Let's discuss this thing.
What is it, what does it do, how long does it last, is it one time use only, are there any hidden effects?
I'm currently at work and I'm curious.
If all it is is a consumable to change appearance, I think everyone is going to be highly disappointed. It could at least make rare or higher engrams drop more often, give a 4x multiplier to glimmer gains, increase chest rewards or give max stats (100%) to the player using it.
EDIT:
What we know so far -
1. 30 min consumable, from postmaster. Stack of 3. Just one.
2. Strange sounds can be heard while wearing it.
3. Pumpkinhead Does not work for everyone (glitchy)
4. Jackolyte sometimes drops from Hive enemies.
5. It changes your helmet into an acolyte Jackolantern.
6. Having completed the nightfall seems to be part of #3
7. Xur sells an extra item if you visit him after freshly using one. (Flight of shadows, changes respawn animation for 24 hours.)

Shooting from the hip also changed the muzzle flash to a pumpkin flash thing. Kinda cool :D

But just incase, i have and they have multiple shaders for their characters, and they do have a halloween shader that you can keep. So honestly cut it back with the purple. Lets see some orange n black for halloween.

1 ReplyI equipped one at the start of the moon raid, because the description suggested a Hive buff - nothing happened... Didn't even get a pumpkin on my head. It wasn't there when I got back to the tower either :(

Apparently at random times the pumpkin face pops up on your screen as a jump scare

2 RepliesI can't figure out how to get it

10 RepliesAfter playing with it I've discovered a change in atmosphere on moon eg, Wolf howls, screaming, the roof outside the Summoning Pits has changed before you enter, i'll keep you posted

I just used one and it did nothing for me :/

Just did the last part of Thorn bounty. After receiving my Thorn and killing Phogath, I was rewarded with another Jackolyte as well.

5 RepliesEdited by klichekid: 10/28/2014 5:51:15 PMGo to the Moon, for any reason (Story, Strike, Patrol) and from the starting point look up at Earth. The Earth had been BLACKED OUT by a strange, spoopy goop. Anybody else catch that? You don't need the Jackolyte active either.

4 RepliesThis is what Bungie have been spending their time on rather than fixing their game. Happy halloween.

3 RepliesYeah, I wasted one, didn't work for me. Now I'm left with 2.

8 RepliesEdited by Nushia: 10/28/2014 3:58:05 PMI have just consumed one of my Jackolytes and there is NO pumpkin on my head. My friends are running around with those pumpkins on their heads which also include a lot of errors, "contacting Destiny servers" and in-game screams (fun halloween thing that comes with the Jackolyte). Mine is no where to be found, no screams to be heard, but I do get the errors since I've put that damn thing on and it isn't even on my character's head! Nice going Bungie!

4 RepliesThe reward should have been a permanent trophy to carry around and to show off much later down the road. Not this consumable garbage.

I'm like "B**** please, tf2 did that style 4 years ago.
