โš  Daily Bounties issues after Daylight Saving Time switch.

Last night, in some countries, clocks were rolled back by one hour after Daylight Saving Time ceased to be in effect.
This brought some issues in-game, with Agents reporting not being able to redeem their daily bounties any longer.

If you are affected by this, some Agents report that a full reboot of the app or a resync may be beneficial, but this appears to resolve the issue only for a small percentage of players.

Update 28/10: Niantic published a message on their Telegram channel apologizing for the inconvenience. The team reports that they have identified all affected players and will be credited with 60 +Beta Tokens.

๐Ÿšจ Niantic announced the return of Operation Portal Recon and the Seer medal!

The new platform for reviewing Portal nominations and edits will be opened to Agents on November 10th at 18:00 UTC!

It will be a phased rollout starting with Level 16 Agents and Recursed Agents to ensure that the platform remains stable under load. After some time, Agents at lower levels will also be allowed to access the platform.

Additionally, after almost 10 years, the Seer medal is making its return to the game! Its tiers will be based on the Discovered Portals stat which already counts all Portals that you have submitted and which went live in Ingress, including under the old Seer system. That means that credit for all Portals accepted will be backfilled!
The Seer Points that were already awarded to Agents will be moved to a new stat: Archival Seer Points, for better distinction.

The tiers for this Medal, at the moment, are as follows:
๐Ÿ”ธ 10
๐Ÿ”ธ 50
๐Ÿ”ธ 200
๐Ÿ”ธ 500
๐Ÿ”ธ 5000

The theme and the design of the #Year13 medal have been "leaked" by Amazon! Following the post from Brian a few days ago hinting at it being themed around stars we now know more about the story:

The medal will be called "Voyager" and its design could be this one, featuring a satellite, very reminiscent of the Voyager spacecrafts!

The name fits the space exploration theme particularly well, immediately calling to mind the twin space probes launched by NASA in 1977.
After completing their mission - aiding in the study of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - they continued their journey, and both are now traveling through interstellar space, becoming the first human-made objects to enter said region. They are still sending data back to Earth, although faintly fading out of reception range.

If you want to get the Year 13 shirt, you can now buy them on Amazon:

Ingress is celebrating their 13th anniversary and is updating to Ingress 3.0!

The in-game designs of the celebratory medals have been unveiled, and they will be awarded to all Agents who scored at least 1 AP from the day of Ingress' 12th anniversary.

Additional information have been revealed for the future of Ingress! As part of the transition to Niantic Spatial, the Scanner will advance to version 3.0 in the next update, featuring the new Niantic Spatial logo when starting and renaming Ingress Prime back to just Ingress. No major additions or changes have been announced for this update.

A new temporary boost will launch later this year, codenamed CARGO, which will temporarily boost a players inventory capacity. More details will be revealed in the future.

Finally, the name for the Q1 2026 Anomaly Season has also been revealed to be +Gamma!

---

The details for the anniversary event are as follows:

๐Ÿ”ธ Bronze: Level 3
๐Ÿ”ธ Silver: Level 9
๐Ÿ”ธ Gold: Level 13
๐Ÿ”ธ Platinum: Level 15
๐Ÿ”ธ Onyx: Level 16 or Recursed

Additionally, from November 14th @ 1700 UTC to November 24th @ 1700 UTC, the following bonuses will be active for all Agents:
๐Ÿ”ธ2X AP for all actions.
๐Ÿ”ธ2X hack output of Resonators, Power Cubes from friendly Portals.
๐Ÿ”ธ2X hack output of XMP, Ultra Strike from enemy Portals.
๐Ÿ”ธDrone cooldown reduced to 13 mins.
๐Ÿ”ธKinetic Capsule Program distance reduced from 8km to 3km.
๐Ÿ”ธ13 Kinetic Capsule Programs can be activated in parallel
๐Ÿ”ธOverclock Glyph Hack duration extended to 130 seconds
๐Ÿ”ธ2X deploy of L8 Resonators
๐Ÿ”ธExperimental Weapon Tunings

As the second Sunday of the month is starting in the easternmost countries of the world, we are receiving numerous reports that the Second Sunday campaign is not becoming visible for some Agents in the scanner. At the moment we are not aware of mitigations or workarounds for this issue.

We will update this message with status updates, acknowledgments by Niantic and other useful info.

๐ŸŸข 22:00 UTC - Agents are reporting that the Second Sunday campaign is now being displayed for those who weren't able to see it before. A restart of the app may be necessary.

Operation Portal Recon is now live and can be accessed by any Agent that has reached L16 or has recursed! We have observed some differences to how Niantic Wayfarer worked:

- Upgrades have been removed and it is no longer possible to prioritize submissions
- The Help Chat has been removed from the "Help" tab
- The setting for "Wayfarer Challenge" was renamed to "OPR Challenge", indicating that Challenges like the ones we know from Wayfarer could also happen under OPR
- All past Contributions under Wayfarer and before as well as Contributions after the Wayfarer split are visible on the website
- Wayfarer stats were not carried over, Agents are restarting from zero
---> This does not reset the Recon medal in the Scanner
- The Seer medal is now live and is being distributed to Agents! This might take a bit to complete, so don't panic if you cannot see it yet or the Tier is not correct

Other things that we know from Wayfarer have been carried over as they were during the split, such as Appeals, the Review flow, setting of Home and Bonus location as well as Holding and Editing your Contributions.

Niantic Spatial and the Ingress team have announced a partnership with Paramount Pictures to promote the upcoming film "The Running Man". The event is set to run from November 12th to November 19th.

According to the post, here's what to expect:

- A special media drop will be available globally, which delves into the film's plot

- For Agents in Los Angeles, there will be a special city-wide walking mission and a community event. You can sign up for a special walk together with the Ingress team here: https://luma.com/09d0q4eu

This collaboration builds on the work of immersive storytelling from Niantic Spatial and other collaborations, and "This collaboration is just one example of how we are using geospatial AI to turn the world into a living, intelligent canvas, empowering any creator or storyteller to craft their own immersive and interactive worlds atop our own."

This is not the first time that Ingress has collaborated with other companies to promote the launch or release of a product. As an example for movies specifically, Ingress featured special missions for the release of Star Wars Episode VII that you were able to complete in a few select cities around the world.

Recent Issues with Daily Bounties

We received numerous reports about the Daily Bounties not ticking up when an action is completed. Pressing the Resync button or restarting the scanner does not seem to help. Some other report that it might take up to an hour before bounties are updated.
According to several Agents, the issue has been ongoing for a while now, and some were not able to complete their dailies in time before midnight, losing out on some +Beta Tokens.

We will update this post as soon as more is found about this issue, or if it gets sorted out.

ENL 1013.8 - 786.2 RES

This graph shows the current distribution of points as of today: as you can see, the series is still far from decided as only roughly one third of the available points has been assigned!

Three global events will determine the winner of this series:
๐Ÿ”ธBounty Ops - ongoing, ends on December 14th
๐Ÿ”ธBuildup Battles -
November 21st @ 17:00 UTC to December 1st @ 17:00 UTC
๐Ÿ”ธShard Storm
- December 13th and 14th from 13:00 to 17:00 local time

We have received reports that the amount of +Beta Tokens you recieve after interacting with a high category Battle Beacon is a multitude higher than the stated amount from the Ingress team.

Over 200 Agents in Yokohama and 50 Agents in Osaka came together to deploy and fight over Battle Beacons, but many have reported of receiving more than 10000 +Beta Tokens within a few minutes. This would have required over 300 CAT-VI Battle Beacons interacted with, however the reported amount of deployed Battle Beacons is a lot lower.

The exact cause of this discrepancy isn't apparent yet and it is unknown if the Ingress team has quietly tweaked the Token reward for higher CAT Battle Beacons or if there is another unknown modifier. Let us know your observations from your own Battles!
-----
Additionally, we have also received reports about CMU prices changing in multiple regions globally.

For example, CMU prices in Sri Lanka, Tรผrkiye and the Philippines have been raised, while prices in the Eurozone have been lowered (although they are different between Android and iOS).

If you see any price changes in your region, please also let us know in the comments!

The Year 13 celebrations have ended and all bonuses such as 2x AP should have been reverted!

Niantic Spatial will now start assigning the Year 13 Voyager medal according to your current level as follows:

- Bronze: Level 3
- Silver: Level 9
- Gold: Level 13
- Platinum: Level 15
- Onyx: Level 16/Recursed

This process will take a few hours and it is possible that you may see lower tiers still locked when you get the higher tier Voyager medal. This will automatically fix itself once the rollout is complete for all Agents, so do not panic if you see a wrong tier or if you haven't gotten your medal yet while others did.

Ingress is has now entered its 14th year of operation! We already know that the future will hold a new feature with CARGO as well as the continuation of Anomalies, Mission Days and the expansion of OPR. We look forward to the upcoming journey and are excited about the future!
