NotNiantic Updates

Sorry for the lack of graphic for the +Gamma Global Op.. Work and family stuff have been keeping me very busy since the event was announced. I did, however, manage to find about half an hour to play and that was enough for silver. So if you have a portal rich area controlled by the opposition, just go there and destroy, deploy, and link. It's probably a better use of your time than trying to figure out how to max out points. https://ingress.com/news/2026-plusgamma-globalop

The +Gamma Season is underway, and Niantic Spatial has now revealed the design of one of the three medals that can be earned this quarter. Expect this graphic to be updated as more is revealed. See https://ingress.com/news/2026-plusgamma for official info

Working on multiple Ingress challenges at once? I built a NotNiantic Challenge Overlap Helper that tells you: ✔ what you still need ✔ where campaigns overlap ✔ how many actions remain ✔ and which tasks you’ve already crushed Basically: fewer wasted actions, more efficient XM usage.

The Redux campaigns just started, but there's also a brand new campaign right around the corner. Winter Solstice 2025 brings you a free opportunity to earn a new 2-tiered badge and event bonuses including more AP for capturing portals and shortened drone cooldown. See the infographic for more, or view full details at https://ingress.com/news/2025-wintersolstice

Which past challenges will you replay? Redux 2025 gives you the opportunity to earn missing challenge badges or add wings if you already earned silver. Here's all you need to know in a single infographic, or head over to https://ingress.com/news/2025-globalopredux for the official explanation. Updated 9 Dec to include corrected Erased Memories task 7

EDIT: Niantic has substitute redux challenges for most of these. New infographic coming with the relevant details but in the mean time enjoy the trip down memory lane. Ready to replay some old challenges for a chance at wings? See details at https://ingress.com/news/2025-globalopredux Forgot what those challenges were? Me too. But here are links to the old posts with infographics: Cryptic Memories: https://t.me/NotNianticUpdates/131 Buried Memories: https://t.me/NotNianticUpdates/142 Shared Memories: https://t.me/NotNianticUpdates/156 Erased Memories: https://t.me/NotNianticUpdates/177 +Alpha: no infographic but it was based around deploying and destroying mods

The +Beta anomaly season is upon us, which means it's infographic time. Earn tokens toward the +Beta anomaly medal by completing daily bounties, attending XM anomaly sites, or participating in the new +Beta Buildup Battles and +Beta Shard Storm. Note that in this series, achieving the gold tier without attending an XM anomaly site will be very difficult. Full details: https://ingress.com/news/2025-plusbeta

The procedure for earning the +Delta anomaly medal looks a lot like the procedure for the +Theta medal. Complete bounties to earn tokens, collect tokens to unlock the medal. This time you have 3 anomaly weekends for mega points options, 3 separate global…

As promised, Delta Reso Campaign infographic. Thanks as usual to @itzwindyyy for sharing the screenshots.

That event infographic you're waiting for? It's almost done, but I'm waiting to finalize it until the event goes live and the full bounty list is known. The event was supposed to go live hours ago, but we're still running on Niantic Spatial Standard Time™. Apparently Niantic forgot that both New Zealand AND Australia exist this time. Will post the guide as soon as the exotic matter stabilizes and the Shapers stop interfering with Niantic's servers. Stay tuned, agents!

Sounds like a lot of you want the snark, so here's a snarky infographic (snarkographic?) to help you out with this and future Ingress events.

I didn't realize telegram was going to cut off the preamble so much - this is what it should say: For the past few years, I’ve done my best to keep NotNiantic mostly positive—highlighting the good, staying informative, and cheering on the team for keeping Ingress alive through tough times. But after yet another event rollout derailed by timezone chaos… I’m wondering if it’s time to shift gears a bit. In light of Niantic [Spatial]'s continued inability to get details right, should NotNiantic: [poll options]

The procedure for earning the +Delta anomaly medal looks a lot like the procedure for the +Theta medal. Complete bounties to earn tokens, collect tokens to unlock the medal. This time you have 3 anomaly weekends for mega points options, 3 separate global campaigns to complete, and your daily bounties all to earn tokens.

Good morning Providence. It’s the morning after the most competitive anomaly in North America since the pandemic, which means it’s Mission Day. I plan to be at the group photo at Memorial Park at 9:30. The first 2 agents to come up and tell me they use my infographics will get a card - Carrie Campbell or Hank Johnson.

The +Theta Anomaly Season rules are out, and there are some significant changes from previous series. Instead of earning the anomaly medal just for interactions at anomaly sites, you need to earn +Theta Tokens. And there are 3 tiers of badge based on how many tokens you earn. This infographic breaks down how many you need and how to get them. Full details at https://ingress.com/news/2025-plustheta

Thanks to the incredible investigative work of @ItzWindyyy, we were able to put together this infographic showing all of the tasks for the Erased Memories Global Campaign. Complete assignment 4 to earn the base badge, assignment 9 to earn the advance badge, and keep going if you dare.
