Does Zenless Zone Zero have gacha mechanics?

Already, we have confirmation that Zenless Zone Zero is a gacha game, which doesn't come to a surprise given that Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail both heavily feature gatcha mechanics. Similar to those games, you'll have to use pulls to obtain different characters and improve their strength.

In Zenless Zone Zero, different characters will have different rarities, and you'll be able to pull for a chance to unlock a rare hero using Zenless Zone Zero's gacha system: Signal Search. Using these, you'll be able to recruit new Agents to your team.

For those wishing to avoid the gacha system, you will still be able to play the game without spending any money. However, you'll take a lot longer to gain the very best gear and characters, which is important to bear in mind before you start playing. Plus, the gacha pulls are frequently advertised in-game, so be prepared to exercise restraint if you choose to play without paying extra.
