*'''[[High-Value Target]]s''' - A special enemy will appear somewhere in the area, accompanied by a brief on-screen notice. Guardians must eliminate them before they depart. This enemy is usually a [[Major]], but can be an [[Ultra]] or an [[Elite]], and can even be followed by a squad of its fellows. Successfully killing the enemy will yield a chest containing [[Glimmer]] and a reputation token. An [[Engram]] may drop from the enemy itself. This event occurs in all locations, with enemies of the faction present there.

*'''Enemy Patrol''' - In any location, a group of [[Minor]] enemies led by a more powerful combatant (usually an Elite) may appear in a slightly hidden part of a public area, with no message to announce them. Occasionally a player may need to kill a few waves before the leader comes. Killing the leader and then the remaining troops will make a chest appear containing common gear.


*'''Enemies move against each other''' - A message can announce that two enemy factions have started fighting each other. They will keep sending stronger and stronger troops as the battle goes on, eventually becoming outfitted with [[Absorption Shield]]s, as if the Shielded Foes [[Modifier]] became active. The belligerents will retreat after some time, signaled by a message. While there is no chest reward for this event, it is a good place to find large amounts of powerful enemies. This event occurs in all locations where two factions hostile to each other are present.

*'''Vex Invasion''' - This event occured during [[Season of the Undying]], on the Moon. After a [[Public Event]] was completed, the [[Sol Divisive]] would open a gate and send in an invasion force. Waves of Vex would start pouring in, led by a [[Gate Lord (enemy)|Gate Lord]]. Killing the Gate Lord would make the Vex retreat and start another invasion in the same area. When three Lords were killed, the invasion would stop and players would be awarded Powerful Gear. If enough [[Angelic]]s were killed in each wave, there was a chance an [[Overlord]] would appear after the third Gate Lord's destruction. Defeating it would grant Pinnacle Gear.

*'''Smuggler's Chest''' - On Europa, in any public location, there may be a hidden chest. This event has three variations:
**Fallen terminals may appear in the area, one of which has a sealed chest next to it. Interacting with one of the terminals will give a Data Key (Incomplete) buff with a 45 second timer. One must interact with the other two terminals, which will now be highlighted by pillars of light, to turn the buff into Data Key (Short-Term), which will allow the player to open the chest. Leaving the area will drop the buff.
**A single terminal may appear in the area, which will give a hint to where the chest is hidden if interacted with. The chest will be invisible, but when near it the prompt to Uncover Hidden Cache will pop up, and interacting will make the Smuggler's Chest appear and open up.
**A chest in the area may be booby trapped, and interacting with it will give the player a Data Key (Destructive) buff with a 60 second timer. One needs to find the Smuggler's Chest in the area to use the Data Key, or it will self destruct, killing the player.


*'''Enemy waiting out the storm''' - On Europa, in the [[Eventide Ruins]], there is a chance a [[Technorunner]] will appear whenever a snowstorm happens, announced by a message. Players that kill this Captain can begin a small quest that leads to Europan Gear.
