Using Portal Keys from Capsule
When linking two portals will the link automatically check keys within Capsules or do you have to remove the key from the capsule to create the link?
I am sure I have linked a portal using a key in a Capsule but I haven't yet had the opportunity to repeat this test to confirm.
Anyone else able to confirm this?
Best Answer
I'm equally sure you're mistaken.
Keys in capsules are not visible for linking.

No, keys in capsules are not considered to be in your inventory for anything else than the item count.
