Zenless Zone Zero W-Engine Guide & W-Engine List (2024)

Zenless Zone Zero W-Engine Guide and Basics

Welcome to our Zenless Zone Zero W-Engine Guide, where we’ll cover how they work, signature weapons, and more. While characters are the main focus for the ZZZ meta discussion, having the right W-Engine is also extremely important.

In ZZZ, W-Engines are essentially your character’s weapon.

• Every W-Engine will provide Base ATK, a Main Stat, and a passive.
• Each W-Engine has a rarity: S, A, B.
• W-Engines are also categorized by Fighting Style.
• You can equip any W-Engine onto any Agent, but the passive will only work if the Agent and W-Engine have matching Fighting Styles.

You can level up W-Engines with W-Engine specific resources, which you can farm/receive in game. As you level up the Engine, the Base ATK and Main Stat will increase, up to the max level.

Lastly, you can also increase the passive effect of a W-Engine by “feeding” duplicate copies into one. Every W-Engine passive has 5 levels, starting from 1, and increasing to max after obtaining 4 duplicates.

Signature Weapons (W-Engine)

Furthermore, each Agent will have a “signature weapon.” In games like Genshin Impact, only 5-Star characters had signature weapons. In ZZZ, it appears that every Agent, both S-Rank and A-Rank, have a signature W-Engine.

We can see this as many W-Engines match an Agent’s aesthetic and provide a very synergistic passive effect. When it comes to Banners, the featured Agents on the Limited Banner will match the featured Engines on the W-Engine banner.

As such, try to pull on a banner where you want both the featured S-Rank and A-Rank Agents. This way, if you want to pull on the W-Engine Banner, you’ll be able to get the signature weapons for multiple Agents.

On the first Limited Banner, we have Ellen (S), Anton (A), and Soukaku (A). The W-Engine Banner will also include the signature weapons for each of these Agents: Deep Sea Visitor (Ellen), Bashful Demon (Soukaku), and Drill Rig – Red Axis (Anton).
