What's the reward for completing missions?
It's pretty unclear what's granted for completing missions. Even the web doesn't agree on the answer:
- This Reddit's Q/A says there's no AP
- This Decode Ingress' page talks about missions rewarding AP
- The Verge has a post mentionning missions rewarding AP as well
The only thing they all agree on is the custom badge earned at the end of each mission.
So: do you earn APs for completing missions ? If you do, is it worth it ?
Solution 1:
You get a mission badge, and there's also a medal called SpecOps that's given after completing unique missions. Levels are:
- bronze: 5
- silver: 25
- gold: 100
- platinum: 200
- onyx: 500
I've not seen any mission give AP on completion.
Update in july
I've done quite a few missions recently, and they indeed gave AP, 125 each. I'm still not sure if it's only a few missions, or they all give.
Solution 2:
A badge is given as well as 125AP. I assume that one could consider the items gathered in the hack to be reward. Further of the portal is owned by the enemy a takedown and turning grants you AP. So really it's what you do at these portals during a mission that would bring the outcome
