When I first dropped into New Eridu, I thought Sixth Street was just a cozy hub between Hollow raids. I was wrong. After countless commissions, coffee runs, and late-night noodle breaks, I've come to see it as the true home base of Zenless Zone Zero—a small open world that quietly powers every Agent, Bangboo, and W-Engine I own. In 2026, with more Hollows cleared and more Agents recruited, this block still feels like the beating heart of my daily routine.

🏠 My Video Store Is More Than a Shop

On the surface, my video store is exactly what it sounds like: a place that rents videotapes to customers. But why would a Proxy care about rental income? Because opening shop each day gives me a steady profit of Dennies, and every bit of currency helps when I'm upgrading Agents or Bangboos. Bangboo 18 handles the day-to-day management, and it also acts as a videotape promoter. I love checking in, watching 18 wobble around, and imagining what kind of weird films New Eridu residents are into.

🖥️ The Archive and HDD: Where Preparation Meets Hollow Chaos

After entering my workshop, I always turn right to the Archive, which works like a workbench. This is where I review the Proxy Handbook, Partner Files, obtained Intelligence, and Hollow Codex. The Proxy Handbook explains different functions, including important city info, combat techniques, and gameplay tutorials. Partner Files hold basic information and Trust for Agents I've built relationships with. Intelligence stores Clues collected from inside Hollows. Hollow Codex tracks Resonia I've collected and special events I've encountered inside Hollows.

In front of the Archive sits the Hollow Deep Dive System, or HDD. I use it to sensory sync with my First Assistant, controlling it to guide Agents and explore the Hollow. Isn't it strange how a quiet room with a workbench can send me into the most dangerous places in the game? That contrast never gets old.

🛋️ Sofa and Commission Log: Taking a Breath

I chose the sofa carefully with my Second Assistant. If I want to kill time, or if it's getting late—I can tell by the moon icon beside the day in the top right—I take a break on the sofa. It's a small touch, but it makes the video store feel like a home rather than a menu. The Commission Log sits on the shelf next to the sofa, holding video recordings of important commissions. Sometimes I flip through it and remember the fights, the close calls, and the ridiculous Bangboo moments.

🎵 Bardic Needle: Tuning My Agents

Bardic Needle is the music store run by Elfy. I go there to use the Plating Agent and Tune Drive Discs that improve Agent combat abilities. Elfy also helps me dismantle any Drive Discs I don't need and recycles the materials. Why let useless discs gather dust when they can become useful resources? I always leave Bardic Needle feeling like my team is a little sharper.

🚗 Turbo: Bangboo Upgrades and Eous Chips

Turbo is a car remodeling shop that has opened a new service for Bangboo. New Combat Bangboo models can aid me while fighting in the Hollows. I suggest heading over to learn more, especially if you rely on Bangboo damage or utility. After completing Enzo's commission "No Guts No Glory," I could modify my First Assistant Eous. Splicing in a few chips useful for Hollow exploration gives it additional assistance inside Hollows. It's one of those upgrades that feels small until you're deep in a fight and suddenly your little buddy saves the run.

🍜 Noodle Shop, News Stand, and Arcade

Calculations place getting a bowl of noodles at the noodle shop on Sixth Street as the top after-work pastime of 71% of all Sixth Street residents. After eating there, my next few battles enjoy a buff. I can't argue with statistics, and I can't argue with noodles.

Opposite the noodle shop is Howl's News Stand, run by Howl the hound: "Howl~" I check the City News for a quick rundown on big events happening in New Eridu. The stand also has a Daily Scratch Card that lets me try my luck at getting a reward. If I'm lucky, I can get Film here.

Beside the news stand is the Godfinger arcade run by Asha. It currently has two games available: Soul Hounds III and Snake Duel. Completing achievements in these two games can earn me Film. Rumor has it the store will soon hold a time-limited event where I can win generous rewards by fighting online multiplayer battles. In 2026, that rumor has become exactly the kind of thing I keep an eye on.

☕ Coff Cafe and Convenience Store

As a famous chain across New Eridu, each Coff Cafe has a Tin Master barista focused on providing high-quality, industrial-strength coffee. Drinking coffee can restore 60 Battery Charge. Some coffee also gives me a buff after drinking, increasing rewards from completing selected game modes for a specified number of times. Except for special event blends, coffee is limited to one cup per day. That limit makes every cup feel like a tiny ritual.

Opposite Coff Cafe is a convenience store run by Bangboo. I spend Dennies there to purchase Skill Upgrade Materials for Agents. It's not glamorous, but it's essential. What's a Proxy without stocked-up skills?

🧰 Box Galaxy: Gadgets and W-Engines

The gadget store Box Galaxy is currently run by Susie. Its main line of business is the sale of all kinds of gadgets. When I visit, they provide sales and recycling services for W-Engines. If I'm chasing a new build or cleaning out old gear, Box Galaxy is where I go. It's the kind of shop that turns spare resources into real power.

🌙 Why Sixth Street Still Matters

Sixth Street isn't just a hub I pass through. It's where I prepare, recover, upgrade, and occasionally waste time playing arcade games when I should be clearing commissions. The video store, the Archive, the HDD, the shops—each one feeds into the next. In 2026, with so many new Hollows and Agents, I still start and end my sessions here. After all, what's the point of saving New Eridu if I don't enjoy the neighborhood I'm saving?

So if you're new to Zenless Zone Zero, don't rush past Sixth Street. Talk to the shopkeepers, drink the coffee, eat the noodles, and let Bangboo 18 handle the tapes. You might be surprised how much power hides in a quiet little block.
