🔥 Burn Fat Fast. Discover How! 💪

Here are our initial findings: Overclock is active at VPS ac | Ingress Updates [ENG]

Here are our initial findings:

Overclock is active at VPS activated portals
Each Overclock hack "consumes" 4 normal hacks. An unmodded portal is therefore burned out after one Overclock hack
Depending on how well a portal was scanned, you get an output bonus up to x4, depending on how many hacks are left before burnout. If Ingress cannot localise against the portal, you can still do an Overclock hack with a normal x1 output
Heatsinks and Multi Hacks work like normal and can be used to reset or expand Overclock hacking capability
In addition to multiplied output, you also recieve a Glyph point bonus for your Translator medal depending on the multiplier
At the moment, you recieve no AP for hacking
The amount of glyphs you recieve depends on the Portal level, just like with normal glyphing
For Portals L1 to L5, you have 30 seconds to complete the hack. For L6, you have 19 seconds. L7 is unknown at the moment, L8 is 17 seconds
You can use the Command Channel before glyphing to input "More" or "Less" for more or no Portal keys respectively. "Complex" and "Simple" do not work
If you abandon an Overclock hack, you instantly "tap hack" a Portal 4 times, rewarding you with AP 4 times as well

Portals need to be scanned a lot and during diffrent times to become VPS activated. Niantic says before an activation can be attempted 10 high quality scans need to be submitted to the Portal, although more scans are highly recommended for better localisation. The first and 10th scan need to be at least 5 hours apart. Once all scans have been accepted by the system, the activation attempt has to be started manually which currently is only possible for developers of the Lightship platform using the Geospartial Browser on web or the Wayfarer App in beta on the phone.

If you have noticed anything, let us know in the comments! We're also setting a bounty for a VR Loadout for the first Agent that can correctly transcribe all 5 glyphs of a L8 Overclock hack! A screenshot of the result screen needs to be posted in the comments of this post to claim the bounty. Bounty claimed!
