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.)

Edited by Ryutsukai: 10/28/2014 7:41:42 PMI don't know if it's part of the Jackolyte buff or not but I used one as soon as I got it, went to the Moon on patrol and started punching Hive to death to conserve ammo and within ten minutes got a Legendary Engram and then a blue one. Once more not sure if it was because of the buff or if RNGesus is favoring me today or something... EDIT: Also I was only about 12-15 minutes into killing things before I hit monkey and weasel Hell so yeah...
