Near the end of First Neo Zeon War, the ΖΖ Gundam was modified into the Enhanced ΖΖ Gundam. Its balance was adjusted and new armor added. In consideration of the increase in dry weight due to additional armor, the shoulder thruster binders are replaced with higher performance version, thrusters throughout the body are enhanced, and thrust strengthening packs are added to the rear leg nozzles. The suit's backpack was also changed to a larger type and the backpack's main engine is retrofitted with four new thermonuclear jets/rockets, resulting in greatly improved mobility.

While the original had 21-tube missile launchers on the backpack, limited to one missile per launch tube, the Enhanced ZZ replaced them with a pair of 18-tube missile launchers, with each tube carrying a two-missile magazine for additional salvos. The armor has beam-resistant coating with fluorine resin, making it possible to withstand a direct hit of about a few seconds from low power beams. Anaheim Electronics further upgraded the mobile suit with additional external armor, tested in the FA-010A FAZZ, and weapons into the FA-010S Full Armor ZZ Gundam, which corrected its structure problem.

After Judau and a number of AEUG members "hijacked" the SCVA-76 Nahel Argama, they arrived on Axis right in the middle of civil war between Haman Karn and Glemy Toto's followers. The conflict soon became a three-way battle, with Judau facing various new powerful units like the AMX-014 Döven Wolf and NZ-000 Queen Mansa. The ZZ Gundam was in need of an upgrade.

It had long been decided (even before the ZZ Gundam was finished by one year) that to fix the unit's inherent weak structure, a full armor option was needed. However, some minor improvements to the ZZ itself must be made before the full armor components can be applied. The upgrade re-designated the Gundam to be MSZ-010S Enhanced ZZ Gundam.
