Wondering what it takes to earn the Cryptic Memories Global Ops Medal?
We've done a few calculations and we are sharing them with you!
Bronze Medal - 1.500 points
- 63 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 94 full-deploys of neutral Portals
Silver Medal - 15.000 points
- 625 neutralizations and full-deploys of fully-deployed enemy (or Machina-controlled) Portals
OR
- 938 full-deploys of neutral Portals
It's a steep road to Silver, but we know this threshold will be reached by many 💪

Important update to the Chicago anomaly in May
After consideration and discussion with the POCs of the Chicago anomaly the decision was made by Niantic to reschedule the Anomaly, delaying it by a week from May 18 to May 25.
This decision was made in part due to a separate event that is held in Chicago on the weekend of May 18 causing prices for hotels to skyrocket and making it very expensive to visit the city during that time.

Niantic released a new Medal to celebrate the start the upcoming end of the Lunar year!
The Lunar New Year 2023 medal is now available to purchase in the ingame store for 2500 CMU. While the year of the Rabbit will be over in February already, Brian has posted on Twitter that "the Lunar New Year 2024 medal will be added in less than 365 days", so we can expect a medal for the year of the Dragon as well closer to the actual Lunar New Year!

In some parts of the world the Second Sunday for this month has already started. Due to a (now fixed) issue, it was possible that the Scanner didn't credit Agents towards the Second Sunday stat for completing 6 missions.
If you have completed 6 missions in a time zone in which the Second Sunday was already underway and you didn't receive your stat credit, open a support ticket via the in-app “Settings” menu > “Report Problem”.
As the issue has been fixed now, going forward, completing the 6 missions for the Second Sunday should now correctly credit the point towards the statistic so if you haven't already completed 6 missions you should have no problems.

Coincidently, today is the first time you can receive the platin tier of the Second Sunday medal, marking 24 Second Sundays since the medal was introduced in February 2022! Share your medals with us in the comments!

New links under fields can now be up to 2km long!
After reviewing global activity during the Discoverie series, Niantic has decided that the maximum distance for new links under fields will be raised from 500m to 2km until further notice.
This limit will stay in effect during upcoming events like Anomalies, Global Challenges and Operations and will not be raised to 8km as it has been done during the Anomaly series in 2023.
