The +Delta Bounty Op Campaign has been revealed!

The easternmost countries of the world are starting to receive their +Delta Bounty Op Campaign as they roll into July 1st.
This Campaign will last until September 19th and will reward you with some additional +Delta Tokens as you complete your Daily Bounties!

5 Bounties are available, each rewarding 500 +Delta Tokens every 50 Daily Bounties completed. Completing all five bounties will reward Agents with an additional 500 +Delta Tokens for a total of 3000 Tokens.

This comes as an incentive to Agents wanting to help their faction, as 300 Season Points will be awarded to the factions at the end of the Bounty Op depending on the amount of Daily Bounties claimed during that time frame.

@IUENG

Heads up for Agents that want to dive head first into the Daily Bounties for +Delta!

Agents are reporting that the new Daily Bounties, which are supposed to award +Delta Tokens in regions in which it is already July, are still rewarding +Theta tokens instead. If you want to maximize your +Delta Token gain you should wait with claiming your Daily Bounties until the Ingress team fixes them.

We will update you once that happens on @IUENG_Extra!

(thanks to @Zordo for the heads up ❤️)

Niantic has revealed the full rules for Anomaly Events in the +Delta Anomaly Series!

Not much has changed since the +Theta Season as far as what challenges are going to be played at events, but a notable difference was noticed in the scoring of Shards and in the distribution of Series Points for each Anomaly Event.

As far as Flash Shards are concerned, one point will be assigned to the Faction that makes a Shard travel through a friendly link, 1 additional point will be awarded if the link is longer than 499.5 meters and terminates on another Anomaly Zone Portal. 6 Points will be awarded for scoring a Shard in a target. (Max 4 per Target per wave)

The amount of Series Points for each Anomaly Event has also been redistributed as follows:
GORUCK Stealth Ops: 10 points
GORUCK Urban Ops: 10 points
Battle Beacons: 100 points
Flash Shards: 100 points
Anomaly Bounties: 80 points

Totalling 300 points per Anomaly Event.

The name of the Q4 Anomaly season has been revealed to the POCs:

+Beta

The season will run from October to December 2025 and will see XM Anomalies on the following dates:

🔸18 Oct 2025 @Valencia, Spain and São Paulo, Brazil
🔸25 Oct 2025 @Wellington, New Zealand and Houston, TX, USA
🔸15 Nov 2025 @Taoyuan, Taiwan and The Hague, Netherlands

More details about the season as well as additional events will be revealed as we get closer to it!

(The picture in this post was created by us and is not the official Anomaly logo or Badge design!)

@IUENG

Players in cities that will host an XM Anomaly this season have reported that their +Delta Reso Op has disappeared from their Dispatch screen.

According to reports this can happen as long as you have your Scanner open at or near one of the upcoming XM Anomaly cities, even if you are just traveling through and not interacting with the local portals.

Leaving the affected area does seem to return the Campaign after a while for some Agents, although the exact boundaries of each city and the time you have to wait is unknown. Other Agents have reported that, even after leaving, the Campaign stays hidden.

At the moment, we are not aware if Niantic is working on a solution. If you are affected and have the opportunity to do so, try working on your campaign outside of the city.

UPDATE: Niantic is aware and looking into it!

The following cities will host an Anomaly for +Delta and are therefore likely affected:

🔸Melaka, Malaysia
🔸Portland, OR, USA
🔸Gothenburg, Sweden
🔸Quebec City, Canada
🔸Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia
🔸Cambridge, United Kingdom

Let us know in the comments if you are also affected in an area outside of these cities!

@IUENG

Niantic has released the playboxes for Anomaly Events on August 23rd!

🇸🇪 Gothenburg, Sweden (~1.8km triangle, 530 Portals)

Agents recently voiced their current frustration with Ingress and the way the game is seemingly handled by Niantic Spatial on Reddit.

Brian has replied to that post and has given a bit of insights into the behind the scenes of the team at the moment.

The Ingress team is currently still working on moving from Niantic to Niantic Spatial and is expecting that this transition will continue on for a while longer. Certain processes need to be set up again, such as Mission reviewing which Brian was able to finally set up yesterday for their new team members.

In his comment, Brian also acknowledged the frustration within the community, particularly around the perceived silence from the development team. He emphasized that despite this, the team is listening closely to player feedback—even piping the subreddit’s RSS feed directly into their internal Slack channels.

Finally, Brian will begin collecting frequently asked questions from players and posting responses on Ingress's new Bluesky account. He noted that the decentralized platform gives him more control over how content is shared and curated, and that it’s accessible even without an account—allowing for greater transparency and reach.

We invite you to read his entire comment at the link below or via the Screenshot we have attached in this posts comments.

At the start of the +Delta Reso Op some Agents had problems with the Event Campaign either not showing up or disappearing for a while. The Ingress team had fixed that issue so Agents were able to continue work on their campaign.

Some Agents that were impacted are now receiving an email from the Ingress team and have received 1000 +Delta Tokens and 30,800 CMU as compensation for the issue! If you were affected you should keep an eye out on your inbox and check your CMU balance!

(This issue in question was reported by us here and was a separate issue to the Campaign not starting on time in New Zealand and other countries.)

@IUENG

Item rewards are back in the daily Bounties!

Since the introduction of the +Theta Tokens last season the daily Bounties have stopped awarding Agents with item rewards upon completion of a Bounty. Now some Bounties will once again include items as a reward in addition to the Anomaly tokens!

From initial reports it seems like, depending on the tasks, either one or two of the four daily Bounties have an item reward, while the rest continue to only award Tokens.

@IUENG

The NIA has developed new tools for enhanced Key Management: Sorting by Faction/Portal Health and Starring Portals!

In the upcoming 2.172 update you will be able to sort your Portal Keys based on the faction that owns the Portal: Team, Enemy, Machina and Neutral (in this order). These will further be sorted by Portal Health from low to high so that you will be able to easily see vulnable Portals that need attention, be it through Recharging or Attacking.

Note that the status of a Portal is not updated in real time but instead cached for a time, so Portals that are being fought over do not display their actual status every time you return to the inventory.
---
In an additional upcoming update you will be able to designate Portals as priority! With a new toggle added to the inventory and Capsule view, Portals starred as priority will be shown at the top/on the left of the inventory/Capsule view.

Each Agent will get 3 slots once the feature launches. Each Recursion will permanently add 5 additional slots for a maximum of 25 additional slots (5 Recursions). Active C.O.R.E. subscribers will also get 25 additional slots plus one slot for each month they have been subscribed for a maximum of 50 additional slots (Subscription + 25 months subscribed). When the subscription runs out these slots will be removed.

The maximum achievable Starred Portal Capacity is therefore 78 slots.
