HoYoverse confirms OBOL Squad member Trigger as another new limited banner character joining the Zenless Zone Zero roster in Update 1.6. There's no slowing down for HoYoverse as the developer has already started teasing the next big Zenless Zone Zero update.

The pattern has become fairly predictable for HoYoverse, who typically starts teasing the next update following the release of the current one, in this case Update 1.5. While fans have just gotten their hands on the Astra-nomical Moment update featuring Astra-Yao, HoYoverse is giving players a chance to start stocking up on resources like Polychromes and Encrypted Master Tapes as 3 new characters have already been confirmed for the next major update.

Following a pair of Update 1.6 character reveals for Zenless Zone Zero, HoYoverse announced that Trigger is another limited banner character joining the roster in Update 1.6. While Pulchra appears to be an A-Rank character, it's expected that Trigger and Silver Soldier Anby will be part of the S-Rank banners. For Trigger, she occupies the Stun role and uses electricity as her element of choice. Her agent record animation also shows her withwhat appears to be a large rifle, likely taking aspects of Harumasa's style of gameplay by being able to damage at range while moving in for melee strikes as well.

Zenless Zone Zero Update 1.6 May Focus on the OBOL Squad

Trigger's reveal seemingly pairs well with a theory that many fans have had since the game launched surrounding the origins of Zenless Zone Zero's Anby Demara, an Electro Stun agent part of Nicole's Cunning Hares faction. HoYoverse revealed Silver Soldier Anby as a new limited Agent for Update 1.6, giving her a new look and attacking designation, while an accidental leak revealed that this version of her is part of OBOL Squad. With all of these reveals, fans have continued to link Anby to Soldier-11, perhaps being long-lost sisters or at least related somehow, considering how similar they look to one another.

Compared to other Zenless Zone Zero factions which have been in the spotlight recently, like the Sons of Calydon or Section 6, the Obsidian Division, or OBOL Squad, remains largely mysterious and little used to this point. The only real link since the game launched has been with the S-Rank agent, Soldier-11, who has been available as part of Zenless Zone Zero's Permanent Banner and has a featured story called Mole in the Hole. With Trigger on the horizon, perhaps HoYoverse is ready to reveal more about this little known faction.
