Bungie themselves need to explain how they work. I've heard so many different theories as to how they work, but it really seems to me like a horrible RNG system for them...

There is no cool down on them. Best place to farm exotics is the last RoI mission. Kill 2 of the bosses then jump off the map. Rinse and repeat as necessary

I agree. This is what I know to be true: 1. They do not stack. Never use more than one in a single boss or PvP match. 2. The average drop rate of engrams is about 1 in 5 in PvP, and over 1 in 7 after PvE bosses. I know this from a little experiment I (and a ton of people who participated after they saw my post) where I used one 3oC in 50 Crucible matches and on 50 PvE bosses. The averages reflect over 1000 3oC used among a lot of people is PvP and PvE. I don't even use 3oC in PvE anymore.

They work exactly like their description says. It is clearly explained

I may not be 100% accurate, but to my knowledge: The 'stack effect' [i]doesn't[/i] mean the more you have active, the more likely you are to get an Exotic. It means that after you've killed an Ultra (well, most) or completed a PvP match with a 3oC active (exotic particles) but didn't receive an Exotic, the next time you use a 3oC, your chances of getting an Exotic increases. Its [i]this[/i] effect that stacks until an Exotic drops and the effect resets. Hope that helps.

There is NO cool down, you just can't farm a boss like Draksis as successfully now with them. Use 1 at a time, per Ultra, per Crucible match etc. Don't ever expect anything either, it'll happen Wen it does 😀

I used to get good drop rates from 3oc but not anymore I think it has something to do with skeleton keys of which I have found zero random ones.
-
Hahah whats there to know. Use them. Check you character screen and make sure exotic particles is there and play if not pop one.
-
It is explained clearly in their description
-
Just use 1 at a time homie. Stock up on hundreds of those things and run heroic strikes.
-
Just use 1 at a time. Kill an Ultra, make sure it was in fact used in your menu, and pop another one and go kill another Ultra. Even at the Bond Brothers where [i]both[/i] bosses can drop an exotic. If the first boss dies and you don't get a drop, pop another before the 2nd boss dies. It's just RNG. I personally have had a decrease in drops this week, but that's just my experience and doesn't mean much.
