Ingress in-game store

It was activated in my scanner yesterday night.

     

It encompasses a new series of items that can be purchased with Chaotic Matter Units (C.M.U.) which, in turn, can be purchased with normal currency (Google Wallet).

This store is neither a collection of items in a "stronger" version than those you'd get via hacks nor a faster way to unilaterally get more normal items, Ingress is not pay-per-win; they are a completely different handy-but-unnecessary set of tools:

• Portal frackers enhance the output of hacks for either 10 minutes or 150 hacks, whichever comes first, and they affect hacks by all players;
• Beacons temporarily project olographic pictures above portals;
• Key lockers are special capsules that can only contain keys for a maximum of 100; agents can have up to 5 key lockers.
