Red/Fracking portal but NOT!

So there is this Red colored portal that basically looks like a “Fracking Portal” but doesn’t give x2,x4,x6 rezes,mods,etc... I asked a fellow agent and they said it will change back or be deleted or what not due to it being a glitch.. is it a “GLITCH”, I like using it, because it drops pretty rare mods. Ex. Softbanks,VRHS,VRMH,Jarvis,ADA’s etc on down the line.. I am concerned with FRACKING IT..? Can I or will it just eat my fracker? Also it has been this way since I started and nobody knows and I’ve never come across another portal like it.. ThanX’s in Advance

    If you frack it again, it should go back to normal after that Fracker is done. It was a problem from over a year ago. They fixed some, but many are still stuck with the animation enabled. Last I saw was fracking it again, would turn off the animation when the fracker was done.

  • I suggest taking a photo of the location for your personal memories,copy the portal co-ordinates from within the game itself (copy symbol in top left of portal info),and finally raise a ticket with the support desk via the human team option either In game or via the ingress live chat on the website.

    If its anything like the one I discovered last year then its a fracker glitch where one was deployed and the game messed up and until reported it just remains pretty on the map and draws people in like the one i found did...

    I took out the green agent on the portal at the time after hacking the portal thinking it was a special rare portal of goodies and replaced it with myself as a blue agent and still afterwards it remained on fire with its red colour so I hacked again and it was just normal stuff that came out I checked via the In Game Comms and one of the local leaders confirmed it was a glitch so i got it fixed,

    It was/is the fracker that was previously deployed on the portal location that "Breaks/Fracks up" the flame mechanic at the time.

    Customer Support Can & Will Reset the portal though if you ask nicely.

    Hope This Helps.

  • Thanks for the feed back, and my bad for taking so many months to read this and reply. It just recently “ in game days” finally has been fixed (bug/glitch) , and yes you were correct about this glitch occurring after the said portal was Fracked. I actually ran into the agent in RL whom had deployed the fracker some 3-4 months earlier from the time I had crossed paths with them.

    Niantic finally got around to fixing the broken Code/bug that caused this fracker glitch to occur, but that was only around the time of the last update so it’s was a “Fracking” look-alike portal for quite a while. This is good knowledge for a Noob (new player) in case they come across this type of bug if ever it happens again in future patch’s/updates...

    one last thing I did notice when I did try to deploy a Fracker (DON’T Do if you come across one of these) is that it was a waste of a fracker, meaning no Keys x2,3,4 etc. or any rare or VR items.
