The two chosen characters are Carrie Campbell and Enoch Dalby, and both arts follow the same AI-generated style of the latest medals added to the game.

Both of these are sold together with 10 Kinetic Capsules, for 30.800 CMU, about €23.

2023-05-16 21:26:11 We have received reports that some Wayfarers received an email, this month, asking them to share feedback around abuse of Wayfarer

The questions include references to foul practices like Voting Rings & Purposely misplacing Wayspots.

If you were invited to answer please do so, as this involves the Ingress Community directly!
The survey closes on May 17th.

Discussion is ongoing at https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/42953/wayfarer-abuse-survey#latest

Thanks @PkmnTrainerJ for the report!

2023-05-15 12:45:17 Agent @Breenzy has compared the contents and prices of Anomaly kits between Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Echo Anomaly.

It appears as though the kits were slightly rebalanced, but we'll let you draw your own conclusions on the topic. Feel free to discuss with us in the comments and in our Discussion Group!

2023-05-12 12:18:16 The Ingress Origin Kit #02 is arriving and Agents have noticed that "The Candidate" is awarding the ADA 2019 medal which was available in the past from the Scanner score and the NL-1331 birthday kits.

Agents are advised to pay close attention and check if they have already received the medal on their profile before redeeming the passcode of the "The Candidate" card. Redeeming the code while you already have the medal will waste the code and it cannot be redeemed again.

The design of the medal is visible in the bottom right of our picture.

2023-05-09 18:22:17 Agent Ops is returning for Second Sunday! Each Second Sunday, you'll need to complete the Ops that are assigned to you to receive a tick for the medal.

While Agent Ops seems to be returning this Sunday already, Niantic has told us in the Q2 Event Schedule that this and next months Second Sunday still focus on completing 6 missions for the tick. However, starting with July, we can expect diffrent tasks to complete!

2023-05-05 22:12:13 The First Saturday for May 2023 begins tomorrow, today or has already begun, depending on your timezone, and FevGames has posted an update on events that will be held on-site.

Since the on-site events were reintroduced, several portal frackers were activated at the base portal, depending on the number of participants, to allow agents to replenish their inventory after the end of the event. Starting tomorrow, these frackers will be eliminated and a Restock Portal will be activated instead. This Restock Portal can be hacked once for a large number of items. It will be activated 2 1/2 hours after the event start and can be hacked for 30 minutes.

For this month, there is an additional "special surprise" for the Restock Hack! If you're out and about, don't forget about the hack!

Events that are held online will continue unchanged.

2023-05-02 10:24:47 Niantic has released a new update, Version 2.115.4!

The Ingress team has not released their normal Release Notes, but Agents that have received the update report a new option in the settings regarding Adventure Sync. Players can now decide to enable or disable Adventure Sync for Trekking seperate from the main Adventure Sync feature.

At the moment, it is unknown what exactly the option does, but we assume that disabling this option means that Kinetic Capsules will still advance while the Scanner is closed, however the distance traveled will not be counted for the Trekker medal.

Did you receive the update and can confirm this? Have you noticed anything else? Let us know in the comments!
