Public Event

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

A public event where players fend off a Fallen attack.

A Public Event is a type of multiplayer match in Destiny in which several players in the same area on a patrol work together to achieve a common goal. Events may occur while on patrol or within strike missions.

Public Events are rated after completion based on the Guardians' performance; if time runs out before the objective is met, it is a Bronze-Tier rating. If time runs out but the guardians manage to almost complete the objective, it is a Silver-Tier rating. If the objective is completed before the timer runs out, is a Gold-Tier rating. Guardians are rewarded with Glimmer, experience, and sometimes a rare material for Gold-Tier ratings, which are rewarded instantly. Guardians can also pick up an additional reward at the postmaster if its their first gold-tier rating of the day.

Public Event Types

• Defeat Extraction Crews - Defeat three waves of enemies before time runs out to deactivate the Glimmer Drill.
• Event: Defend the Warsat - Have your Ghost scan the warsat; the more Guardians that stand near it, the faster it can download the data. Defend yourself from waves of enemy reinforcements.
• Defeat the Devil Walker - Destroy a Devil Walker before time runs out.
• Kill an Enemy - A powerful enemy with high health and rapid shield regeneration will appear. Defeat them before they reach a checkpoint; this will require heavy firepower from several players.
