In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Public Events appear more frequently than in [[Destiny]] and are also announced 5 minutes before they begin. Once an event is announced, an icon will appear on the map screen for the planet, which allows players to find and track the event. If a player arrives at the location before the start of the event they will find a glowing flag and have the option of rallying to it. Rallying to the Flag instantly recharges all of their abilities, including their [[Super]], refills all ammunition, and displays the time until the event starts. Successfully completing the event will reward participating players with [[Glimmer]], a piece of equipment, and [[planetary materials]] that can be turned into that planet's vendor to increase reputation. Failing an event still yields materials and Glimmer but does not give equipment. Additionally, Public Events now have a Heroic version that is automatically unlocked once certain objectives are met during the event. The Heroic version increases the difficulty of the event but also increases the value of the rewards upon completion, such as a chance of receiving multiple pieces of equipment and/or a [[Legendary]] or [[Exotic]] [[Engram]].

*'''Cabal Excavation''' − For this event, [[Guardian]]s are tasked with halting a [[Red Legion]] mining operation by capturing a [[Cabal]] [[Mining Lander]] while defending it against waves of Cabal soldiers and mortar fire. Once the progress bar has reached 33%, a [[Thresher]] will begin to appear in the skies overhead. Destroying it will activate the Heroic version, where the Guardians must now kill the [[Excavator Valus]] leading the operation while contending with Elite Cabal and concentrated mortar fire. This event is found on [[Nessus]], [[Io]], and the [[EDZ]].
*'''[[Cabal Excavation]]''' − Stop the Cabal from mining resources.
*'''Injection Rig''' − During this event, Guardians must stop a [[Red Legion]] drilling crew from using an [[Injection Rig]] to uncover secrets in an area. Guardians must kill the three [[Infiltrator Psion]]s. After killing an [[Infiltrator Psion]], a large shield will appear over the Rig and it will begin venting heat for a few seconds. Any guardians inside the shield when this happens will take continuous damage for a few seconds. If all of the heat vents are destroyed, the Heroic version will trigger where they must now kill the [[Infiltrator Valus]] that appears. This event is found on [[Nessus]], on [[Mars]] and in the [[EDZ]].
*'''[[Injection Rig (Public Event)|Injection Rig]]''' − The Cabal's attempt to spy on an area must be stopped.
