I'm not convinced the lockout is real. Everyone's description of events leading to a lockout all involve different time frames and different loot sources - HVT, PE, random chest, Cayde's Stash, etc...
According to the source I've read:
[quote]You can loot four random chests and gather four materials from nodes every five minutes without triggering the lock out, but if you go for a fifth within this window, you’ll find that the next chest or node you tap will be empty of anything but Glimmer.[/quote]
So OPs timeline for the lockout is [i]longer[/i] than what it's [i]supposed[/i] to be and doesn't even meet the requirement of 4 chests looted.
So it's either:
1. The lockout has different requirements than the article reports.
2. There is no lockout, loot is bugged.
I'm inclined to think loot is bugged for 2 reasons:
1. Everyone's experience with the lockout is different. There's little to no consistency in any of the stories.
2. There are items whose sole purpose is to [i]help you[/i] farm chests. Why add these if there's a lockout/cooldown? I know it's Bungie, but c'mon...

Edited by One Shot Ted: 9/21/2017 11:20:41 AMI find it very inconsistent. I farmed [i]aggressively[/i] during the first few days and had no issues. Then one day I farmed just fine for a few hours and suddenly, [i]boom[/i]. Lockout. Had to go to orbit because the next 12 chests (excluding HVT chests, which worked just fine) gave nothing. Earlier today, I picked up like 5 chests and got locked out. Did a public event, farmed more chests and there was stuff. My idea is that the lockout could be linked to the completion of other events. For example, if you're aggressively farming and happen to take a break to do a public event or patrol, it might refresh the supposed cooldown. I did a few cycles of that on IO earlier, and didn't run into the lockout, but I have a much harder time finding chests there (more space between potential spawn points), so it may have impacted the time. I'll have to test it on Nessus tomorrow (since I know every spawn in Exodus Black) to get more data. I'll probably make a thread with my results if they continue to support it.

Yeah, I did a run last night for all Cayde's Stashes on Titan. Used a scouting report. First did a public event, and after that chest I got 10 more - 5 Cayde and 5 region chests, so 11 total in just 13 minutes (I recorded it and rewatched it). Got at least a token and Glimmer from every single one - one was technically empty, but there was a purple heavy at postmaster afterwards as my heavy was full during the run. I think it's just a bug.

As far as cayde's stashes go, I technically got "loot" from all of them... But literally everything I got was useless blue crap that would only be [i]somewhat usable[/i] on my level 5 alt.

It's too random to be real, sometimes it happens are 3 or 4, then like 7 or 8, and sometimes I get a solid hour of straight farming, unless announced to be real I'm going to keep considering it a bug.

Yup. Just did a Titan run with all Cayde's Stash and Scouting Report. 10 chests and 1 Public Event Chest in 12 min 45 secs (I recorded it and wrote down times and rewards). Every chest but 1 had something in it. And there was a Legendary Sniper in my Postmaster upon completion (most likely from the empty chest as my Power slot was full). TBF, I never got more than 4 chests in 4 min or less to trigger the supposed lockout. Still think it's a bug or glitch.
