You earn Residual Signal by pulling on the current and future banners in ZZZ using Master Tapes. This is the only way to obtain this currency, but working on recruiting new characters is a key gameplay factor, which means you’ll end up earning lots of this resource in no time.

At the end of the pulls you make, you can see how much Residual Signal you earned in the bottom left corner near the Confirm button.

How to use Residual Signal in Zenless Zone Zero

Residual Signal can be spent in the Signal Shop on the Residual Signal page. It’s a special currency, which means you can only use it in this shop and it has no purpose outside of it.

You can use Residual Signal to buy all of the following items.

The last two shop slots rotate to feature different characters each month. You can spend 140 Residual Signal to buy one of the available characters when they’re in the shop. If you already have one of the available units, you can still purchase the character to unlock the associated Agent’s Mindscape, which grants them additional powerful buffs and abilities.

It’s generally best to spend Residual Signal on either kind of Master Tape so you can unlock more pulls. Obtaining new characters is key but getting more pulls can be tough so this is a decently easy way to grab some.

If you’re hoping to earn Residual Signal you can spend, it’s a good idea to redeem all ZZZ codes and work on claiming your 100 free pulls. Both will help you unlock more Master Tape to spend, which means you can pull on the banners to claim lots of Residual Signal.
