Warsat Down

Warsat Down, or Defend the Warsat, is a Public Event that takes place on many Destinations in Destiny 2 and Destiny respectively. A Warsat has crashed to the ground, and the Guardians are tasked with Transmatting it while hordes of enemies try to stop them.

Objectives

 * Defend the Warsat
 * Guardians Linked: X

Gameplay
A Warsat will fall to the ground in the area. It will be highlighted by the Public Event icon, with a one minute decreasing timer. Players have one minute to get close and interact with it, beginning the scan. Staying close to the Warsat will progress the transmission. Enemies of the factions encountered in the destination will begin attacking, sending in waves of increasingly powerful combatants, eventually calling forth Majors and shielded units. Reaching 100% progress completes the event.

OR
 * Defeat Golgoth, Ichor of Xol
 * Defeat the Infernal Ogre

Gameplay
A Warsat will fall to the ground in the area. It will be highlighted by the Public Event icon, with a two minutes decreasing timer. Interacting with it will begin the scan. Staying close to the Warsat will progress the transmission. Waves of Hive will start attacking the fireteam, increasing in power as the event goes on, with Knights eventually gaining Absorption Shields. On Mars, Rasputin will periodically provide Valkyries from nearby plates, while in the other locations, Revenant Knights with Cleavers will appear and drop their swords for the players to use. Around the site, three locked Shriekers will be present. After a while, two Ugul Gar Wizards will appear around the Warsat, and quickly move to opposite ends to summon a Poison Cloud all over the scanning area. Defeating the Wizards will make one of the Shriekers open up, and once it is defeated, two more Wizards will appear and so on. Filling the bar completly will end the event.

Heroic Event
If all the Shriekers are destroyed quickly enough, the Heroic version will be triggered and the Hive will call a giant Ogre leading even more powerful troops to defeat the fireteam, being Golgoth, Ichor of Xol for the Grasp of Nokris, or an Infernal Ogre for the other broods. Killing this Ogre will complete the event.
