Niantic released Ingress Prime v2.157.2!

This update, which follows a major overhaul to the rendering pipeline of the game, aims at fixing a collateral issue that was introduced by the previous update and reported by Agents, notably the insufficient transparency of multilayered Fields.

Additionally, an option to allow swiping between Daily and Campaign tabs on the Dispatch menu was added.

The update is rolling out to Android users in the next few days, while it should be available for iOS users.

💚💙A Beacon of Unity – For Magdeburg

Dear Agents,

at the initiative of Agent @ViridisLupus, here's a call to action:

Yesterday, we were shocked by terrible news: An attack hit the Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.
In these difficult hours, we show what our Ingress community is made of:
Unity, compassion, and the power to do good.

Let's make a statement!
We call on you: Place a beacon today at 11 AM UTC.
Whether you're Enlightened or Resistance, let's together light a beacon of hope that never fades.
A beacon that says: "We stand together, we are strong, and we will not be defeated by hate and violence, nor driven into fear!"

We, the Ingress COMM, are more than just a game.
Ingress connects us across borders. A beacon for Magdeburg, a beacon for all those affected by violence.

@IUENG

The 'Countdown to 2025' Event starts today! Every day at midnight until Dec 31st, Niantic will propose a daily campaign, each having two sets of two bounties. Complete at least one bounty in each set to obtain a reward item!

Assignment 1/2 - Reward: x1 Firework
- Hack any 25 Portals for 25 AP
- Destroy 25 Resonators for 25 AP

Assignment 2/2 - Reward: x1 Firework
- Deploy 25 Resonators for 25 AP

@IUENG

As most of you know, and have discussed about in our chat, the newly introduced overhaul to Ingress' rendering pipeline also introduced a small bug which caused the ornaments of the Layers functionality to be displayed over the core of portals, instead of behind them.

Alex Stamm, technical artist at Niantic, in a reply to a Resistance Agent on Twitter, stated that the bug has been found, triaged and a fix will be deployed with the next Ingress Update.

P.S. We posted this screenshot earlier on @IUENG_Extra, where we post short-form content and breaking news before editing for @IUENG.
For example, daily updates for the Assignments of the current Countdown to 2025 event can be found there, so come visit!

The Annual New Year Celebrations on Ingress: A Shift in Tradition

The annual celebrations for the New Year on Ingress have been met with contrasting opinions from the player base.

This year, Niantic has introduced a new twist on the final days of December with the 'Countdown to 2025' Campaign, which rewarded Agents with items after completing specific in-game bounties. However, many Agents voiced their disappointment with the new mechanics in our discussion group. The criticism wasn't primarily directed at the Campaign structure or tasks themselves, but rather at the rewards, which were considered insufficient motivation to complete the daily campaigns.

Up until 2023, Niantic traditionally published passcodes (whether hidden or visible) on their social platforms or hosted free packs on the in-game store. However, as many players have pointed out, this method was vulnerable to exploitation by players using multiple accounts to accumulate gear. In this light, the switch to Campaigns appears to be a logical step toward limiting cheating behavior.

A comparison of rewards between 2023 and 2024 clearly illustrates the scale of the reduction in rewards to players:

2023
- 3x Beacon
- 1x Apex
- 1x Kinetic Capsule
- 13x R Portal Shield
- 1x Aegis Shield
- 3x R Heat Sink
- 3x R Multi Hack
- 3x R Link Amp
- 5x L4 Power Cube
- 25x L8 Power Cube
- 15x Hypercube
- 25x L7 XMP Burster
- 25x L7 Resonator
- 50x L8 Resonator

2024
- 900 AP
- 4x Beacon
- 6x Firework
- 1x Apex
- 2x Portal Fracker
- 2x Aegis Shield
- 2x Kinetic Capsule
Notably, no rewards were distributed on the final day of the 2024 campaign, not even AP rewards.

While Niantic's shift to Campaign-based rewards represents a positive step toward combating exploitation and giving a fun challenge to Agents, the significant reduction in rewards has led to widespread disappointment within the community. This change aligns with Niantic's recent trend of reducing item rewards across various aspects of the game. Our hope is that future iterations of these holiday events or future reworks of Campaign rewards will benefit from a middle-ground approach that both prevents exploitation and provides meaningful rewards to legitimate players.

Hello Agents!

We would be grateful if you could fill out a short survey about IUENG and give us your feedback for the future of the channel. For that, we have created a feedback form using a Telegram bot instead of the usual Google Form so you don't have to leave the app to fill it out. It should only take a few minutes, and we would be very grateful for it!

Tap on the button below to fill out the form.

@IUENG

Niantic has announced that, in an upcoming update, they will drop Ingress' support for 32-bit devices. This announcement comes shortly after the same decision was taken for Pokémon Go, and enables the development team "to streamline their development process and focus resources on supporting newer operating systems and technologies."

End of support is scheduled for June 2025.

On the source article, you can find some examples of devices that will not be supported any longer after this deadline.

It's giveaway time!

As is tradition, we are running a raffle to give away 5 Ingress Badges to 5 lucky Agents!

🔸 2025 New Year's Medal
🔸 Wintergreen Medal
