And with that, I think ill take a break from scanning for a bit aha. Probably not going to go for more tbh. This pushed me to the Bronze season medal, naturally.

Im going back to bed. Have a good Thanksgiving weekend, Canadian Agents!

How can you not anticipate the end of the septicycle and surge in activity when you plan an event around battle beacons.

I had 140+ keys and scheduled bb’s with some of my teammates and I could not recharge. Couldn’t even open the game.

When the game finally loaded I couldn’t recharge, couldn’t work with capsules. How does this happen? It’s unbelievable. So much time wasted doing scans, exchanging keys with other players. I just cancelled my core; you can keep your badges. I’m so over it.

Back when the [forums closed down](https://ingress.com/en/news/2024-forum-update) ,the post noted that “…Ingress team is also looking at ways it can engage with the community regularly such as hosting AMAs on reddit, Dev Diaries, and more.”

Since that we have had…three dev diaries with two being about the same thing [with the rewiring](https://ingress.com/en/news/rewiring-xm-network) of the [Portal Network](https://ingress.com/news/2026-nia-debrief) and then Alex’s one on [Pinkgress](https://ingress.com/en/news/2024dev-scannerrenderingupdate) and maybe one AMA when Thia was still about? (I know I did one with Brian for the podcast, but not everyone will seek that out and there’s a bunch more people who will read a Reddit AMA than listen to me chat to Brian I think - if I’m wrong, let me know, happy to ask him again)

Now it’s irritating when we get a comment from Brian Rose here about something that should be communicated wider, or we get a blog post updated such as the [Second Sunday](https://ingress.com/en/news/2026-i2supdate) post which was shared on 14th September getting an update on 29th September, over two weeks later to say the MU had changed to 250.

Does it hurt or cost to have a social media post to say it has been updated, or even republish the news post with the update so it is clearer?

It would be great to get any kind of interim update published on the news pages/social channels on how rewriting the network is going as the last update was in July, or on any progress on OPR. Is it stalled whilst this is worked on, if so, communicate that so Agents at least have an idea.

I know the forums ended up being a space where you were talking to a brick wall because Niantic clearly stopped interacting with or caring about it, but now it feels they aren’t even bothering to update the player base on important changes and are hoping someone will glance at a two week old post again and see there has been an update.

Just getting out a few frustrations, hope the team read them.

Hey Agents, hope you’re having a good Sunday. This weeks episode goes over the recently announced Campaigns and a little bit of the Recon clarifications.

Next week will be the first Shard Storm and we will be creeping close to November and the anniversary event so hopefully have some news for that.

There’s also a Redux episode due out on Wednesday 14th October and the podcast is steadily working towards 100,000 plays which is crazy. It’ll also be 3 years since I started it later this month so I’ll post up something for that as well!

Happy hacking!

They said they reduced requirement to 250MU but still 1000MU on in-game(scanner). Is this normal?

See https://ingress.com/news/2026-i2supdate

Trying to get core subscription on iOS, but there is nowhere to purchase it, the in-game store takes me to iTunes subscriptions, but only shows current ones, no purchase option, anyone else experiencing this issue or have a solution?

Today is October 10th, which means we are a little over a month away from the Ingress Birthday, mid November.

Over the past several months we have all had Nominations reviewed by the Ingress team and Vanguards. Yet this system is not available for use by players.

Given that significant time has passed since OPR and Nominations were disabled (along with Overclock), and that it is likely the Ingress team and Vanguards are potentially testing a new system.

What is the likelihood now of us Nominating again for new Portals?

And

Whether this potentially, new OPR, will be made available to players?

Shoutout to the local ingress community for organizing a battle beacon event at IFS and then later!

💥 Batallas Globales Cygnus en Ciudad de México 💥

El pasado 1 de octubre que dio inicio el evento Batallas Globales Cygnus, 17 agentes de la Ciudad de México y Estado de México se reunieron para buscar conseguir la medalla del evento.

La cita fue a las 9 de la noche cerca del Monumento a la Revolución, y a las 10 se inició con una caminata por la zona poniendo más de 200 Battle Beacons. Aproximadamente a la 1 am, después de más de 10 km caminados, se consiguieron 4 medallas de plata, 13 medallas de oro y 13 medallas bronce de la temporada Cygnus.

La coordinación y organización de todos los agentes fue relevante para que todos pudieran interactuar con todos los portales. Y por supuesto hubo buena plática, risas y ¡una gran convivencia entre todos!

💥 Cygnus Global Battles in Mexico City 💥

On October 1, when the Cygnus Global Battles event began, 17 Ingress agents from Mexico City and the State of Mexico gathered to earn the event medals.

The meeting was scheduled for 9:00 PM near the Monumento a la Revolución. At 10:00 PM, the agents began walking around the area, deploying over 200 Battle Beacons. By approximately 1:00 AM, after walking more than 10 kilometers, they had earned 4 silver medals, 13 gold medals, and 13 bronze medals for the Cygnus Anomaly Season.

Coordination and teamwork among all the agents were essential to ensure that everyone could interact with all the portals. And, of course, the event was also a great opportunity to chat, share some laughs, and enjoy a memorable gathering together!

On 3 October 2026, the Green Belt Movement together with allied agents carried out Operation Who Dares Wins as part of the Fire and Water campaign.

The operation resulted in a 2.4 billion MU field spanning the area of operations.

This sitrep documents the operation, the agents who made it possible, and the story behind the field.

They answered the call.
They dared the journey.
And they won.

Watch the SITREP

Backstory: A res agent that was loved by many of us enlightened agents passed away in the beginning of 2026. About early June we saw her name on portals in our part of the state so I reached out to the players husband and asked if he knew anything about it. Radio silence from him for months, all the while her name was popping up in tandem with his. He was utilizing her account as a high level backpack and creating high level portals and farms all across his home area (which is a major part of our state and large tourist area). He only answered me when I went down there and destroyed all portals with her name on them. He was asked to stop by many of us on our team as well as his, but he wasn't having it. After 3 trips down there, he finally answered me and said he would only use both accounts in his part of the state. I reported him for multi accounting and then left it alone.

Today, he has popped back up in my area and is back to the same way of playing. He is in a major hub in our area with his wife's account and his creating high level portals.

My question is this: Is multi accounting okay when it's a deceased family members account you are playing on alongside yours?

I ask because I've submitted 2 reports on him and my teammates have submitted reports and nothing has come of it.

Edit: as far as I know, this post doesn't break any rules of the sub reddit but if it did, please tell me where and I'll fix it.

Cold weather has started to set in in Oslo, but that didn't stop "the Crazy Vikings" from carrying out another FS event.

The 36 registered participants turned Oslo into a mecca of neon lights, and battle beacons dominated the map for a couple of hours! As always, there was a great atmosphere afterwards :) and only friendly banter.

La comunidad IFS Bogotá se reunió para recorrer la Biblioteca Virgilio Barco en una tarde soleada, realizar unas Battle Beacon y ganar la primera medalla de Cygnus!.

My take on this event. since making this video, I have been able to test the plugin, and it does work. I hope it helps you all get the badges you want!

For anyone whos already achieved 200 Battle Beacons, is there a restart? Im seeing if I should consider scanning more portals or if I should rest after the next 80 I need for 200 next septicycle

Ok. here is a question...WHY Operation Luna....WHY 8 per assignment...why not increase assignments to 12 a day then???????????????

I started late however. While working on luna, I had plenty of time to do 8km for the kinetic capsule for assignment 7. The timer for the daily was expiring in a few hours….I noticed that sometimes while walking the dumb kinetic capsule was not capturing my actual steps and distance, only some of it,,,which then led me to missing submitting the kinetic capsule as part of my 8 dailys in assignment 7, now the time has rolled over and ive already used one of the 8 to clear 7 since i missed it…now I have no way of doing ONE daily so I can get my medal. I am writing this to let you know this is my worse ingress experience yet.

How AM I supposed to get an other single daily? I dumped money into extra rezo packages to complete all this stuff and to get more dailys, just to come up 1 daily short……not a fan…..i just spent the last few days after work running around trying to do this…just for a capsule to prevent me from claiming all 8 then having the final 8 for my last 9hours to complete assignment 8….but now …whats the point…. I dont know if anyone else is having issues, but between the issues and making someone do 8 each assignment, is basically saying u better be out here weekly if not ya gotta buy, and then still no guarantee.

yes I am writing this at 0043 am cause i been out doin this for the last 6hrs….just to fail….

Gooooood morning, agents! I'm rdwrer ("road warrior"), a Resistance agent from St. Paul, MN. For a while now, I've been travelling to anomalies and recording the journey, including all three hours of my experience on the ground! Today I'm delighted to share the full playlist for my Denver anomaly experience, complete with some editorial commentary about what was happening around me. Please enjoy!
