Zenless Zone Zero 2.7: Increased drop rates for Zero Hollows—How to farm Drive Disks 24/7 losslessly using cloud phones

After the 2.7 update, Zeroth Hollow became a new favorite among Weavers. Officially, the drop rate for Drive Disks was increased from 12% to 18%—a seemingly minor 6-percentage-point boost that significantly elevated the stamina-to-reward efficiency. However, here’s the catch: stamina is capped at 240. How can office workers possibly monitor their screens 24/7 to clear stamina?

The Stamina Cost Behind the Increased Drop Rate

Let’s run the numbers carefully. Currently, a Golden Plate sells for an average of 1.2 million Deni on the Auction House, and clearing one Void instance consumes 20 stamina. With an 18% drop rate, you’ll obtain one Golden Plate on average every 111 stamina. Converting those 111 stamina into Concentrated Liquid costs approximately 185,000 Deni—yielding a net profit of roughly 845,000 Deni.

Compared to the old map, hourly earnings have increased by over 40%. However, excess stamina is literally money lost: characters need rest, and players need to go to work. To fully capitalize on this profit 24/7, traditional mobile auto-farming isn’t viable—not only does it cause overheating and disconnections, but it also interferes with daily phone usage. At this point, cloud phones become an absolute necessity.

Cloud Phone AFK Test: 5 Gold Discs Overnight

I recently ran tests on the Xingjie Cloud Phone for one week, focusing specifically on background script looping. It comes pre-installed with dual Android versions (11 and 13), enables Developer Mode without requiring ROOT access, and supports easy upload of Auto.js or Keymouse scripts.

I created a loop script covering “Enter Zero-Number Void → Select Map → Battle → Settlement → Retry.” With a 20-minute stamina check configured, the script runs automatically in the background. Real-world testing shows that thanks to GPU hardware acceleration, the device maintains smooth frame rates even with all eight on-screen visual effects enabled simultaneously. Average battle settlement time is 45 seconds—8 seconds faster than mid-tier physical devices.

Let’s highlight network stability. Ordinary cloud phones frequently disconnect and revert to the home screen, abruptly terminating scripts. Xingjie offers an exclusive network mode supporting port mapping and a fixed egress IP address—even UDP broadcast packets are properly forwarded. Real-world latency measures at 38 ms, with zero disconnections recorded overnight.

Numbers don’t lie. Here’s the result from running the Premium Plan (8-core CPU, 5 GB RAM) overnight (22:00–06:00):

• Total battles: 262
• Gold disc drops: 5
• Purple disc drops: 37
• Equivalent earnings: ~7.4 million Deni

This efficiency is 2.1× higher than manual play—and critically, requires zero human intervention. Just wake up and collect your rewards.

Cost and Entry Barrier

Multi-instance users are advised to choose the HD version (1080×1920), priced at ¥48/month per window—more energy-efficient and hassle-free than purchasing a second-hand physical device. For single-account cloud hosting, opt for the “Unlimited Play” version, which costs ¥38/month and supports full 60 FPS performance. Currently, registering on the official website and contacting customer service with the phrase “Zenless Zone Zero trial play” entitles you to one day of “Premium Edition” access—sufficient to complete 250 verification runs and assess returns.

Two points require attention:

1. Only the Azur Lane script is pre-installed; for Zenless Zone Zero, you must upload your own script.
2. Only Android environments are supported—iOS users are temporarily excluded.

The high-drop-rate window introduced in Version 2.7 won’t last long; the next hotfix may adjust it downward. Maximizing your 240 stamina daily and ensuring adequate sleep aren’t mutually exclusive—your cloud-based instances are already ready; all that’s left is your battle-loop script.
