Niantic will also release special physical Swag that is only available on-site. In addition to the already announced Supporter Kit, the team will also offer the following:

๐Ÿ”ธEpiphany Dawn Anomaly T-shirt
๐Ÿ”ธEpiphany Dawn Coin (L.A Version)
๐Ÿ”ธEpiphany Dawn Pin (L.A Version)

NL-1331x will be on site in Los Angeles! Hacking it's portal will award you one tick towards the NL-1331 Meetup Badge, awarded approximately 48 hours after the end of Mission Day. The portal will be online from Friday until Sunday midnight.

Speaking of, a Mission Day for Sunday, the day after the anomaly, has also been confirmed. This coincides with Second Sunday, so you'll receive a tick for both badges when completing 6 Mission Day missions.

There will be special guests! In addition to the Ingress team, Niantic CEO John Hanke together with 1218 NIA director and turned traitor Hank Johnson will be the After Party Presenters for after the anomaly! If you have bought a VIP After Party ticket, you'll have a chance to meet them both.

We once again want to reiterate that these details should be seen as NOT FINAL until the official announcement by Niantic.

The fifth kit of the X Series kits is online! This kit is all about Truthseeker and wearer of hats: P. A. Chapeau, also known as PAC! The following is included in a kit:

๐Ÿ”ธ One X Series medal card: P. A. Chapeau (new medal!).
๐Ÿ”ธ 3 mystery medal cards
๐Ÿ”ธ One VR loadout card
๐Ÿ”ธ Capsule patch
๐Ÿ”ธ Capsule pin
๐Ÿ”ธ Bronze Ingress sticker
๐Ÿ”ธ Bronze envelope

A kit costs $30 plus shipping. As seen by the still available Kit 4, Niantic seems to have stocked up on individual kits, so it shouldn't sell out that quickly.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Ingress Mission Day Budapest, Hungary
October 9th, 2022.

Agents, you are invited to Budapest!
Does anybody still remember Lexicon? She was a member of Nemesis and departed without a fight two years ago. Or didnโ€™t she? If there are any traces left, it might be worth looking in the libraries, there are many in Budapest. This will be the dayโ€™s mission. Plus, by completing at least 6 missions, you also get +1 for the Second Sunday badge.

Group photo at 11:00 local time, the location is marked on the map below.

Niantic has published the release notes for version 2.101.3!

There has been some tweaking to readability and visibility. The main map now features ponds, oceans, and other bodies of water to make navigation easier. The base color of the map has also been changed to make it easier to see in sunlight, and the end of the visible map has been rounded off so you can't see the individual parts of the map tiles that were previously in a square.

The setting of the Lighting Dynamics have also been changed so that they now have a greater effect on the map. Niantic also mentions once again that the XM has been reset to white.

The bug fixes this time around include a crash that popped up on some Android devices, as well as an issue with iOS 16 that prevented you from using the Sony LinkBuds with Ingress as intended.

Today is the last day of the 90 second cooldown. Since Niantic has to change the cooldown manually, there is no exact time of when this will happen, but according to our information the change will happen at around 16 UTC, give or take a few.

If you need portal keys for your link planning or if you want to fill up your inventory, you should hack as much as you can today until the changeover!

After the changeover tonight, the following cooldown rules will apply:

๐Ÿ”ธThe cooldown will be set to 5 minutes for neutral portals and portals belonging to the enemy faction.
๐Ÿ”ธCooldown will be set to 180 seconds for portals belonging to your own faction.

CMU and C.O.R.E. are getting more expensive!

Blame Apple, which has raised the price tiers developers can set for in-app purchases and subscriptions. The price of CMU packages and C.O.R.E. will increase starting on October 5th for some Agents both on iPhone and Android, as Niantic will be making similar changes on other platforms as well.

Example: As Apple has removed the 5,49โ‚ฌ price tier for IAP, the price of C.O.R.E. will likely be raised to the next highest tier, 5,99โ‚ฌ. Niantic can choose to keep already existing subscribers on the old price tier, however.

Countries involved in Apple's fee increment are:

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ Territories that use the Euro currency
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Chile
๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ Egypt
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต Japan
๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ Malaysia

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Poland
๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท South Korea
๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช Sweden
๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ Vietnam
