It's been quite the journey since I first stepped foot in New Eridu. The year is 2025, and Zenless Zone Zero has completely consumed my gaming life for months now. There's something mesmerizing about traversing the neon-lit streets and uncovering every secret this game has to offer. Today, I want to share my personal expedition hunting down those elusive Mini Cargo Trucks in Failume Heights.
First Steps into the Unknown
I still remember my first arrival at Failume Heights like it was yesterday. Walking alongside Yixuan Shifu, wide-eyed and clueless, when the vibrant streets of this district unfolded before me. Ju Fufu's introduction to the area was my first real taste of how immersive this world could be. Little did I know that beneath the surface of this seemingly ordinary district lay collectibles that would drive me to explore every nook and cranny.
The Mini Cargo Trucks aren't just random collectibles—they've become somewhat of an obsession for me. These little mechanical buddies feel almost alive, as if they're playing hide and seek with us proxies. Six of them scattered throughout Failume Heights, not marked on any map, just waiting to be discovered.
The Hunt Begins
My collection journey started at the Seagaze Road Fissure Beacon. After teleporting there, I immediately spotted my first Mini Cargo Truck just south of the beacon. I remember thinking, "Well, that was easy!" Oh, how naive I was.
For the second truck, I had to chat up the Cable Car Staff nearby. There's something oddly satisfying about these interactions—the way the NPCs seem to have lives of their own, with personalities that shine through even in brief exchanges. The staff member pointed me toward the truck, and I felt that little spark of joy that only fellow collectors would understand.
The Hidden Gems
The third truck required a bit more footwork. I descended the stairs, moved south, and then took the western stairway. This particular truck I actually stumbled upon during the "Where Clouds Embrace the Dawn" Main Story while meeting Dr. Lohr. Talk about a happy accident! The doctor was going on about something important to the plot, but I was low-key eyeing that truck the whole time. Priorities, am I right?
After leaving the doctor's office, I climbed back up and headed toward the Cable Car: Failume Heights Station. There it was—truck number four—chilling next to a billboard in front of the second Cable Car like it had been waiting for me all along.
The Final Stretch
For the fifth truck, I had to backtrack a bit. Moving east from the Cable Car Station, I crossed the road, then headed north and east again. It was tucked away in a spot that made me go, "Oh come on, that's just unfair!" But the satisfaction of finding it was worth the momentary frustration.
The sixth and final truck was perhaps the most challenging. I had to navigate to the northeastern edge of the map, then make a right turn at the very end. When I finally spotted it, I let out an embarrassingly loud cheer that probably concerned my neighbors. But honestly, who cares? I had completed my collection!
Beyond Collection
There's something deeply personal about these collection quests that transcends the simple act of finding objects. Each Mini Cargo Truck represents a moment in my journey through Zenless Zone Zero—a snapshot of where I was in the story, what I was feeling, who I was with in-game.
I sometimes wonder what future expansions will bring to Failume Heights. Will we see more of these adorable trucks scattered in new areas? Perhaps in 2026, they'll introduce customizable Mini Cargo Trucks that we can program to follow us around like loyal pets. A proxy can dream, right?
The developers have created such a living, breathing world that sometimes I find myself just sitting at a virtual café in Failume Heights, watching the NPCs go about their daily routines, the Mini Cargo Trucks occasionally zipping by on their predetermined paths. In those quiet moments, New Eridu feels almost real.
My Collection Philosophy
For those embarking on their own collection journey, remember this: it's not about rushing to find everything. It's about the stories you create along the way. Each Mini Cargo Truck I found has its own little narrative in my mind—the time I got hopelessly lost trying to find truck number five, or when I accidentally stumbled upon number three while completely focused on the main quest.
Here's my personal checklist that I use when hunting collectibles in any district:
-
✅ Check obvious places first
-
✅ Talk to every NPC—they often drop hints
-
✅ Look behind structures and billboards
-
✅ When in doubt, look up—sometimes collectibles are above eye level
-
✅ Patience is key—some areas might be locked behind story progression
In the end, these Mini Cargo Trucks are more than just digital objects to be collected. They represent the care and attention to detail that the developers poured into creating this world. Each truck has its place, its purpose, its story—just like each of us proxies navigating the complex web of New Eridu's narrative.
As I sit here in 2025, with my complete collection of Failume Heights Mini Cargo Trucks, I can't help but feel a bittersweet sense of accomplishment. The hunt is over, but the memories remain, digitally preserved in this virtual world that has somehow become a second home.
Until the next collection quest calls, I'll be here, wandering the streets of New Eridu, creating my own stories one step at a time.
