One time use then? dayum... I got only 400 coins.

He used one before every single kill. It automatically stacks/increases chance if a coin doesn't net you a exotic. So the next coin will have an even higher chance for an exotic. But it's still only a chance. The buff itself disappears when you kill an Ultra so you have to re-use before every single kill.

I think by the end of today people will have every exotic possible that is from an engram. This is love, I just wish Y1 exotics wouldn't show in their year 2 version
Strange Coins for glimmer was literally a few hours after Xur's first visit. Same day patch
Still can't believe people were making new characters to buy ONE coin when you had no way to skip the cutscene and had to do the first mission before going to the Tower
yea but what is the exploit?
Thank you for the proper explanation Jinjo.
so let's say it is roughly a 1 in 5 average acquisition rate. Please bear in mind that doesn't mean you absolutely get one exotic per 5 five kills, know what I mean?
That depends completely on how this actually is implemented on the backend and we have nowhere near enough information to know. There are several ways of addressing it, seems to me the simplest is just to have an activation cooldown on 3oCs like ammo synthesis.

The coin and ascendant material grind on vanilla was insane.

I'm down
Yes.
Though you have to die *with him*, otherwise the countdown starts and you lose the checkpoint.
Been two times my rocket somehow kills him without damaging me, I'm already a bit sick of running that mission... ^^
So basically pop a coin no matter what.
Do we increase the diffivulty level?
No need to pop another before dying, just do it after respawning eh?

I really just want a exotic weapon to go with all my new armor, so imma play strikes until I get that.
Stock up on coins.
Get a checkpoint with an Ultra (like Darksis in Scourge of Winter). Get him weak and then kill him with a point blank rocket so you both die. If the coin worked you'll respawn with an exotic Engram on the floor.
If it didn't, use the item again and repeat the process. Apparently 1/5 tries will give you a new exotic.
As 7 coins per, this means testing ain't cheap tho.

No.
1. Pop Three of Coins
2. Make a suicide pact with Draksis
3. Once you're both dead, respawn at the checkpoint
4. Whether or not he dropped an Exotic Engram, pop another Three of Coins
5. ???
6. Profit!

Why you leave me Deku?
Jinjo

Yup. The chance just gets slightly higher on the next coin if you didn't get an exotic engram with the last coin, that's it. That's what they mean by "stacking".
Do NOT use multiple coins at the same time.

Whine and Cheese is my all time favorite OT title. That's us in a nutshell
Since the buff is consumed after every Ultra kill regardless - for those of us who don't have infinite strange coins, wouldn't it be best to use them for heroic strikes anyways? Considering those guys barf out 2-3 blue/purple engrams on each death it would make sense they have a better drop rate.

Working as intended.
Yeah. It's technically better to use them on strikes since you'll collect engrams along the way.

Before I get home at 7pm eastern if my bad luck with exploits continues.

This is my theory.
right, if you have 290 exotics you can only move laterally with gear you get from doing this. Use one on strikes and go streaking and you can have a progress frenzy like ai did last page or whatever it was
it's useful for collection not progression.. still, you can easily get fucked over by luck (no reason at ALL for these engrams to prioritize loot you don't have), and/or get the short end of the stick for engram-per-3oC.
Can you guys wait at the CP so that I can switch back to my warlock?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah, that definitely seems the most reasonable. It doesn't actually nerf the functionality/drop chance of the buff itself, but just makes it so you can't have like 5 potential exotic drops per minute from checkpoint cheesing.
Yup, I'm planning to do some strike playlist action tonight anyway so that's my plan.
Zoba, formula:
Pop 3oC
Equip Ice Breaker and a RL
Shoot Draksis 4 times with Ice Breaker.
Use a rocket at super close range.
PROFIT
I have 4 already
