Let me tell you, when I first dove into the chaotic, vibrant world of New Eridu in Zenless Zone Zero, I was completely and utterly lost in a sea of currencies. Polychrome? Denny? But the one that had me scratching my head the most was this thing called a Boopon. It sounded like a cute pet name, not the key to unlocking the most adorable little combat companions in the game! Fast forward to today, and I've become an absolute Boopon-hoarding machine. Forget the Proxy work—my real job is farming these precious gacha tickets, and I'm here to spill all my secrets on how you, too, can build your Bangboo army without spending a single real-world dollar. Trust me, it's an art form, and I've mastered it!
First things first, let's get our terminology straight. Boopons are the exclusive, non-purchasable currency used to pull on the Bangboo Signal Search Banner. That's right, you cannot buy them with real money! They used to be called something else (Coup-En, if you're curious), but now they're the adorable-sounding tickets to your future robotic friends. Every single one has to be earned through blood, sweat, and clever gameplay. This makes them incredibly valuable and strategic to collect. I treat each Boopon like a little piece of treasure, and you should too!
So, how do you get your hands on these beauties? After months of grinding, I've narrowed it down to five foolproof methods. I live by this list, and it has never let me down.
🎯 My Top 5 Boopon Farming Strategies (Ranked by Efficiency)
| Method | Effort Required | Approx. Boopon Yield | My Personal Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Bangboo Level-Up | Medium-High | 1 per Bangboo | Prioritize leveling common Bangboos first! |
| 2. Hollow Zero License | Steady Grind | Periodic rewards | Always do the extra missions at Scott Outpost. |
| 3. Signal Shop Purchase | Low (if you have Bangbuck) | Up to 5/month | Buy these FIRST every month without fail. |
| 4. Limited-Time Events | Variable, often low | Can be HUGE (e.g., 65+) | Never skip an event tab. Ever. |
| 5. Battle Pass Rewards | Consistent Grind | 5 (F2P) / 10 (Premium) | The free track is a no-brainer for resources. |
Let me break down each method like I'm explaining it to my best Proxy partner. The first and most reliable method is upgrading your Bangboos. Every single time you take one of those little guys to Level 20 at the Remodeling Shop on Sixth Street, the game rewards you with one shiny Boopon. It’s like the game is paying you to be a good parent! I made it my mission to level up every common Bangboo I got my hands on first—it's the fastest way to build an initial stockpile.
Next up is Hollow Zero. Once you unlock this rogue-lite mode, don't just play through it and forget it. The real Boopon motherlode is in advancing your Hollow Zero License Level by completing those extra missions at Scott Outpost. I check this religiously. Starting from License Level 2, you get one Boopon for every two levels you climb. It's a slow burn, but it adds up to a massive amount over time. The grind is real, but so are the rewards!
Now, for the easiest method if you've got the in-game cash: the Signal Shop. The moment the Bangboo banner unlocks, sprint—don't walk—to the shop. Each Boopon costs 40 Bangbuck, and there's a monthly limit (usually five). I budget my Bangbuck specifically for this purchase. It's the closest thing to a guaranteed Boopon subscription service the game has.
Ah, events. This is where you can score obscene amounts of Boopons with relatively little effort. I'm talking about events like "Road to Proxy Greatness," which literally handed out 65 Boopons just for leveling up your Inter-Knot level during the event period. SIXTY-FIVE! That's enough for a whole multi-pull with change. I've learned to never, ever ignore the event menu. HoYoVerse is generous with these limited-time giveaways, and missing them is like leaving money on the ground.
Finally, the Battle Pass: New Eridu City Fund. Even as a free-to-play warrior like myself, you can snag up to five Boopons just by playing normally and completing the objectives. If you invest in the premium pass, that reward doubles to ten, but you need to hit Level 43. For me, the free Boopons are an essential part of my monthly income. It's steady, reliable, and requires no extra thought beyond just playing the game I love.
To wrap it all up, my life in New Eridu revolves around a simple, beautiful cycle: Play → Earn Resources → Upgrade Bangboos/Advance Licenses → Get Boopons → Pull for MORE Bangboos. It's the circle of (Proxy) life! Remember, patience and consistency are key. You won't get 100 Boopons in a day, but by diligently following these methods, you'll build a formidable collection that lets you summon to your heart's content. Now get out there, Proxy, and start farming! Your dream team of waddling, battling Bangboos is waiting.
