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.

Heading to the Portland anomaly this weekend? The Ingress team is holding a special pre-sale for merch that can be picked up at the Anomaly on Sat Aug 16 at Faction After Parties and on Sun Aug 17 at 9:00AM at the Mission Day group photo site.

This sale functions as a test run of trying to cover the costs of flights of a team member attending the Anomaly and may pave the way forward for other events like a NL-1331X van tour, which could double as a mobile popup merch store to cover its own operational cost.

You can look through and buy some Swag for local pickup here: https://ingressmerch.myshopify.com/

International shipping for the Merch Store will be added sometime after the Portland Anomaly too!

🇮🇹🇸🇮 Ingress Mission Day Gorizia & Nova Gorica - December 6th, 2025

Agents, prepare for a Mission Day unlike any other. Join us in Gorizia (Italy) and Nova Gorica (Slovenia) for a truly cross-border Ingress adventure where culture, history, and community come together beyond borders.

These twin cities, once divided by political lines, now stand as a symbol of unity in the heart of Europe.
Gorizia boasts a well-preserved medieval old town, with an imposing castle and numerous historic churches and palaces in the Habsburg style. Nova Gorica, on the other hand, is a recently founded modern city, with interesting architecture and a vibrant cultural scene.

This year, both cities were elected European Capitals of Culture, united under the motto GO! Borderless.
​Two states, two cities, but a single territory without borders, a single Mission Day.
Whether you're Enlightened or Resistance, this is your chance to cross borders, physically and metaphorically, with every step you take.

Niantic has revealed the details of the +Delta Campaign: Field which will run from 30 August at 00:00 local time to 14 September at 23:59 local time!

During the Campaign you will receive 7 Bounties per Assignment, involving earning “+Delta Field Points”, creating Fields, destroying Fields, claiming Kinetic Programs.

Agents who complete all 7 available Bounties will be awarded 1000 +Delta Tokens, valid to improve the level of their +Delta Series Medal! You can also choose to skip up to 2 Bounties per Assignment, which forfeits 100 Tokens each.

+Delta Field Points
There are multiple ways to earn +Delta Field Points by creating and destroying Fields:

🔸Creating a Control Field awards 50 Field Points, multiplied by the number of Agents owning the links (up to 3). This number will then again be multiplied by an "Equilaterality percentage" plus 1.
🔸When owning a Link that is used to create a Field, the same formula as above is applied, but the 50 base points are reduced to 15.
🔸Destroying a field awards 250 Field Points.

Control Field Equilaterality percentage
A percentage from 0% to 100% calculated depending on how equilateral a triangle is. (E.g. A triangle with 3 sides that are the same length will obtain a 100%)

The result of this Campaign will also influence the score of the +Delta Anomaly Season with points distributed as follows:
100 Season Points based on the number of Bounties claimed by each Faction.
200 Season Points based on the total of “+Delta Field Points” scored by each Faction.

The Ingress team has announced an upcoming price increase for Key Lockers in the store.

On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, at 00:00 UTC, the price for a single Key Locker will be raised from 3700 CMU to 20.000 CMU (~15€/~$13).

This decision was "not made lightly" and will be implemented to ensure that Ingress will stay sustainable in the long run without resorting to pay-to-win.

If you have already bought Key Lockers there will be no change to them, and the currently existing limit of 6 Key Lockers per account will remain unchanged. Should you not have 6 Key Lockers yet we encourage you to buy the rest of the Key Lockers before the increase in price.

The team recognises that inventory management is "a constant challenge" for many and is exploring more ways to offer inventory expansion features.

The Ingress team has updated a few things about the +Delta Campaign: Field!

The base value for creating a field has been doubled from 50 +Delta Field Points to 100 Points. According to the Ingress team that means that a single, well planned field can earn you up to 780 +Delta Field Points. This change was made to encourage working together with your faction and to bridge the gap between creating and destroying Fields, which is worth 250 points. The team also mentioned that destroying your own factions field does not count and will not earn you any points.

The Bounties for the first assignment have been posted as well:

- Earn 3,000 +Delta Field Points
- Earn 5,000 +Delta Field Points
- Create 12 Control Fields
- Create 20 Control Fields
- Destroy 8 Control Fields
- Destroy 12 Control Fields
- Claim 4 Kinetic Programs

Assuming the same 25% increase of the base value of the initial Assignment, we can speculate the requirements for the restarts as well:

- Earn 3,750/4,500/5,250/6000 +Delta Field Points
- Earn 6,250/7,500/8,750/10,000 +Delta Field Points
- Create 15/18/21/24 Control Fields
- Create 25/30/35/40 Control Fields
- Destroy 10/12/14/16 Control Fields
- Destroy 15/18/21/24 Control Fields
- Claim 5/6/7/8 Kinetic Programs

Note that these values are not confirmed and are just speculation based on the prior +Delta Campaign: Reso event!

The Ingress team is making changes to the daily free items in the store!

The free items will rotate each day to offer a different free item. This rotation will be on the following schedule starting next week:

- Sunday UTC: 1x high-level Resonator
- Monday UTC: 2x mid-level PowerCubes
- Tuesday UTC: 1x Common Shield
- Wednesday UTC: 2x mid-level Resonators
- Thursday UTC: 1x Common Heatsink
- Friday UTC: 1x high-level XMP Bursters
- Saturday UTC: 1x Common Multi-Hack

The current free items for C.O.R.E. subscribers (monthly Kinetic Capsule) and Agents that have Recursed 5 times (weekly Hypercube) are not affected.

The team sees this change as an experiment and will be analysing the data from Agents and how they use these items.

Heads up to all Agents that have used Niantic Supply in the past:

Players are reporting that they are getting hit with spam and phishing emails via the email address they have entered during an order from the Niantic Supply store, seemingly indicating that some sort of data has been leaked to 3rd-party actors. Please be aware, keep an eye out and do not open any links or call any numbers from unknown email addresses.

In the specific example above, the Agent has used an email alias, which means that the specific email was used only for Niantic Supply, and has placed a subscription order during the Ingress X Series Kit releases.

The IITC-CE Mobile app has returned to the Play Store!

On November 1, 2021 Google started to require so called "Scoped Storage" for new App updates amongst other changes, which IITC did not have at that time. Since then, updates to IITC Mobile were only available via F-Droid or the IITC-CE website.

This problem has been fixed and, with version 0.41.0, the App is back and updated on the Play Store!

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.exarhteam.iitc_mobile

(Note that if you currently have IITC Mobile installed manually via an APK you might need to uninstall it first before reinstalling it via the Play Store)
