The Game Director of Ingress, Brian Rose, will be visiting the area and is looking forward to a spontaneous meetup with other Agents and a battle over the area to see which faction will come out on top! The exact location will be announced on Monday itself, keep an eye out for it on Brians Twitter page.

The battle of Shinjuku is over! Agents and NIA members of both factions did their best to control Shinjuku, but with an advantage in numbers of about 3:1, the Enlightened won with a score of 25 captured Battle Beacons to 1 from the Resistance!

NIA members Brian and Masashi have also announced that they will attend the Shared Memories anomaly in Hakodate later this year.

Ph.: @absolute119966

โš  This battle was a spontaneous meetup organized by Brian and will not have any effect on the Shared Memories anomaly series.

Shared Memories Rules - Pt. 5
Anomaly Events

These are the main events for every Anomaly Season! Agents will be able to live an action-packed weekend by participating in an Anomaly Weekend.
As far as Anomaly Points distribution is concerned, two main challenges will take place during the Anomalies, spanning across a total of 3 hours. These will distribute 200 Season Points to the Factions.

Anomaly Zone Event: Battle Beacons - 93 points total
NIASection14 will deploy Rare Battle Beacons inside the Anomaly Zone in 6 waves, lasting 30 minutes each.
๐Ÿ”ธAgents will attempt to win the three phases of the Battle Beacons to earn up to 2+3+4 Beacon Points.
๐Ÿ”ธA subset of the Portals on which these Beacons will be spawned will be activated as a Volatile Battle Beacon worth 3x the regular score, so up to 6+9+12 Beacon Points.
๐Ÿ”ธBattle Beacon Category will not influence the score.

The waves with the highest score for each Faction will be used to distribute the 93 Season Points assigned to this challenge.

Anomaly Zone Event: Flash Shards - 93 points total
In each Anomaly Site, 6 waves of 13 Shards each will spawn at 30 minutes intervals, along with 4 fixed Target Portals per Faction.
๐Ÿ”ธAgents will attempt to score a shard, by linking it to their Faction's Target Portal.
๐Ÿ”ธShards only travel along Links connecting L4+ Portals
๐Ÿ”ธIf multiple links to L4+ Portals exist on a Shard, it will randomly select one.
๐Ÿ”ธShards will not backtrack to a Portal they've been on in the prior 25 minutes.
๐Ÿ”ธShards will teleport to another Portal if not moved for 25 minutes.
๐Ÿ”ธMaximum 4 Shards per wave can be scored on a single Target. Successive Shards will be worth 0 points.

The waves with the most Shards captured per Faction will be used to distribute the 93 Season Points assigned to this challenge.

The remaining 14 Season Points will be distributed during NIA TKO Stealth and Urban Challenges. More on this later ๐Ÿ’ช

โš ๏ธ Portal Immunity Instability will be in effect during these events! We will explain this mechanic in a later post.

Shared Memories Rules - Pt. 6
Portal Immunity Instability


For Shard Skirmishes and Anomaly Events, Portals will experience instability in their immunity periods for ADA Refactors and Jarvis Viruses.

Starting times
Shard Skirmishes: approx. 15:00 local time of first city
Anomaly Events: approx. 13:00 local time of first city
Ending times
Shard Skirmishes: approx. 17:40 local time of last city
Anomaly Events: approx. 18:00 local time of last city

During these windows, the โ€œCurrent Immunity Periodโ€ will be modified, globally, approximately every 30 minutes, affecting all portals immediately, regardless of when they were last flipped. Immunity times will vary between 5 and 55 minutes.

When a Portal flip is attempted using a Jarvis Virus or ADA Refactor, the time of the last flip will be compared to the โ€œCurrent Immunity Periodโ€, not the Immunity Period from the time of the last flip.

Here is a practical example:
-At time 15:00:00 the immunity period is set to be 50 minutes.
- An Agent successfully flips a Portal at 15:22:00.
- At 15:30:00, the Immunity Period changes to be 10 minutes long. Since the last flip happened 8 minutes ago, 2:00 minutes of immunity remain.
- At 15:31:00, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip fails since one more minute of immunity remains.
- At 15:32:01, an Agent attempts to flip the Portal again. The flip succeeds.

ADA Refactors and Jarvis Viruses will be expended during both failed and successful flip attempts, as usual.

Nobody will be able to know these values before or during the event.
The list of values will be released after the conclusion of each event. A hash of this list will be released prior to each event, to verify that all values were pre-planned.

Shared Memories Rules - Pt. 7
Purchasable Medals


The Shared Memories series will introduce 4 brand new medals to buy as well as a rerun of the 2016 Hank Johnson medal! The medal kits will be available in the in-game store according to the following schedule:

๐Ÿ”ถ August 18 - August 28
- Hank Johnson 2024 (new!)
- Hank Johnson 2016 (Re-release)

๐Ÿ”ถ August 30 - September 9
- Shared Memories: Supporter (new!)

๐Ÿ”ถ September 20 - September 30
- Azmati 2024 (new!)
- Liu Tien Hua 2024 (new!)

๐Ÿ”ถ September 24 - September 30
- All five kits above at the same time

The medal kits will cost 30,800 CMU each (~23โ‚ฌ).

Tip: Planning to buy multiple medals? It might make sense to buy a bigger CMU package! This is how much each medal will cost in Euro if you buy the corresponding CMU package if you start with a balance of 0 CMU:

- 32,000 CMU (23.99โ‚ฌ): 23.09โ‚ฌ per medal
- 90,000 CMU (59.99โ‚ฌ): 20.53โ‚ฌ per medal
- 200,000 CMU (119.99โ‚ฌ): 18.48โ‚ฌ per medal

Niantic has published all details for the "Pursue Human Potential | Evolution Unbound" Global Event!

This event will run from Friday, July 26th @ 1600 UTC to Monday, August 12th @ 1600 UTC.

During this timeframe, the following bonuses will be active for all Agents:
๐Ÿ”ธ2x AP on all actions
๐Ÿ”ธ2 L8 Resonators will be deployable on a Portal by each Agent
๐Ÿ”ธDrone cooldown reduced to 8 minutes
๐Ÿ”ธWeapons will undergo some "experimental tuning"
๐Ÿ”ธNew Glyph Sequences may be observed during the event

โš ๏ธ During the operation, the regularly scheduled Double AP 2sday bonus hour will not be activated because double AP will be granted throughout the duration of the entire period.

Finally, the three โ€œLevel 8โ€ medals (Resistance, Enlightened and Machina) will be made available in the in-app Ingress Store again at the price of 2500 CMU each.

We are particularly eager to observe the "experimental tuning" which will be in effect during the event and the fluctuations that will occur to Glyph Sequences. Report any findings in our discussion group or on social networks with the #ingress hashtag!

Shared Memories Rules - Pt. 8 and final
NIA TKO Challenges


Every Anomaly Site normally hosts 3 NIA TKO Challenges, organized by GORUCK.

๐Ÿ”ธStealth Ops and Urban Ops
A series of competitive, physical challenges which are disputed respectively in the night before or the morning of the Anomaly. These events contribute to the score of an Anomaly Site, distributing 7 Season Points per challenge to the two factions.

๐Ÿ”ธOperation Clear Field
An optionally crossfaction service-themed scavenger hunt with competitive Ingress exploration. Usually held the morning after the Anomaly.

All these are paid events hosted by GORUCK, and participants will obtain a patch of the event they participated in, and a point on their respective Ingress Badge.
If you are willing to put your own physical strength and power on the line to help your Faction in first person, this is the perfect way to do so!

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ Virtual Ingress First Saturday Warsaw, Poland - August 3rd, 2024

As longtime followers of our channel may know, we don't usually advertise Ingress First Saturday events, but when we do, it's because these events are organized with a special motive.

This event, which will be held in the Polish capital, will be very meaningful, as it is a memorial event dedicated to Agent Marudosuav, who recently and too soon, left this world. The local community remembers him as a very active member of the Resistance and more of a friend than an enemy to the Enlightened.

As the Shared Memories Anomaly Season is about to begin, we are invited by the organizing team to share our fondest memories of any game-related encounters with agents you may no longer be able to meet and miss, as well as moments of joy or support that prove Ingress is more than a game and that Agents from both factions are more than opponents.

Niantic has made an update to the Global Shared Link Challenge.

After reports from Agents that the challenge "presented a very high level of difficulty", a change was implemented so that more Portal Keys now drop from Portals when it is Glyph Hacked with the "More" command. This change is active for all Portals, no matter if it is friendly, neutral or enemy controlled.

Additionally, when destroying an enemy or Machina Portal, the chance that a Key can drop from a destroyed Link has been increased.

As part of the "experimental weapon tuning" announced by Niantic for the "Pursue Human Potential | Evolution Unbound" Challenge, Agents have observed that the maximum bonus power obtainable by long-pressing the Fire button has now been raised to 30% from the previous 20%!

We are looking out for more changes to weapons behaviour and we'll keep you posted in case more examples will be found.

Attention all Agents in Tรผrkiye!

As you probably know Machina is currently disabled in Tรผrkiye and has been for a while. While the concrete reason is unknown, it was speculated in the past that this may have been due to the addition of Foursquare POIs as Portals in low density areas, which lead to exponential growth of Machina while it was still active.

The NIA is now working on removing these Foursquare Portals from the Network to ensure only Portals that have been accepted via Niantic Wayfarer will remain on the board.

Additionally, the NIA has intercepted a message: "Machina veniet" = Machina is coming. After the Portals have been removed you should keep an eye out for the re-emergence of Machina throughout the country.

Under the motto "2 cities in 2 countries united", which was also reflected in the logo of this event, a successful Mission Day in ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ Kreuzlingen, Switzerland and ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Konstanz, Germany was held on July 27th, 2024!

In the pictures above, you can find the wonderful group photo, shot right on the border between the two hosting countries, depicting around 80 smiling Agents enjoying the sunshine and the friendly company!
Each and every one of the participants was able to pick up 9 Mission Day BioCards and a fabric bracelet in green, black or blue and had the chance to sign the Swiss XF guestbook!

Over 100 agents were present throughout the day, as some missions had been run 101 times by midnight.
The event recorded participations from England, France, the Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and even a student from China who is currently studying in Lausanne!

We would like to congratulate the orga team on a very successful and uniting event! We know that many people were involved in the preparation and organization, logo and website design and swag ideas, and we are confident when we say that Ingress is the game we all love, in great part, thanks to people like you!
