Niantic, after reviewing Agents' feedback, decided to change how medals will be awarded on the next Perpetua Hexathlon Events.

• The Perpetua medal will be earned by completing all six challenges of the Hexathlon.

• The Perpetua Elite medal will be earned by completing all six challenges and placing in the top 10% in your city for any of the challenges.

Regarding the Field Test medal: Hexathlon medals will be removed from this event and remain as a commemorative medal for participating in the Field Test.

#Didact Field Challenge. Start: 02.14.20 19:00 UTC. End: 02.24.20 19:00 UTC. More details incoming.

It looks like, with the newest Ingress Prime Update, Niantic may have started looking into blocking custom recoveries for Android Phones. Agent @gollam found out that deleting the TWRP folder from your phone or SD card memory will avoid the block for now. If you don't want to miss your sojourner hack, follow this instruction to be able to log back into the game.

What about you? Are you experiencing the same issue? Join our discussion group and let us know!

Starting Valentine's Day, Feb 14 at 19:00 UTC to Feb 24 at 19:00 UTC, a global challenge will be issued to all Ingress agents to defeat Didact.

During the global challenge window :

2X drop rate of ADA Refactor
2X drop rate of JARVIS Virus

2X AP for resonator destroyed
2X AP for link destroyed
2X AP for field destroyed


A Didact Field Challenge medal will be awarded to agents who accomplish the following milestones during the global challenge window:

Bronze: 100 fields created
Silver: 300 fields created
Gold: 800 fields created


Agents can also track their progress via a Didact: Control Fields Created stat on their agent profiles. Additionally, a temporary Didact loadout kit (8,000 CMU) will soon become available on the in-app Store with L1 Resonator x200, Common Heat Sink x8, SoftBank Ultra Link x3

This month, there are two global challenge goal tiers:

1. BASE: 5,500,000 control fields established
2. STRETCH: 8,000,000 control fields established

Successfully defeating Didact by meeting either the BASE or STRETCH goals by Feb 24 at 19:00 UTC will result in the continuation of the following modifications:

BASE: 2X drop rate of ADA Refactor; 2X drop rate of JARVIS Virus continues to Mar 2 at 19:00 UTC

STRETCH: 2X drop rate of ADA Refactor; 2X drop rate of JARVIS Virus; 2X AP for resonator destroyed; 2X AP for link destroyed; 2X AP for field destroyed continues to Mar 2 at 19:00 UTC

Failure to defeat Didact will result in the temporary drop rate and AP exploit ending on Feb 24 at 19:00 UTC upon termination of the global challenge. Please note that failing to secure the global challenge will not affect Didact medal achievements already awarded to agents during the challenge window.

Status updates with progress towards the global challenge BASE and STRETCH goals will be posted daily in the community forum starting Mon, Feb 17.

Good luck, agents. We are all counting on you.

Brian has commented:

"Yes, 800 fields created in 10 days versus 2,000 fields created in 14 days is a less difficult challenge. But I'd like more people to try and continue through the duration of the global challenge window versus hitting 500 fields created then giving up with many days still remaining. There's also room to play with difficulty across global challenges, and Dec 2019 fell on the lighter side. If agents feel Didact is also too easy, then we can up the difficulty for Optima, Lucida, and beyond.

Regarding nothing happening if agents fail to successfully defeat Didact by creating 5.5M fields, I haven't yet come to appreciate the idea of punishing players for failing to meet a global challenge goal. I like positive reinforcement or rewarding players when they succeed, so ending the temporary hack and AP bonuses felt like enough here."

Thanks to @aristogeiton1 for the link!

@IUENG
Agent @MrChics created this useful infographic explaining the upcoming Didact Field Challenge in a simple way. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Let's defeat Didact!

@IUENG
The Didact Field Challenge has officially begun! We remind you the tiers for the in-app medal!

Bronze: 100 fields
Silver: 300 fields
Gold: 800 fields

To complete the challenge and defeat Didact we need to create 5.5M control fields globally and to obtain even more advantages, we need to create 8M!

Good luck, Agents!
