Editing Event

{{stub}}
Various '''events''' are available as high-level endgame activities designed to be played after reaching Level 20. The rewards can include high-end loot, but are only available after a single completion with each character. <ref name = "Nightfall">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFRQlCX3Ygs '''Youtube''': ''Destiny Raids, Nightfall Missions Detailed'']</ref>

==Regular events==
These events are always available at a regular basis.

===Daily Crucible event===
Every day one [[Crucible]] gametype is chosen at random to be that day's Crucible event. This can include one of the rotating playlists not in regular circulation. The daily event offers more rewards than are normally available from a single match, including [[Passage Coin]]s to get into the [[Trials of Osiris]].

====Rewards====
*Year One
**'''Random'''—rewards can include three Passage Coins, crafting [[material]]s, or [[Legendary]] gear
*Year Two
**'''Fifteen [[Legendary Marks]]'''

===Weekly Crucible playlist===
Each week a Crucible playlist is chosen at random and featured for the entire week. Similar to the [[Vanguard]] Heroic Strikes, players can earn rewards for the first three matches completed in the playlist each week. Rewards are account-wide, rather than per character; completing three matches with one character and switching to another character will not grant any further rewards until the weekly reset.

====Rewards====
*'''Ten Legendary Marks''' (up to three times per week)

===Daily Heroic Story===
Every day a random [[Story]] mission is selected. The mission features the Heroic modifier, and offers more rewards than are normally available from replaying a Story mission. A minimum Light level of 350 (formerly 240) is required.

====Rewards====
*Year One
**'''Level 20/22/24''': One [[Engram]], ten [[Armor Materials]], one Primary Weapon upgrade, five Vanguard Marks, 4800 Experience
**'''Level 26/28/30''': One Ascendant Material, one Engram, twelve Upgrade Materials, one Primary Weapon upgrade, five Vanguard Marks, 6000 Experience
**'''Level 30/32/34''': Two Ascendant Material, one Engram, sixteen Upgrade Materials, one Primary Weapon upgrade, five Vanguard Marks, 7500 Experience
*Year Two
**'''Fifteen Legendary Marks'''

====Alternate endings====
Certain Story missions have alternate endings which can only be accessed when that mission is selected for the Daily Heroic Story. Known missions with these endings include:

*[[Lost to Light]]—players can access the normally-sealed [[Traitor's Ketch]] area near the end of the mission and have 10 minutes to clear the ship of all enemies, including a [[Taken]] [[Captain]] boss. Successfully completing this challenge rewards the [[Black Spindle]].
*[[Paradox]]—alternate paths in the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]] areas hide three [[Dead Ghost]]s containing the memories of the lost Guardian [[Praedyth]]. Collecting all three without dying in a Darkness Zone allows players to enter a portal where they must defeat a Taken [[Minotaur]] boss. Successfully completing this challenge rewards a total of four unique [[Grimoire]] cards and the "Cult Ghost" Mission Item, which can be turned in to [[Lakshmi-2]] for a cache of materials.

===Weekly Heroic Strike (Year One)===
Weekly Heroic Strikes were removed in ''[[The Taken King]]'' and replaced by the Vanguard Heroic Strike playlist.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13430 Bungie Weekly Update - 08/27/2015]</ref>

Each week, a random [[Strike]] was selected for the Weekly Heroic Strike. This Strike had both the Heroic modifier and an additional random modifier. Selecting a higher difficulty increased the reward payoff. Matchmaking was allowed.<Ref name = "Nightfall"/> 

====Rewards====
*'''Level 24/26/28''': One Engram, three [[Strange Coin]]s, three Vanguard Marks, 150 Vanguard [[Reputation]]
*'''Level 28/30/32''': One Engram, six Strange Coins, six Vanguard Marks, 250 Vanguard Reputation
*'''Level 30/32/34''': One Engram, nine Strange Coins, ten Vanguard Marks, 400 Vanguard Reputation

===Vanguard Heroic Strikes (Year Two)===
Vanguard Heroic Strikes replace the Weekly Heroic Strike. Players can play the Vanguard Heroic Strike playlist and earn rewards for the first three Strikes completed in it each week. Rewards are account-wide, rather than per character; achieving three wins with one character and switching to another character will not grant any further rewards until the weekly reset. All Strikes in the Vanguard Heroic playlist feature both the Heroic modifier and three random modifiers. A minimum Light level of 260 is required.

====Rewards====
*'''One Legendary [[Engram]]''' (rewarded on the first completed Strike each week only)
*'''Ten Legendary Marks''' (up to three times per week)
*'''Experience'''

===Nightfall Strike===
{{Main}}[[Nightfall]]
The Nightfall Strike is an extremely difficult Level 42 strike with five modifiers total. One of the modifiers is Epic, which replaces Heroic. The remaining four modifiers are random. Matchmaking is unavailable. The Nightfall is always a different Strike from the Weekly Heroic Strike; before ''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'', the two used the same Strike each week.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/06/destiny-major-changes-are-coming-to-the-nightfall-and-weekly-strike-missions?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social '''IGN''' - ''Destiny: Major Changes Are Coming to the Nightfall and Weekly Strike Missions'']</ref> A minimum Light level of 380 is recommended.

In ''Destiny 2'', there are two kinds of Nightfall Strike; The Ordeal, and regular Nightfalls. One Strike is chosen to be The Ordeal and three to be regular Nightfalls each week. The latter has a recommended minimum Light level of 820 and will disable equipment changes; modifiers can be applied by the Fireteam leader for a score bonus using the Five of Swords item, acquired from [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine]] free of charge. The Ordeal features five difficulty levels, the easiest having a recommended minimum Light level of 750, with the rest increasing with each season. Each difficulty features more modifiers and better rewards than the last.

====Rewards====
{{Expand-section}}
*Year One
**'''Random'''—rewards can include up to a dozen Strange Coins, various crafting materials, and [[Legendary]] or even [[Exotic]] gear.
**'''Radiant Light buff'''—all experience and reputation gains are increased for the rest of the week. Radiant Light was removed in ''[[The Taken King]]''; sources of XP and Reputation were adjusted accordingly to make up for its absence.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13430 Bungie Weekly Update - 08/27/2015]</ref>
