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 thershold is the next few times.

That's what I meant by 'the boundaries aren't showing up as obviously as they used to' - I'm noticing that when rushing back and forth for chests, the area text is NOT showing up on the HUD.

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.

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.

With a single second to spare on the last opening. I know you are all pretty jealous of my super speed opening skills. You'll get there one day ;P

Skyshock? There are chests in crucible matches, too?

This is news to me. :(

Not sure if you are joking, but he mean Skywatch. No chests in Crucible.

We killed the Fallen by the far back comm tower, looked for then found the chest, and were still able to get three grabs out of it. Safe to assume that someone who is close enough the moment it spawns can grab it four times if they're quick with it.

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.

Just the exiting and coming back usually takes me at least 30-45 seconds. Madness.

Heh - same here. I did 12 runs yesterday (each bounty on two characters, plus one more run with a friend), and I NEVER got more than 2 shots at a chest (and usually not even that).

(For what it's worth: with 12 shots at ether keys, I opened 13 chests, total, including the three doubles I managed. The VAST majority of non-mats I got were blue engrams - maybe a dozen of them. I got 2 purple engrams, which is pretty nice. No treasure keys, no passage coins. So if we discount the farmers, of which there'll be a few, of course, the overwhelming majority of folks who actually take part in the Queen's Wrath leading up to Tuesday will earn a few dozen weapon/armor materials, and maybe a handful of actual items they want to keep. This doesn't seem like a bad thing to me.)

Ember Caves is great as well, if you get the chest spawn near Winter's Lair it is really easy to open it 3 times.

I'll have to try that--I have 400 spinmetal now so I'm kind've done with Old Russia..
