![Resistance Reduction](https://img.gamewith.net/assets/images/common/transparent1px.png)
Pressure in Zenless Zone Zero is a stat that increases as players explore new tiles. Reaching 100 Pressure will cause a debuff called Corruption and reset Pressure back to 0.
Pressure is Shown at the Bottom

Current Pressure Stats can be checked at the bottom of the screen.
Some Corruption Could Have Advantages
Most Corruptions give you a debuff but depending on the situation it could be advantageous. There is a Corruption that randomly gives you a positive effect or negative effect.
5th Corruption will Apply Powerful Debuff
![corruption](https://img.gamewith.net/assets/images/common/transparent1px.png)
Corruption can stack up to 5 times. The 5th debuff will be much stronger than the others, so try not to activate the 5th debuff.
How Pressure Builds Up
Step on Unexplored Tiles
![High Activity Level](https://img.gamewith.net/assets/images/common/transparent1px.png)
Pressure increases by 10 every time the player steps on unexplored tiles in stages with high Ether activity (such as Hollow Zero). The Ether activity can be checked at the top right of the Stage Screen.
Events can also Build up Pressure

There are options in some events that can build up Pressure. Even if the event gives players advantages, consider the current number of Corruptions you already have before choosing them.
How to Reduce Pressure
Reduce Pressure at Safety Zones

Entering the Safety Zones will reduce Pressure by 30pt. The Pressure does not go below 0 so if the Pressure is below 20, explore other tiles before entering.
Select Pressure Down at Swift Supply
