Public Event

A Public Event is a type of multiplayer match in Destiny in which several players, grouped in fireteams, 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 Fallen before time runs out to deactivate the Glimmer Drill.
 * Event: Defend the Warsat - Have Ghost scan the warsat; the more Guardians that stand near it, the faster Ghost can download its 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.

Note: Sometimes instead of a Public Event, the player will recieve the message "The enemy is moving against each other", and a large group of Fallen and Hive will start fighting. Most of the enemies found in these events will be very powerful. (i.e. Hallowed Knight, Reaver Captain) Fighting in this event does not reward the player with any bonus experience.
