated Strategies, and the emergency maintenance compensation is 200 Orundum (source: Arknights official notice, 2026-10-16). The cheapest way to clear both tracks is to finish the Salvage Plan missions first, spend the event currency second, and handle recruitment and base building last .
- Palworld v1.0.5 Base Guide: Work Suitability After The Ancient Bark Lv.1 Change
Palworld v1.0.4 dropped the Work Suitability needed to gather Ancient Bark to Lv.1, and that single line rewrote how early bases split their jobs . The current build is v1.0.5 (2026-09-15), which only fixes terrain, building and other textures loading at noticeably reduced resolution for some players . This guide skips Tower bosses and covers the two things bases get wrong: how to assign Work Suitability, and how to set building limits.
