There's a few portals I've taken over and want to link, but I can't get a portal key to the portals I want to link to, even after hacking them repeatedly until they're burned out.

Is there something that can be done to help improve the odds of getting a portal key when you're hacking?

None seem to be known. I have not observed any biases either. (I'm Level 4, so I've hacked a few …)

"Just hack more often" might not be the answer you're looking for, but …

That's the answer I expected, but thought I'd ask just in case and will happily change the accepted answer if anyone figures anything out. It's also worth noting that the odds of getting a portal key seem to have decreased with a recent update (late December), so it's noticeably different than it used to be. Also related to that update is you can now get multiple copies of the same key without dropping your current copy first - assuming you can get any copies at all. gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/98006/… – mmrobins Jan 2 at 7:13
