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.

Cryptic Memories - Global Op and Anomaly sites
Global Op
The Cryptic Memories - Global Op is a global challenge event that started on January 12th and will run until February 5th. Agents need to destroy, deploy and upgrade Resonators to gain points which, once at a certain threshold, award the "Cryptic Memories: Global Op" medal.
200 Series Points will be allocated proportionally based on the number of Agents earning any tier of the “Cryptic Memories: Global Op” medal per faction.
You can find all the details about the Global Op in one of our previous posts here: https://t.me/IUENG/6535
Anomaly Sites
Agents will battle over the control of 4 cities during two separate days. The rules for the Anomaly Site Battle largely follows the rules of the 2023 Anomalies for Battle Beacons, but include important changes to the Flash Shards rules! Each Anomaly Site is worth up to 200 Series Points.
Anomaly Zone Battle Beacons
🔸 6 Battle Beacon waves in 3 hours, one every 30 minutes.
🔸 Each Battle Beacon is worth 2+3+4 = 9 points, based on checkpoints won.
🔸Battle category does not affect the score.
🔸Volatile Battle Beacons are worth 3x the base points.
🔸The maximum score for each faction from any of the Battle Beacon waves during the Anomaly Period is their raw score. 93 points are divided in proportion to the raw score.
Flash Shards Challenge
🔸31 Shards and 6 Target Portals will manifest over the course of the Anomaly
🔸Shards jump via L4+ links every 10 minutes
🔸A new batch of 4 to 7 shards is generated every 30 minutes
🔸NEW: Shards are scored depending on the time they arrive at the Target Portal:
- Scored between 14:00 - 15:00: 1 point
- Scored between 15:00 - 16:00: 2 points
- Scored between 16:00 - 17:00: 3 points
🔸The first five shards secured on a faction's target portal are counted, regardless of which faction controls the target portal at that time and regardless of the point value of the Shard. Any additional Shards after the fifth on the same target portal scores 0 points.
Interacting with at least 5 NIA Battle Beacons will award Agents with the "Cryptic Memories" Anomaly medal. This medals is different from the "Cryptic Memories: Global Op" medal that can be gained from the Global Op.

Flash Shards Challenge
🔸31 Shards and 6 Target Portals will manifest over the course of the Anomaly
🔸Shards jump via L4+ links every 10 minutes
🔸A new batch of 4 to 7 shards is generated every 30 minutes
🔸NEW: Shards are scored depending on the time they arrive at the Target Portal:
- Scored between 14:00 - 15:00: 1 point
- Scored between 15:00 - 16:00: 2 points
- Scored between 16:00 - 17:00: 3 points
🔸The first five shards secured on a faction's target portal are counted, regardless of which faction controls the target portal at that time and regardless of the point value of the Shard. Any additional Shards after the fifth on the same target portal scores 0 points.
Interacting with at least 5 NIA Battle Beacons will award Agents with the "Cryptic Memories" Anomaly medal. This medals is different from the "Cryptic Memories: Global Op" medal that can be gained from the Global Op.
