Monochrome Film has a couple of primary functions in Zenless Zone Zero, as outlined below:

  • It can be converted into Polychrome
  • It can be used to buy bundles from the in-game Signal Shop

Generally, you'll be using your Monochrome Film to convert directly into Polychrome, which can then be spent on Encrypted Master Tapes.

We wouldn't recommend buying the bundles from the Signal Shop, as these tend to include Investigator Logs and Power Supplies which can be earned through gameplay or the New Eridu City Fund.
