In addition to Epiphany Dawn Anomaly events, we’re planning to run several experiments in October through December with goals to grow the global Ingress community. Some of these experiments are targeted at assisting new recruits; others are for more experienced Agents:
New Agent Tutorial updates, including removing L1-L3 XMPs from Portal and Drone Hacks to show new Agents how to play different parts of Ingress as they level up.
Fields affect decay rate of friendly Portals under the Field.
Replace 4 Apex with 2 Rare Kinetic Capsules, 20 XMPs, and 20 Resonators in C.O.R.E. subscription Loadout Kits.
Specific details and information will be shared as the event dates approach.
