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.)

5 RepliesI went to freehold station on mars down in the dark room. Then I waited until other guardians showed up and chased after them with a jackolyte on. A few pointed and shot/punched at me after running away from me. I don't know how many I really scared doing that, but I had fun so it was all good. After that I went to the hell mouth and trashed the place while listing to Rob Zombie's song "I'm your boogie man." Basically people just need to lighten up and have some fun with it. Unless your complaining because it didn't work for you. That is a understandable complaint.
