I read pete's post yesterday and thought 'wow, that's overblowing the situation'... but left it alone because I thought maybe I was doing it wrong, and it WAS working out to 4 revisits per person per chest.

I was glad to see others found it a little out of the ordinary, too. :)

Nope, my post was 100% truth. It was after finishing the Skywatch event on the open cliff edge, by where the Warsat normally hits, the fence chest was the first one I looked for, and sure enough it was there. Since I was so close already and that chest is right by the transition, I got 4 openings on it.

Never for a minute thought you were exaggerating - I just meant that 4 is by FAR not the normal number you'll be able to get on one of these.

I have only gotten the one near the outpost and that one is tough to get 3.

The one next to the Archer's Line entrance.

Did it 3 times; got the circular structure spawn twice, and the devil walker spawn once. And the devil walker spawn I fucked up and didn't go far enough back (towards Archer's Line) - I've noticed that the boundaries aren't showing up as obviously as they used to - so I didn't even get a second dip, because it hadn't 'refilled'.

Just make sure that the area text shows up on the HUD, and you'll be able to tell where the threshold is the next few times.

So far, I've never gotten more than 2, and sometimes only 1. (Haven't missed it entirely in the last dozen dips, though, so that's good. :) )

Skywatch is the easiest place to get 3+ runs, as the three locations that I know of (thanks to Guardian) are all close to a loading zone. Check this video, where I grab it four times even though I make a few significant screw-ups (tip my Sparrow over twice then run the wrong way). Getting it a fifth time shouldn't be an issue if you avoid these mistakes.

All this 4 and 5-dip discussion makes me jelly. ;)

Stay in the Skywatch for easy runs. The target has no shield and you never have to travel far. Just make sure that you have space in your Postmaster for all of those Engrams that you won't be able to hold. A BUNCH of my postmaster stuff (including Exotics, I think) has been getting deleted as new Engrams drop in... though I learned that you CAN lock weapons and gear even if it's sitting at the postmaster.

Skywatch is also fun because of the events. The very first time that I did it, a Warsat crashed down during the fight.

The last time, enemies moved against each other right before it started, so Hive and Fallen were joining the fray.
