Umbra digital kits are now available on the Store, and will remain available after the Umbra anomaly series for a limited time. (Edit: At least until Tues, Oct 22.) Thank you for your patience while we worked to bring the digital kits online.

So it's cheaper to buy the medals separately, but you don't get the VR gear for them when you do.
Not wild about this idea. Codes work so much better since they can be gifted to agents who help with ops etc. How long will the kits be in the store? Really not helping your already bad PR folks.
Prices have gone up, can't save the gear for later, and no more physical swag included in the package? Hard pass.
well, you don't get the vrhs and vrmh, but you get more resos, more bursters, more cubes and most importantly, double as many ada/jarvis, if you buy the 3 packs seperately, for less money...
Very overpriced and codes are better for gear. That way they can be gifted to less fortunate agents or used during Ops etc
thanks, bought the ADA bundle.
I don't need any of the gear, I'd just like the medals.
And you get more X8, R8, C8, ADA and Jarvis
Do you still get the option to purchase the other two individual kits, or are they gone for you? Just wondering if it's possible to buy all three individual Kits versus the triple.
We can't buy right before the Anomaly or we won't be able to hack. And if we buy at the end, we might not be able to use any restock portsl. Cant buy before Mission Day or we could run out of space to hack....
If you want to sell these, I suggest leaving them up for at least two days after the Anomaly weekend. And yes, I too would like to be able to gift these but can't...passcodes please!
It's possible to buy the three individual ones separately.
Are you still able to buy the other individual packs or are they now locked out?
Could you elaborate on 'limited time'.
E.g. 14 days after anomaly or end of october.
is there going to be an option to buy just an anomaly ticket without having to get the character badges? Because I really do not want character badges on my profile
you can get the tickets in the events page, totally seperate from the badges/packs.
Different Question ... didn't NIA promise not to sell L8 gear, during that shitstorm about free2play vs. pay2play?
They are 2 separate things. Character badges via the store, anomaly tickets via events
There's always been the VRLA etc cards, but people seemed to forget about those during the rage against the store items..
Anomaly kits have always included L8 gear, and were available to every agent, pre- and post digital pack. This is no different. The only thing that changed is where you buy them. Events page vs in-app store.
And the kits in the store will not be available indefinitely either.
You mean like every other Load Out Card from every other anomaly?
EDIT: Note that you can only buy a kit once, so there's no mass selling of X8s.
Please tell us @mortuus 😘
I used to mostly buy very rare anomaly packs, but now I'm struggling. I have a binder full of physical swag cards that - from now on - I can only add community made bio-cards. All of the character cards were redeemed. There are still a few unredeemed VR loadout cards that I am saving for item heavy operations.
Please change the way you handle the digital kits. Give us the medals directly, but give us a passcode for the items, so we can redeem them when it is convenient and not when we are about to embark on getting a lot of unique hacks with a pre-anomaly inventory that is already bursting at the seams.
The direct digital sales were instituted to stop scalping and second hand price gouging.
You can buy all 4 kits, once.
The mechanism of delivery has also changed, for the worse.
Passcodes are preferred. Not sure I'll be buying these without the passcode. Nothing like a bunch of gear to push you over cap before the anomaly, where it would have been very useful when redeemed after...
Yeah, mostly for the medals, which is why I differentiated between medals and items.
Awesome! Nice that they're easier to access.
So they stopped allowing multiple packs to be purchased? Sounds like the opposite of them trying to make money.
No physical card with code on back so count me out.
Are you asking for an option to buy the gear packs separate from the badges? The anomaly ticketing is already a separate thing done through the events tab in game...
You can buy them after the anomaly. @NianticBrian did state they would be available for a limited time afterwards.
@NianticBrian might be worth specifying until what date they would be available though... After Mission Day would probably be best. That way inventory caps won't impact the ability to complete mission day missions.
Well, last time they sold L8 gear in the shop there was a riot....
