Bizarre Brigade Event Revisited: What ZZZ Proxies Need to Know in 2026

In the ever-shifting world of New Eridu, limited-time events tend to come and go faster than a Bangboo chasing a shiny coin. The Bizarre Brigade event, which originally ran from September 30 to October 14, 2024, invited Proxies to Godfinger Arcade for a three-part challenge tied to a brand-new arcade game. Fast-forward to 2026, and the event itself is no longer live—but its most coveted reward, the Dream Seeker 'Omnom,' remains obtainable through a permanent alternative. For collectors and completionists, that is a classic case of better late than never.

The original event was not open to everyone from the jump. Proxies needed to reach Inter-Knot Lv. ≥15 and complete the Agent Story 'Mole in the Hole (I)' before they could participate. Once those boxes were ticked, the path led to the video store, where Billy had a conversation that unlocked the event challenge at Godfinger Arcade. From there, Proxies could dive into Bizarre Brigade, a new game that arrived alongside a set of limited-time missions. Completing those missions earned exclusive rewards, and the challenge was split into three distinct parts.

The three-part structure gave the event a deliberate pace. After completing one part and spending a day in New Eridu, Proxies could accept the subsequent event mission and unlock the next part. That day-gating meant no one could speedrun the whole nine yards in a single sitting. It also encouraged players to return to Godfinger Arcade, check in with the event flow, and keep the arcade's neon lights burning in their daily routine. For a limited-time crossover between story, arcade minigames, and reward hunting, it was a tidy package.

For many Proxies, however, the headline reward was never the Polychromes or the Boopons. It was Omnom. During the event, after Proxies unlocked the third challenge in the limited-time event 'Trusty Travel Companion,' they received the Dream Seeker 'Omnom.' That made Omnom a must-have for players who cared about collecting every Dreamchaser. The original window was tight, and missing it could have been a bitter pill to swallow. Fortunately, HoYoverse built a safety net.

After the event ended, Proxies could still obtain this Dreamchaser in 'Soul Hounds III' by reaching 1,000 meters. That single detail has aged remarkably well. In 2026, long after the Bizarre Brigade missions disappeared from Godfinger Arcade, Soul Hounds III remains the reliable route to Omnom. It is not time-limited, not tied to Billy's video store conversation, and not dependent on a three-part event chain. Players simply need to enter Soul Hounds III and go the distance—literally. For anyone who missed the boat in 2024, this is the no-strings-attached solution.

The event's reward pool was also worth noting. Completing the event challenge yielded Polychromes, Boopons, and more. Polychromes are the lifeblood of any gacha plan, while Boopons feed the Bangboo channel and help Proxies build out their roster of adorable combat helpers. For free-to-play and low-spending players, those rewards were not just nice-to-have; they were meaningful progress. The event may have been a limited-time affair, but its loot table gave participants plenty of reasons to finish every part.

As of 2026, the original Bizarre Brigade event is a closed chapter. HoYoverse has not announced a rerun, and Proxies should not expect the Godfinger Arcade missions to reappear without an official notice. That said, ZZZ has a habit of bringing back ideas, characters, and modes in new forms. If Bizarre Brigade ever returns, the eligibility rules will likely stay the same: Inter-Knot Lv. ≥15 and completion of the Agent Story 'Mole in the Hole (I).' Until then, the permanent Omnom route in Soul Hounds III is the only guaranteed path.

A few practical notes can help Proxies sort out their priorities in 2026:

• ✅ Do reach 1,000 meters in Soul Hounds III if Omnom is still missing from the collection.

• ❌ Don't wait around for Godfinger Arcade missions to reappear unless an official rerun is announced.

• 💡 Tip check Inter-Knot level and Agent Story progress now, since those requirements could be reused in a future event.

• 🎯 Reward priority for most accounts remains Polychromes first, Boopons second, and cosmetic or collector items after that.

• 🗓️ Keep an eye on in-game notices and official channels for any limited-time revival, but do not hold your breath.

At the end of the day, Bizarre Brigade is a 2024 relic with a surprisingly useful afterlife. The arcade game itself may no longer be live, and the 'Trusty Travel Companion' missions are long gone, but Omnom remains within reach. For new Proxies in 2026, the event is a history lesson in how ZZZ handles limited-time content. For veterans, it is a reminder to tie up loose ends before a collection gap becomes permanent. The neon glow of Godfinger Arcade may have dimmed on this particular event, but the road to 1,000 meters in Soul Hounds III is still open. In New Eridu, that counts as a second chance—and smart Proxies know better than to waste it.
