Wipeout™ Zone: 28018
0Zone is a game mode first introduced in Wipeout Fusion. In Zone, players are given a special kind of ship known as the Zone Ship that starts from the lowest speed class and gradually speeds up as it progresses through the Zones. The Zone Ship possesses no way of slowing down and will continuously keep speeding up as the player laps the track chosen for the event. The objective of Zone is to navigate successfully around the track without damaging the ship for as long as possible before suffering too much damage, destroying the ship.
When starting a Zone event, the players are given to choose which team they wish to race for just as in any other event. Zone ships are maxed out in stats (All set to 10) and look alike. Once gameplay has started, the ship starts from Zone 0 and gradually speeds up. Picking up speed makes the ship move through the Zones and also through the Speed Classes.
Players can navigate the Zone Ship using the standard controls and airbrakes. However, in Zone, the ship will accelerate automatically, and will not slow down if the thrust button is released. There is no way to slow down the ship from its current speed (slamming into a wall will stop the ship for a while but it will automatically accelerate to its current speed once contact is gone from the wall). Careful though, it is not necessary to speed through the track in the wrong direction, as it will cause the ship to start draining energy if the player doesn't turn around immediately. This also occurs on Zone Battle and Detonator.
As the ship advances through the speed Zones, controlling the ship becomes harder as the ship becomes gradually faster, requiring more skill in navigation to successfully lap a track with minimal damage done onto the ship. If the player has taken damage and is able to successfully pilot the ship for a period of time without taking any damage, the ship will gradually heal itself. However the heal timer is reset every time the ship sustains damage. This makes is harder to keep the ship going in the faster Zones and eventually the player will be unable to pilot well enough to survive.
Destruction is ensured in Zone Mode. Once the shield energy reaches zero (and the ship gets hit once again), the ship will explode, bringing the event to an end and the Results screen. Here, players can view their stats; how many Zones they cleared, how many were perfect, top speed achieved, etc.
Loyalty points are also awarded to players based on how many Zones they cleared and how many were perfect, as well as perfect laps (the ship does not hit the wall for a whole lap). Zone mode is one of most effective methods of increasing loyalty points as a skillful pilot can amass approximately 3,000 points in a 15-minute run.
