Destiny 2 Update 8.0.5.5: Skywatch enemy density, Encore boss, and more

Destiny 2 just got a mid-week patch in Episode Echoes, only a couple of weeks before Episode Revenant comes along. This is a slight pace-change from the developers, as mid-week patches haven't been implemented for a long time. Everyone did get quite a hefty downtime before this update, even though its size isn't all that substantial.

The most important change listed with Update 8.0.5.5 lies with the Skywatch enemy density. Ever since the arrival of the Legend seal, players were facing problems while trying to complete the "Accidental Generosity" triumph, as the drop rate of Engrams from Skywatch enemies was at an all-time low.

With these changes, obtaining Engrams might become easier for players.
