Glyphs are used when operating a portal.

In-game Guide

Infographics

Glyphs are symbols on a portal's wheel. They are also referenced in-game in Menu → 'Guide' tab, and they can be scanned from screenshots with the Camera Button.

An Atlas Rises portal has 16 inscribed symbols on the outer ring. When dialing, this outer ring rotates until the dialed symbol is aligned with the top position, at which point the ring pauses and the same glyph displays on the game HUD.

Possible addresses [ edit | edit source ]

With 16 symbols to choose from and a 12-symbol address, the Portal network since Atlas Rises has

16^12 = 281,474,976,710,656 possible addresses (281 trillion)

However, not all points in space represented by these addresses have Portals; indeed, there are sufficiently few valid coordinate sets that randomly dialing the portal results in a roughly 1 in 10 chance of working.

All Portals since Atlas Rises use a Portal Terminal to enter addresses.

Finding glyphs [ edit | edit source ]

You can mainly find them by asking travellers where they came from. This will lead you to a Traveller Grave in the system that then can be searched to get a new glyph. It is possible to find a grave without asking, but they are rare and easily missed.

Using Analysis Visor shows them as Unknown Grave indicated with icon.

Players will also learn all 16 glyphs during the Artemis Path mission, The Purge, without discovering Unknown Graves.
