Niantic is introducing two new types of Event: Ingress2x2 and Restocking Weekends!
Ingress2x2 is a two-hour timespan (in each country's local time) in which Agents will be able to obtain 2x AP (hence, 2x2). By using an Apex, Agent will obtain a 4x AP bonus.
The first two items of this kind are scheduled for:
• Sunday, July 17th @ 1400 to 1600 local time
• Saturday, August 20th @ 1400 to 1600 local time
Restock Weekends are 72-hour periods, on certain weekends, in which a hack output bonus will be applied on pre-determined items.
The first two events of this kind are scheduled for:
• Friday, July 15th @ 1600 UTC to Monday, July 18th @ 1600 UTC
2x hack bonus on Portal Mods and Ultra Strikes
• Friday, August 19th @ 1600 UTC to Monday, August 22nd @ 1600 UTC
2x hack bonus on Resonators and XMP Bursters
⚠ According to Niantic, there is currently no plan to implement a Restocking Weekend nor Ingress2x2 in September 2022 (future dates may also vary from the pattern of this month), and no plan to attach any medal to these two event types.
The team encourages Agents to make their feedback known on the Ingress Forum!

The first Restock Weekend is underway! Until Monday, 1600 UTC, the drop rate of mods and ultra strikes is doubled.
In addition, it seems like agents can now place 4 mods instead of 2.

Our dear friend @NikaKor from the Ingress-related Channel @investigaterussia has started a personal side project about the game, and we thought we'd help out! 😊
The project regards Ingress Medals in particular, and all the stories linked to obtaining them:
"The essence of the game is continuous moving and travelling. So all of our medals literally consist of stories about climbing a mountain for the last portal for onyx Explorer, or about the gift for participating in the MD speed contest."
Help us help Agent @NikaKor on this interesting study, and send him your own story of a Medal adventure!
To help structure them as best as possible, a handy form was made available for Agents!

You will need to enter your Wayfarer actions into this copy of the sheet by 23:59 UTC on July 28 and upload it to the form so that they will be reviewed by Niantic. It will not be possible to add these actions on-site in Munich after this point, it must be entered via this form.
The following actions can be entered and will be fast tracked by Niantic:
🔸Wayspot nominations
🔸New Appeals for already rejected nominations (meaning you can theoretically appeal up to 25 nominations at once)
🔸Edits to Wayspots (title, description, location)
🔸New photos for Wayspots
(*): Should a submission already be decided by the community before Niantic's decision:
- Rejected: the submission will be considered an appeal and will be reviewed again by Niantic

Submitted actions will be reviewed and evaluated by Niantic within 14 days of the anomaly.
After filling out the form, you will also need to make sure that the ticket is scanned by Niantic during the Afterparty of the Anomaly on Saturday so that you are officially checked in, receive a point towards the OPR Live medal, and your submitted actions will be looked at by Niantic.

Niantic introduced a new anticheating technology to Ingress: Compartmental Access Level.
Compartmental Access Level (CAL) is a system that prevents access to select Portal in the world, usually strategic Portals previously used in Agent Operations as well as a "dynamic list of Portals based on XM and Portal Network fluctuations".
The support article explaining this technology states that an Agent's CAL is dynamic and may increase or decrease over time, and it normally increases over time with regular gameplay activity.
A warning (photo) will be shown to players that try to interact with a CAL-protected Portal while not having a high enough Access Level.
If you believe you have encountered such a warning in error, you may contact Ingress Support and submit a ticket under the "Compartmental Access "Level category to receive assistance.

Niantic published the Release Notes for Ingress Prime v2.96.1 and .2!
In this version we have a new feature for all the hardcore AR lovers out there: Audio AR and Head Tracking!
Agents who own a pair of Sony Linkbuds or Linkbuds S with head tracking enabled, will be able to experience this new level of augmented reality: the Agent Avatar will rotate in the direction you're facing, allowing you to literally hear where Portals are located! Citing the changelog, "you can leave your Scanner in your pocket in Battery Saver Mode and hear where Portals are located near you, giving you more spatial awareness of your surroundings."
Additionally, regarding the audio compartment, the Charge and Charge All effect volume has been reduced, and the distance of Portal sounds has been increased.
Finally, the other bugfixes introduced in this update:
- The number of items that will be generated by completing a Kinetic Capsule Program will now be displayed on the selection screen
- Agent stats and dynamic links will not use localization any longer. This had caused some links to fail.
- The overlapping text on limited-time bundles in the store has been resolved, and some purchasable bundles were added to the Attack and Deploy carousels.
- An issue affecting Agents who use Sign in with Google has been fixed.
⚠️ Android users will receive an update to v2.96.2, iOS users will receive an update to v2.96.1.

Sony will be present at the Anomaly afterparty in Munich and will give away over 100 of their LinkBuds!
Version 2.96.1 has introduced the new "Spatial Audio" feature, which can currently only be used with Sony's LinkBuds. With them, sounds in the game will be locked to their location, meaning as you turn your head while wearing the earbuds, you will be able to hear exactly where the portal is, as if it existed in the real world. You can even put the phone in your pocket and listen out for the sound of the Portals as you walk, meaning there’s no longer any need to look at the screen to know where they are.
This feature was developed in cooperation with Sony, who will present it at the afterparty. If you don't have LinkBuds, you can still try them out there and see how they sound in combination with Ingress.
Sony is also giving away over 100 LinkBuds to agents! Since these have quite a decent price tag of around 130€, you shouldn't miss out on this!

The first phase of the Superposition Anomaly has begun! From now on, you can fight globally over Battle Beacons, earn points for your faction, and accumulate the required 10 interactions for the Anomaly Medal.
As a reminder, only the following actions with a portal that has a Battle Beacon placed on it count as an interaction:
🔸Deploying or upgrading resonators (note: upgrading your own resonators does not count).
🔸Attacking resonators
🔸Destroy Portal mods
🔸Destroy links
🔸Charge resonator (on site or with portal key)
In addition, the ADA 2015 medal + items should now be available in the store for 30800 CMU.
Tomorrow at 14:30 local time, the only impact site starts, which includes Shards and NIA-placed Battle Beacons: Superposition in Munich! Even starting today, the Ingress Twitter account will post clues about Dead Drops in Munich, which contain important intel for tomorrow's battle. GORUCK's Stealth Ops will also begin tonight at 9pm, awarding important advantages to the winning faction.

Yesterday evening, at the Superposition Anomaly After-party, Niantic Labs Innovation was announced. This initiative will allow Niantic to introduce experimental features and advanced settings to enable players to customize and enhance their experience with the Ingress Scanner.
In particular, the features that were announced on-stage are:
- Native frame rate: Agents will be able to play Ingress using the native frame rate of their device (using more power from the phone) instead of having it locked at 30fps!
-Nearby Portal Indicators: These indicators, which popped up on the map to indicate the nearest Portals and their distance, could be disabled.
Both these (opt-in) features are slated to be introduced to Ingress in the future Ingress Year 10 update.
The lovely @InvestigateXM was on-site for the Anomaly, and recorded all of the After-party announcements. You can find it on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/G3hCRORROdU
