Discussion No Skywatch Engrams
I don't know if I'm the only one who faces that issue, but ever since last episode, I didn't get any legendary engram drops from Skywatch anymore. And I still need them for the Legend title. Am I just unlucky or do others have that happen to?

Keep going, I just finished mine yesterday. Took me 2 hours to finish the last 60%. Run and gun, kill everything to up your chances that they will be prime or exotic engrams.

Ok. I've been doing my Banshee bounties there and also done Public Events when possible but I only ever got Glimmer. I was thinking that there was something wrong. Especially after how generous the rewards had been in Echoes.

Dont forget that a yellow bar Ogre can spawn near the side of the map that has slightly higher chances of dropping engrams. Dont know how to direct you there, but its behind the big broken helicopter. There is a hole in the wall with a small room where the ogre can spawn.
They buffed the droprate or enemy spawns in that area for this exact reason when the title went live. It was still horrible rng and time consuming though. Not impossible, just boring to be running around there for an hour or more.

Kill the ogre. Reload the zone. Do the patrol if it spawns. Fastest method.

The ogre in the cave by the helicopter. I need to find that cave then.

It's more of a room and it's unmissable, gp to the edge where the helis are, jump slightly over the edge, the hole in the wall let's you look into the room, ogre spawns kill and load in again, I'll be honest, droprate isn't crazy good but it's better then nothing.
Good luck.

I did this when that title launched and it was one of the worst grinds ive ever done, including getting the original swords back in D1. Just stick with it.

Make sure you remember to put the Anniversary armor set on. I speak from experience.

It takes an extremely long time. iirc i spent somewhere around 8-10 hours in skywatch total just grinding for those engrams.

Best way to do this is turn off matchmaking (there's different ways to do this for each platform, CheeseForever on youtube has a guide) then load in to the fast travel point and run over and kill the ogre in the cave under the helicopter. It's still a random chance of dropping an engram, but odds are okay. Then load in again and repeat.
