The upcoming Orion Anomaly Season, running from April through June, offers Agents multiple opportunities to earn medals.
- Orion Season Medal (4-tiered): Awarded based on participation in Ingress First Saturday events and performance in both Global Campaign and Anomaly battles.
- Note: Attaining the Platinum tier remains feasible even without participation in an Anomaly or First Saturday event, provided performance in Daily Bounties, the Orion Global Campaign and other free global events. However, opting out of both event types will render achieving the Platinum tier exceptionally difficult.
- Commemorative Orion Onsite Medal (single-tiered): Earned simply by participating in any Anomaly battle onsite.
- Global Campaign Medal (3-tiered): Based solely on performance during the Global Campaign.
Further instructions and detailed intelligence for each operation will be provided closer to the execution dates. Stay alert.
