Basketball: Zero just dropped one of its most game-changing updates yet — and it’s got something for everyone. Whether you’re all about fast breaks or locking down your opponent, the Chuck and Lock update is packing heat.
Let’s break it down.
Two bold new play styles have entered the court: Chuck, a chaotic 50/50 offensive gamble that’s either glorious or goofy (but always fun), and Lock, a long-awaited pure defense powerhouse that finally gives shutdown players their moment. If you’ve ever screamed at your screen because defense felt useless — yeah, this one’s for you.
Then there are the new zones. Unbreakable ensures no ankle breaks on failed steals (clutch!), while Speed Dribble lets you tear across the court like you just drank three energy drinks.
Now let’s talk cosmetics — they went all in. You’ve got a Vampire Cape, a Fancy Walk emote that oozes disrespect, and a Time Stop goal effect that’s pure chaos. Even your player card can go full Dracula.
AFK grinding is now a thing with the new AFK Chamber — rack up spins, cash, and more just by chilling. And if you’re vibing in 3v3, there are now event quests with rewards for just showing up and putting in the work.
On the flip side, if you’re a match-dodger, beware: the new penalty system is live. Repeated bailouts in 3v3 now earn you escalating bans. Harsh? Maybe. Necessary? Definitely.
They’ve also thrown in a bunch of QoL improvements, from adjustable keybinds and smarter matchmaking to a slightly wider court and smoother pass animations. Oh — and yes, they fixed a ton of bugs. Sniper’s ball glitches? Gone. Athletic Fade launches? Grounded. Camera clipping into the abyss? No more.
And for those asking — yes, there are codes for the game, so keep your eyes peeled for rewards.
Think you’ve mastered Chuck or Lock? Or maybe you’re just here for the vampire drip? Let’s talk about it in the comments — drop your best strats or questions below.
