🔸Reduced Drone cooldown to 8 minutes
🔸80AP per correct Glyph in Glyph Hacks
🔸Links shorter than 8km creatable under Fields
🔸Extended Overclock Glyph Hack to 80 seconds
❗️Experimental weapon tuning will be in effect during the Event. What exactly is meant by this is unknown at the moment.
During the event, the regularly scheduled Double AP 2sday bonus hour will not be activated due to the double AP that is in effect during the event already.

Thia has just clarified that the AP bonus with Apex during the event is 6x. An action that normally gives you 100AP gives you 200AP without Apex and 600AP with Apex.

IUENG WrapUp - July 2023
Hello Agents! Welcome to the July 2023 IUENG WrapUp, a series of monthly posts that will summarize and wrap up all the important happenings in the Ingress universe during the last month. This will not only include official news but also SITREPs, events and…
⚠️ The Level 8 Week Event starts at 1700 UTC!
If you plan to reach an exact number of AP (such as exactly 40 million AP when you reach level 16), remember that you will not be able to earn any odd number of AP during the event.
Therefore, if you are playing for an even number of AP, you must make sure that your AP is already even at the start of the event. Of course, the same is true for a target with an odd number of AP.

Heads up! There's currently an issue in the scanner which allows Agents to purchase the Machina Patch medal multiple times from the in-app store. As you can only get a medal once, purchasing it multiple times will just burn your CMU.
After you purchase the medal, restart your scanner and check your profile to make sure you have already gotten the medal.

On August 28th, Niantic will increase the price of the C.O.R.E. Subscription to $7.99 (€9.99) for existing subscribers (new subscribers are already charged the new price). There's still some time left, but here is a reminder for Android users (Apple handles the price change differently).
👍 If you wish to keep your subscription even after the price increase, head over to the Play Store, access the Subscriptions section and agree to the price increase on your next renewal. If you do not explicitly agree to the price increase, the subscription will automatically be cancelled during the next renewal date.
👎 This is the default action if you do not take any action, but if you want, you can head over to the same section to manually cancel the next renewal.
As a reminder, the price increase also brings a CMU increase in the C.O.R.E loadout from 2500 to 10000 units which is already active.

🏅A short while ago we presented the relaunch of the badge website created by @dedo1911.
Since then it has received numerous updates and a rebranding! The website is now called Ingress.Plus and gives you the opportunity to create an account and mark which badges you have obtained. You're also able to see how many agents have marked a badge as "obtained" (for example, MZFPK was obtained by 76 agents as of writing this post!).
The website will be developed further and will feature diffrent archives of Ingress icons, sprites, textures and others in the future, as well as a profile view that mimics in-game ordering so one can has a shareable copy of their in-game profile! Join their Telegram channel and group to stay up-to-date with all the updates!

Niantic has acknowledged a current issue which prevents Agents that are in the process of a Recursion to change their faction. They are working to resolve this as quickly as possible and recommend to hold off on Recursions until the issue is fixed.
If you have already recursed and were not able to switch factions, you can open a support ticket within 48 hours of your Recursion. NIA Ops will be able to manual switch your faction which will not count towards the "one-time faction change exception" (more commonly known by Agents as the manual faction change via support which resets an Agent to L1).
If you still plan on recursing, you can try these steps which have seen some success (but which are not guaranteed to work):
- Hit level 16
- Restart the Scanner
- Recurse
- If no Faction choice after recurse, try restarting the Scanner again before doing any actions generate AP
If these steps didn't work, submit a ticket for a manual Faction Change.

Niantic has added two item bundles to the in-app store for the upcoming CTRL Anomaly, but there are some changes compared to last month.
Let's start by listing their content:
CTRL Action Bundle - 20.000 CMU
Redeemable twice per Agent
🔸200x L8 XMP Bursters
🔸50x L8 Ultra Strikes
🔸75x L8 Resonators
🔸25x L7 Resonators
🔸10x L6 Resonators
🔸10x Hypercube
🔸20x VR Portal Shields
CTRL Support Loadout - 15.000 CMU
Redeemable once per Agent
🔸1x Jarvis Virus
🔸1x ADA Refactor
🔸100x L8 Resonator
🔸20x Hypercube
🔸50x L8 Powercube
🔸5x Aegis Shields
🔸20x VR Portal Shields
What's intriguing to note is that the quantity of items in these bundles has seen a slight reduction compared to Round 1 of the CTRL Anomaly. Despite this, the purchase price has remained consistent, as evident from the attached spreadsheet courtesy of Agent @Breenzy. As agents gear up for the upcoming Anomaly, these bundles offer valuable resources to enhance their gameplay, hence why Niantic might have decided to balance them.
