Did you know - Portal Link Direction Visibility

edited April 2022 in General

Since you can only make 8 outgoing Links from a given Portal (without Softbank Ultra Links), it helps to know how many of the existing Links are outgoing and how many are incoming.

When looking at the Links on a Portal , you can determine whether a Link is outgoing or incoming by looking at the pulses running along a Link .


In Ingress Prime, a Portal Link's pulse movement starts at the Portal where the Link was created, and heads to the Portal where a Key was used to access. By counting how many Links have pulses moving away from the Portal you're concerned with, you an count the number of outgoing Links.

In the above video, you can see the link being made from a portal, and then the pulse emanating from the portal and going to the other portal. When a second link is made from the initial portal, both pulses go outwards from that portal, indicating that it is the source of both links.

(Note, this is opposite to how the Classic client's Link movement occurred.)
