You get the Zen-Oh Button in Xenoverse 2 from the Festival of Universes: in past festivals it was the weekly reward for earning at least 3,500 Glory Points in certain weeks, and the 6th festival also put three of them on its Total Glory Points ladder at 12,000 points. The item summons Zen-Oh (Zeno) to give your character a massive power boost, which ends if you are knocked out. As of November 2026 the final festival is running, so this is the last scheduled event where it can be earned this way.
We checked this against the fan wiki's Festival of Universes, Free Update and CC Mascot pages, the Dragon Ball wiki's entry on Zeno's Button, Game Rant's festival overview and Bandai Namco's 10th anniversary announcement in November 2026.
What the Zen-Oh Button Is
In the Dragon Ball Super anime, Zeno gives Goku a button that summons him wherever Goku is. Xenoverse 2 uses the Japanese title for Zeno, so in game the item is called the Zen-Oh Button, not Zeno's Button. The Dragon Ball wiki notes that the button first appeared in Xenoverse 2's story as part of the DBS Pack 4 DLC, where Goku drops it during the fight with Goku Black and Zamasu and Chronoa sends your Future Warrior to get it back so Goku can summon the future Zen-Oh.
It became something you can actually own with version 1.21.0, the free update of 12 October 2023 that launched the Festival of Universes. The fan wiki's update log lists "Zen-Oh button item introduced" in that patch's festival notes and "1 new item: Zen-Oh button" further down. Since then, every source of the button that the fan wiki records has been a festival reward.
What It Does in Battle
The Dragon Ball wiki describes the effect simply: the Future Warrior summons Zeno to give themselves a massive power boost, and the effect is lost if the user is knocked out. That second part is the key to using it well. A boost that disappears on a knockout is best saved for a fight you are confident of surviving long enough to cash in on, not thrown out at the start of a chaotic match.
You will see fan videos quoting very large multipliers for the boost. We could not find an official figure from Bandai Namco or a primary source we could verify, so we are not repeating a number here. What is consistent across the sources is the size of the effect (massive) and the knockout rule.
Practical ways players get value from it:
- Hard boss content. Expert Missions and high difficulty quests reward a big damage window. Our Expert Mission locations guide lists the toughest bosses.
- Clutch moments. Use it once the opponent's dangerous moves are on cooldown, so you are less likely to lose the boost to a knockout.
- Not as a crutch. Because supply is limited to festival rewards, build your character to clear content without it, then use buttons to speed up the hardest runs.
How to Get the Zen-Oh Button
Every source of the button so far has been the Festival of Universes. Here is how the rewards have worked, using the fan wiki's festival records.
Weekly Glory Point rewards. Earn at least 3,500 Glory Points during a festival week and you receive that week's prize at the start of the following week. The prizes rotate. In the original nine week format, weeks 3, 6 and 9 awarded a Zen-Oh Button (week 9's arriving at the end of the festival), while other weeks gave TP Medals or a full set of Dragon Balls. Game Rant's overview of the first festival lists the same rotation. In the shorter six week festivals, the button came in weeks 3 and 6.
Total Glory Points ladder. The 6th festival, which ran from 13 July to 24 August 2026, was the first to include buttons on its long term ladder: tier 6, at 12,000 total Glory Points, awarded three Zen-Oh Buttons. The wiki's notes for that festival point out this was the first time buttons appeared there.
The Final Festival. The current festival began on 30 October 2026. Bandai Namco's announcement says hard to find items return during the event but does not list the full reward ladder, so check the Festival of Universes reception bot in your universe lobby for this festival's weekly prizes and tiers before planning around a specific week.
Planning a Festival Week Around the Button
Because the weekly reward has a fixed threshold, a little planning makes it reliable:
- Join a universe team first. Game Rant notes that your activity only counts once you have joined a team at the reception bot.
- Check the week's boosted activity. Each week one activity, such as Parallel Quests, raids, Expert Missions, versus or Cross Versus, earns extra Glory Points. Playing the boosted mode is the fastest way past 3,500.
- Hit the threshold early in the week. Any shortfall means no button for that week, so do not leave it to the last day.
- Collect at the start of the next week. Rewards for the week arrive at the beginning of the following one.
Our full Festival of Universes 2026 guide covers joining, camaraderie and the Xenoverse 3 link rewards in more detail. The same weekly rotation is also one of the easiest ways to get complete Dragon Ball sets, as our Dragon Ball farming guide explains.
The Ladder Path to Three Buttons
The Total Glory Points ladder is cumulative across the whole festival, so the three button tier is a long term goal rather than a weekly one. Using the 6th festival as the most recent complete example, here is everything the fan wiki lists on the way to the 12,000 point tier:
- 1,500 points: the Super Soul "I'll grant you just one wish."
- 3,000 points: 200 Star Coins.
- 5,000 points: 10 Super Mix Capsule Z, the key ingredient for six star QQ Bangs.
- 7,000 points: the full Zamasu's Clothes (Custom) set.
- 9,500 points: another 200 Star Coins.
- 12,000 points: 3 Zen-Oh Buttons.
Past that tier, the same ladder continued with 10 more Super Mix Capsule Z at 15,000, Fu's Clothes (Custom) at 18,000, more Star Coins at 21,500 and the Aura (SS4 DAIMA) at 25,000. Rewards unlock at the beginning of the week after you cross each total, so steady weekly play reaches the button tier and keeps the weekly 3,500 point prizes coming in at the same time. If you also want those Z capsules, our level 6 QQ Bang guide explains what to do with them.
It also helps that you rarely need to leave the festival area to earn points. The wiki lists an Expert Mission bot, a Raid Quest bot, a Parallel Quest bot, a Cross Versus bot and one versus one battle bots inside each universe lobby, so the boosted activity of the week is usually a few steps away.
Other Zen-Oh Items You Might Be Thinking Of
Searching for "Zen-Oh" in Xenoverse 2 also turns up cosmetic items that are easy to confuse with the button:
- Zen-Oh CC Mascot. A small flying Zen-Oh that follows you around Conton City. The fan wiki lists it at 1,500 TP Medals (on weekly rotation) or 1,500 STP Medals, with color variants including Whis Colors, Great Priest Colors (a raid reward) and Turtle School Colors.
- Zen-Oh's Clothes. An outfit first offered as a reward from the "Demented Deity" raid and Crystal Raid Battles, with a recolorable Zen-Oh's Clothes (Custom) version later added to the TP and STP Medal shops.
Neither of these grants the battle boost. Only the Zen-Oh Button item does, so if a guide or video mentions buying "Zen-Oh" from the medal shop, it is almost certainly talking about the mascot.
Why You Might Not Have Received a Button
- You were not on a team. Points earned before joining a universe do not count.
- You fell short of 3,500 Glory Points in the button week.
- You looked too early. The reward arrives at the start of the next week, not the moment you cross the threshold.
- It was not a button week. The weekly rotation also includes Star Coins or TP Medals and Dragon Ball sets.
- You played offline. The festival is an online event, so offline play does not earn Glory Points.
Want a Stack Without Waiting for Festival Weeks?
With the festival schedule winding down, buttons are only going to get harder to earn. The store's God Mode CaC modded save includes this item: the page lists it as "Zeno's Button x12 (infinite)", which is the in-game Zen-Oh Button under its anime name, alongside 99 of all items and all equipment x12. It is a PS4 and PS5 save only and is not available for PC or Xbox. You must already own the game, since only the save file is sold, and the page explains that delivery uses the PS4 or PS5 account handover details you submit so the save can be transferred to your profile.
