Extremely Rare Shields – did they exist
March 19 Niantic made the following changes to Ingress, which are effective starting now until further notice:
- For the Sojourner medal, a Portal recharge counts as a Portal hack. Going forward, Agents can hack or recharge a Portal in consecutive 24-hour periods for daily credit towards the Sojourner medal.
- High-level Agents can deploy two Level 7 and two Level 8 Resonators per Portal.
- Portal cool down reduced to 90 seconds.
- Portal hacks before burnout increased to 16 hacks.
