Agents, the new global challenge is about to start. Earn a new badge by making control fields between February 14 – 24: 100 fields for bronze, 300 for silver, or 800 for gold. During this time, get double AP for destroying resonators, links, and fields, and see higher drop rates of ADA and Jarvis. If global goals are reached, these perks are extended until March 2. Plus they are putting a new pack in the store to help you get your fields.
Full details here.
The double ap on destroying is the wrong signal.
Because those destroyers often leave the area with just 1 res/portal.
