During the forthcoming +Beta Anomaly Season, scheduled for October, November, and December, Agents will be awarded with the 3-tiered +Beta medal. This award will be based on their performance in Anomaly battles, as well as the newly introduced “+Beta Buildup Battles” and “+Beta Shard Storm” events.
Note: Achieving Gold tier for the +Beta medal will be extremely difficult without participating in any Anomaly battle on-site.
