#Rumours #Teardown
Ingress Prime Teardown - v2.45.1
Another version, another teardown by our friends at FevGames! Not a whole lot was worked on behind the scenes, but it looks like Battle Beacons might be imminent.
Battles
From the looks of it, the tutorial for the Battles has finished development, and with it, graphics explaining the new gameplay has been found. While they don't make it 100% clear how one has to battle over a portal, it seems like multiple people can participate, there's a score system, multiple rounds can be played and hacking seems to "heal".
In addition, it seems like the results of a battle will be announced in COMM.
Comm Upgrades
Two new lines of code indicate some quality of life improvements for COMM.
Currently, when you scroll up and a new action appears in COMM, you'll be sent back to the bottom. It seems like this will no longer be the case!
While it isn't entirely clear what this does, FevGames speculates it might be a filter for COMM to only show actions you specify, e.g. fields, battle beacons, frackers etc.
Thanks a bunch to Fevnir and the folks at FevGames for compiling all the new changes!

Hi Agents!
This is IUENG staff speaking 👋
We normally don't post IFS pictures as it would be a huuuuge number of posts in one day, and we will keep this line.
But, to share the feelings of this event from distance, to feel a bit nearer one to the other, we have decided to open, only for 24 hours, the possibility to share your personal or group pictures in our chat.
Remember that the rules pinned in the group have to be followed as long as you are a member, but feel free to join to share your picture and see the other Agents'!

Agents have reported findings of a new Ingress Stickers Pack, apparently shared by Brian Rose, which at the moment only contains the NL-1331X avatar.

And with the latest Ingress Update comes, timely, the Teardown by our friends at FevGames!
These are the latest hidden features in Ingress Prime v2.46.1!
Battle Beacon
- The amount of total rounds in a battle has been made dynamic, while the default seems to remains at 6 rounds. This means that this property is now configurable.
App Ratings
- A new flag was added to draw a "Rate our app" notice in the settings page. We share the authors' thoughts in saying that the current rating for both iOS and Android Scanners is pretty low, but the amount of work the team put in from the "scuffed beyond belief" release is considerable given the improvements brought to the present version of the game.
Subscription store
- This feature, for now, is clearly under early development, so nothing specific can be said at the moment. Only the icon of a lock has been found in relation to this section of the Scanner.
Fireworks!
- The mysterious "unknown5" powerup has finally been unveiled! It is available in 3 different formats: ENL, RES and Neutral.
- This powerup falls under the same category as the "APEX" powerup, which means it will be applied to the player, not to portals. Our guess is that they will be displayed on the map at a player's location and they seem to be tied to Battle Victory but, until new data is discovered, nothing else is known about this new item.
Sound
- New audio files have been discovered: the majority of them regards Subscriptions and Battles.
By listening to these files, Items and CMU are "flying out". Could these be rewards for the subscriptions?
Performance management
- Niantic is now monitoring the time taken by Unity and the whole app to load, which might indicate Niantic's intent to shorten those times.

A big thank you to the FevGames Team and to Fevenis for this article!

Our friends at FevGames tore down the latest Ingress Prime version: v2.47.2! Here are the new developments in the game.
Battle Beacons
The saga continues: rewards for Battles will apparently be "tiered". We can also see the new "Battle Tied" beacon and a new string:
These are new in the game: we are not referring to Badges, these might likely be temporary tasks for Agents, much like the ones proposed by the known application AoD.
Subscriptions
Some of you may not like this...
Apparently this new feature will have something to do with Inventory Space, although it's still way too early to tell which benefits will be sold with Subscriptions.
These strings were found:
A new item
The code for this feature is well obfuscated, there's nearly nothing to be said about them.
Once again, a huge thanks to the guys at FevGames and Fevenis in particular for their work!

Agents found an interesting bug in the latest Ingress Prime version. Under certain conditions, the Dronenet button will appear in the main menu and show the screen you can view in this video. Further clarification from Brian Rose, producer, specified that this is not the final feature, rather just a technical bug due to the code for Dronenet being only partially present in v2.47.2
