When Zenless Zone Zero decides to lock a cosmetic behind a spending event, Proxies tend to pay attention—especially when the cosmetic involves a beach-ready Vivian. The Version 2.3 to 2.4 window introduced 'Vivian - Iris of the Shore,' an outfit that sent half the community into rerun math and the other half into frantic tape-hoarding. Even in 2026, the outfit still gets brought up in cosmetic wish lists and shop rotations. So, for those who missed the original wave or just want the definitive lowdown, here is a full breakdown.
During the event, which ran from the Version 2.3 update until the end of Version 2.4, Proxies who spent a specified number of Encrypted Master Tapes across all limited-time Channels unlocked a multi-tier reward track. The centerpiece was, of course, the Vivian outfit. However, it was not a lonely prize. The track also included Proxy accessories for Wise and Belle, divided into two thematic sets. The summer set gave Wise the 'Leisurely Summer' accessory and Belle the 'Rippling Cerulean' accessory. The second set leaned into aquatic swirls, with Wise receiving 'Azure Spiral' and Belle receiving 'Seapearl Waves.' To top it off, extra Master Tapes and other rewards were sprinkled throughout, which meant spenders could at least recover a few pulls while chasing style points.
🌊 Reward Breakdown
| Reward Type | Included Items |
|---|---|
| Main Outfit | Vivian - Iris of the Shore |
| Summer Proxy Accessories | Wise - Leisurely Summer, Belle - Rippling Cerulean |
| Oceanic Proxy Accessories | Wise - Azure Spiral, Belle - Seapearl Waves |
| Bonus Pull Materials | Master Tapes and other rewards |
The official announcement made one thing painfully clear: 'Vivian: Iris of the Shore' was an event-exclusive reward. There was no hidden shop drop, no lucky pity system, and no alternate route for at least 180 days after Version 2.4 ended. That kind of phrasing is enough to make a completionist Proxy pour one out for their wallet. The good news, from the same announcement, was that the outfit would eventually return through the 'Store - Today's Outfit' section in future versions. Fast-forward to 2026, and that 180-day lockout has long since passed. In other words, Proxies should keep an eye on the Today's Outfit rotation, because the swim-ready Vivian has likely joined the shop pool—or at least the waiting list for a rerun.
🛒 The Bundle Situation
There was also a paid bundle running from the Version 2.3 update until 2025/11/26 05:59 (UTC+8). For those keeping score at home, yes, that was a real calendar crunch. The bundle contained Encrypted Master Tape ×10 and Dennies ×100,000, with a strict purchase limit of two per account during the sale period. It was not a direct outfit ticket, but it did provide fuel for the spending event. Some Proxies treated it as a low-stakes shortcut; others saw it as the game politely asking, 'Are you sure you want that beach fit?' before adding tapes to the cart.
Part of the outfit's staying power is its visual language. Unlike the standard combat-ready gear, Iris of the Shore leans into a relaxed shoreline aesthetic, complete with soft blues and airy fabrics. For a game that spends most of its time throwing Proxies into Hollow disturbances, a beach day outfit feels like an ironic, well-earned vacation. The Wise and Belle accessories follow suit, giving each Proxy a matching splash of summer energy. This is the kind of cosmetic that does not just change a character; it changes the whole vibe of the party select screen.
There is also a subtle warning buried in the event details for future collectors. When a notice says 'at least 180 days,' that does not mean the item will definitely appear on day 181. It means the developers reserve the right to sit on it for as long as they like. In the case of Iris of the Shore, the return path is confirmed, but the timing has always been left to the shop rotation. Proxies who treat Today's Outfit like a daily login ritual will have the best shot. Everyone else may need to rely on a well-timed social media ping or a very persuasive friend.
From a 2026 standpoint, the event stands as a classic example of Zenless Zone Zero's layered cosmetic economy. The outfit itself is the flashy headline, the Proxy accessories cater to the detail-obsessed crowd, and the Master Tape bundle quietly greases the wheels for those already pulling on limited Channels. It is a smart design, if a little mischievous. Anyone still chasing Iris of the Shore should remember three things: the outfit was never in the standard gacha pool, the bundle only provided currency rather than the costume itself, and the Store - Today's Outfit section is now the realistic path forward. Patience, Proxies. The beach is not going anywhere.
