Your experience in Ingress is measured in Access Points (AP). As a new recruit, you will find it easier to gain AP and level up more quickly by focusing on building tactics, like deploying Resonators, installing Portal Mods, and establishing Links and Fields.

 

There are 16 Access Levels in Ingress that unlock access to more powerful weapons and new features as you level up.
