Resonators
Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.
There are 8 levels of resonators, each slightly stronger than the last and each unlocked from Levels 1 to 8.
Hacking a portal gives gear around that portal’s level. Higher level portals will give better items!
Resonators are the primary in-game item, allowing you to capture and control portals and create links from the portal.
Agents can deploy 8 Level 1 Resonators, or 1 Level 8 Resonator. Note there are two exceptions to this:
- An agent can use a Virus to flip the portal, if the agent flips a portal to the Faction they belong to, their name will appear on every resonator.
- During special events, agents can deploy multiple resonators that exceed the standard output.

Portal Level
Section titled “Portal Level”A single agent can only deploy enough resonators to make a portal Level 5. Having other agents add their resonators (known as bumping), will increase the portal’s level.
Placement
Section titled “Placement”While there is no wrong way to deploy a resonator, there is a strategic method to deploy them that results in a stronger portal.
Standing on top of a portal will result in what is commonly called a ‘campfired’ portal. All the resonators are close together at the base of the portal. Like rocks around a fire. Portals deployed like this are easier to destroy.
When deploying, ensure you position the portal on the very edge of your action radius to deploy resonators as far as possible from the portal.
Resonator Placement
Section titled “Resonator Placement”If you click on each resonator slot, you can choose where you place each resonator.
This allows you to place higher resonators away from the road where they might survive an attack.
Resonator Limitations
Section titled “Resonator Limitations”The level of the portal is determined by the level sum of the resonators divided by the number of resonators. Ie L5+L5+L4+L4+L3+L2+L2+L1=3.25 which will result in a level 3 portal.
It takes eight Level 8 resonators to make a Level 8 portal.
Each level resonator can only be placed by you a limited number of times.
