Before Zenless Zone Zero launched, one of the biggest draws to HoYo’s new game was the offer of 180 free pulls. Unfortunately, for a few, these rewards still haven’t come in, and there’s no sign when exactly they will.
With Gachas designed to make you want to pay – there’s no shortage of microtransactions and offers in-game. They’re usually expensive, blinding, and more-often-than-not, a little bit suspect. So, when a new game launches, the offer of receiving a set amount of free items is too good to decline. They’re one of the best ways to launch yourselves forward in a new game, though unfortunately for many ZZZ players, including Siliconera‘s Jenni Lada, they still haven’t received them yet.
Lada raises crucial points in figuring out whether or not it’s possible to actually receive them all. “Part of that is because 100 of those are free pulls” while the “remaining Boopons are the currency used on the Bangboo Channel Signal Searches for those supporting characters.”
“But there isn’t just a lack of clarity and forthrightness when it comes to the division of the 180 free pulls,” Lada continues. “It can also be about the ‘how’ and the ‘when’,” which is especially more important. Timed events and daily log-ins play a huge part in you actually being able to access these free pulls, though not everyone is going to have the same time capacity to claim everything.
As ZZZ was first coming out, there were those who saw through the promise of 180 free pulls. “MiHoYo just set the best bait that they could ever do,” writes one Redditor, while others have complained and been told that “they aren’t gonna give you all of it directly just like that,” and that logging in daily is the only way to claim them all.
Lada finishes off by saying that “it really feels like HoYoVerse is abusing the ‘180 free pulls’ line” with ZZZ, and this sentiment is really echoed by community confusion. Online communities are peppered with people asking about how to claim their 180 free pulls, whether or not MiHoYo has been false advertising them, and if they’re missing out on any key and important information. Had the advertisement been clear that these rewards are not instant, but instead they’re just going to be included in the natural life-cycle of the game, there would likely not be this same uproar.
