+Theta Anomaly Series Guide - Chapter 6
IUENG+Theta Anomaly Zone Events
These are the main events for every Anomaly Season! Agents will be able to live an action-packed weekend by participating in an Anomaly Weekend.
As far as Anomaly Points distribution is concerned, three main challenges will take place during the Anomalies, spanning across a total of 3 hours. These will distribute 250 Season Points per Anomaly to the Factions.
24 hours before and during the Anomaly Event, Anomaly Zone Portals will be ornamented in 3 different colors, dividing them in 3 clusters: A, B and C.
⚠️ Portal Immunity Instability will be in effect during these events!
Anomaly Zone Event: Battle Beacons - 93 points total
NIASection14 will deploy Rare Battle Beacons inside the Anomaly Zone in 6 waves, lasting 30 minutes each.
- Agents will attempt to win the three checkpoints of Battle Beacons to earn up to 2+3+4 Beacon Points.
- A subset of the Portals on which these Beacons will be spawned, will be activated as a Volatile Battle Beacon worth 3x the regular score, so up to 6+9+12 Beacon Points.
- Volatile Battle Beacons will only spawn in one designated cluster per wave, following this sequence: B, C, A, B, C, A
- Battle Beacon Category will not influence the score.
The waves with the highest score for each Faction will be used to distribute the 93 Season Points assigned to this challenge.
Anomaly Zone Event: Flash Shards - 93 points total
6 waves of 13 Shards each will spawn at 30 minutes intervals, along with 4 fixed Target Portals per Faction.
- Each Shards wave will spawn inside a designated cluster following this sequence: A, B, C, A, B, C
- Agents will attempt to score a shard, by linking it to their Faction's Target Portal.
- Shards only travel along Links connecting L4+ Portals
- If multiple links to L4+ Portals exist on a Shard, it will randomly select one.
- Shards will not backtrack to a Portal they've been on in the prior 25 minutes.
- Shards will teleport to another Portal if not moved for 25 minutes.
- Maximum 4 Shards per wave can be scored on a single Target. Successive Shards will be worth 0 points.
The waves with the most Shards captured per Faction will be used to distribute the 93 Season Points assigned to this challenge.
Anomaly Bounty - 50 Points Total

The average number of Anomaly Bounties each Agent has claimed, excluding Agents who did not complete at least 1 Bounty, will be used to distribute the 50 Season Points assigned to this challenge.
