How to get Jane Doe skin for free in Version 2.5

  • Update your game to Version 2.5. The skin will not appear in earlier versions.
  • Log into Zenless Zone Zero at least once during the Version 2.5 update period. You don’t need to complete any missions or events.
  • Open the in-game Store from the main menu and navigate to the Outfit or Featured section.
  • Locate Jane Doe – Nocturne of Light. During the free window, its cost will show as zero.
  • Confirm the claim. The outfit is added permanently to your account. Once claimed, the skin is yours forever, even after the update ends.

Do you need to own Jane Doe to claim the skin?

No. You can claim the Nocturne of Light skin even if you don’t currently have Jane Doe unlocked. The outfit will remain in your inventory and can be equipped once you obtain the character in the future.

This makes it worth claiming even if Jane Doe isn’t part of your current roster.

What happens if you miss the free period?

After Version 2.5 ends, the Nocturne of Light skin moves to the standard premium outfit lineup. At that point:

  • It can only be purchased using premium currency
  • The free claim option is removed
  • Availability depends on store rotation and reruns

If you want the skin without spending currency, claiming it during the event window is the only guaranteed method.

Common issues when claiming the skin

  • If you don’t see the outfit, double-check that your game is fully updated
  • Restarting the game can refresh the shop listing
  • The skin does not auto-unlock through mail; you must manually claim it

Is the Jane Doe skin worth it

If you use Jane Doe or plan to unlock her later, the answer is yes. Since the skin is free during Version 2.5 and cosmetic-only, there’s no downside to adding it to your account. Even if you’re undecided about the character, claiming now avoids paying premium currency later.
