TigerBurge 2,374 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 From Weekly Update: Xûr will also sell a new consumable, the Three of Coins, which gives bosses a chance to drop Exotic Engrams, including Weapon Engrams. These consumables have a cumulative luck effect, so even if one doesn’t net you a drop, the next one has a higher chance to do so. This shows you should only be using ONE coin per Ultra you kill, if it doesn't get you anything you run it again use a coin and that will further increase your chance. Based on the description from the weekly update, using more than one Three of Coin is a complete waste. Confirmed by: /u/Parkwaydrive23 "I've been farming Scourge of Winter story boss. Get the checkpoint outside his chamber. Pop coin, snipe boss low, run in and rocket suicide to kill him. If he dropped loot, it'll still be there. Rinse and repeat. Within 15 coins, I've gotten 3 chest exotics."

BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't like the cheese to farm this, but I think it's a cool idea overall. Thanks for the explanation. I bought 5 of these this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,374 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 No real reason to cheese it. Just run strikes then they can drop at the boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Just to let everyone know, apparently on Gothalion's stream for some reason the Psion Flayers are not counted as Ultras. Also, I have shit luck- five bosses, fives coins and no exotics. I'm due for one! i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinOwl 644 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Just say no to cheese! It increases cholesterol and reduces self-esteem. If you decide to put your dick in crazy, be ready to change your phone number and relocate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 It's too tedious and boring for me to do the suicide cheese on Source of Winter, I am not that interested in all the exotics day one. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sennex 1,903 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I landed 3 exotics yesterday for 20 of the coin things. Invective Hereafter the impossible Machines (Also, the ones Xur was selling, so that sucked, I could have just bought them) Luke 23:34 'And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't think it be like it is, but it do."

BO7H B4RRELS 2,447 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I'm still a little confused on the cumulative effect of these coins. The O.P. states, "These consumables have a cumulative luck effect, so even if one doesn’t net you a drop, the next one has a higher chance to do so. This shows you should only be using ONE coin per Ultra you kill, if it doesn't get you anything you run it again use a coin and that will further increase your chance." So, why not just use 2-3 of them right away to have a better chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBurge 2,374 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Some say it works to use more. Some think it doesnt. I popped two last night and it netted me one. It's still up to RNGesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch616 697 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Used 1 coin per strike and ran about 8 last night and netted myself the lesser seen "Jack Shit" exotic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plumbrodders 6 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Used 1 coin per strike and ran about 8 last night and netted myself the lesser seen "Jack Shit" exotic Think that exotic is quite common I have used 7 coins so far to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
