==Destiny Public Event types==

*'''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]].

*'''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]].

*'''Spire Integration''' − Here, Guardians must prevent waves of [[Vex]] from fortifying their underground structures by keeping them away from an Integration Spire until the timer runs out. If Guardians manage to capture the three [[Sync Plate]]s that appear around the area, they will trigger the Heroic version where an [[Integration Mind]] will appear alongside Elite Vex. This event can be found on [[Nessus]], [[Europa]], and [[Io]].

*'''Ether Resupply''' − For this event, Guardians are tasked with disrupting the flow of [[Ether]] by destroying the [[Prime Ether Servitor]] before it disappears. Periodically, [[Transport Servitor]]s will appear and shield the Prime Ether Servitor from damage until they are either destroyed or absorbed. If Guardians manage to destroy all Transport Servitors before they are absorbed, the Heroic Version will be triggered where the Prime Ether Servitor goes berserk and gains improved damage resistance, a faster fire rate, and the ability to transport players high into the air. This event is found in the [[EDZ]], on [[Nessus]], the [[Moon]], and [[Europa]].

*'''Weapons Exchange''' − For this event Guardians must disrupt a [[Fallen]] weapons exchange by killing the [[Resilient Captain]] and [[Arsenal Walker]] guarding the weapon caches. Shooting out the legs of the Walker will cause it to drop Arc Charges which can be used to unlock the weapon caches. Unlocking all three weapon caches will trigger the Heroic version where a second Arsenal Walker will drop in along with elite Fallen. Destroying both Walkers completes the event. This event is found in the [[EDZ]], in the [[Cosmodrome]], on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], and on the [[Moon]].

*'''Witches' Ritual''' − In this event Guardians must capture two Hex Circles and defeat the [[Wizard]]s leading the event to prevent them from opening a Hive Portal. Destroying the two shielded crystals on either side of the portal (the shields can be lowered by continuing to hold the Hex Circles) will trigger the Heroic version that differs slightly based on location. If done on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]] either a [[Darkblade]] [[Abyssal Champion]] or a [[Omnigul, Will of Crota|Omnigul]]-lookalike [[Abyssal Sorcerer]] will emerge from the portal along with an endless onslaught of [[Thralls]] and [[Cursed Thrall]]s. The Abyssal Champion acts the same as [[Alak-Hul]] but is less powerful, while the Abyssal Sorcerer is a [[Wizard]] with the additional abilities to teleport and to rapid-fire multiple fast-moving [[Solar]] Axion Darts with a high degree of tracking. If done on Mars, either an Orge called [[Ul-Heru, Envoy of Savathûn]] or a [[Wizard]] called [[Exhara, Ambassador of Savathûn]] will emerge accompanied by [[Thralls]], [[Cursed Thrall]]s, [[Adherent]]s and even [[Vanquisher]]s. Ul-Heru has no additional abilities for an Ogre, while Exhara acts the same as the Abyssal Sorcerer. Killing the given target will complete the event. This event is found in on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], [[Mars]], the [[Moon]] and in [[Savathûn's Throne World]].

*'''Cryo-Pod Escape''' − In this event, Guardians must prevent waves of enemies from releasing their leader from a crashed cryo-pod from the [[Prison of Elders]]. After the enemies are defeated, the pod will crack open and release an enemy boss from within, where the Guardians must kill the boss to win the event. The heroic version is triggered by throwing enough orbs at the boss to make it freeze, allowing the participating Guardians to transfer it back to the Prison of Elders. The orbs are generated by shooting the vents on the side of the Cryo-Pod once it emits a freezing gas. This event is only available on the [[Tangled Shore]].

*'''Ether Ritual''' − In this event, Guardians must stop the [[Scorn]] from completing an extraction of [[Dark Ether]] from an [[Ether Harvester]]. A [[Dredge Chieftain]] must be defeated in each of the three oncoming waves, one at a time. Once all three Chieftains have been defeated, an [[Ether Abomination]] will spawn. Defeat it to complete the event. The heroic version is triggered by shooting down all the ether clouds that come from the smaller Emitters before they reach the central Harvester in between each Chieftain-led wave. Instead of the Abomination, Guardians will face either a reanimated version of [[Elykris, the Machinist]] or the Throne World champion [[Ksimikaa the Painsmith]]. This event is available on the [[Tangled Shore]], the [[Dreaming City]] and [[Savathûn's Throne World]].

*'''[[Escalation Protocol]]''' − In this event, Guardians defend towers against waves of progressively harder enemies. Every wave consists of four phases: 1. Eliminating Hive, 2. Closing 1 - 3 Shadowrifts, 3. Eliminating more Hive and 4. Eliminating a [[Hive]] boss. Occasionally one wave consists of a modified ''Injection Rig''-, ''Witches' Ritual''- or ''Defend the Warsat''-Event. In the seventh and final wave, Guardians must face a [[Hive]] boss in order to complete the encounter. There are five possible bosses, each rotating on a weekly basis. This event is only found on [[Mars]].

*'''[[Altars of Sorrow]]''' - In this event, Guardians defeat waves of [[Hive]] and [[Nightmare]]s within a time limit in 5 tiers of increasing difficulty. Defeating enemies adds time to this limit, while letting Nightmares escape subtracts a significant amount. At the end, Guardians face a Nightmare boss to end the event. This event is only found on the [[Moon]].

*'''[[Seraph Towers]]''' - In this event, Guardians defended one or two of three support towers against varying enemies while they charged to provide power for [[Rasputin]]'s weapons manufacturing and deployment activities. Once a support tower was charged, it would generate polarity charges that must be thrown at a sphere of energy to "push" it towards a central tower to proceed. Once the central tower was fully charged, Guardians then needed to defeat two [[Champion]]s to complete the event. With the appropriate [[Seraph Bunker]] upgrades, Guardians would be able to use the [[Valkyrie]] and summon Heavy [[Frame]]s to help defend. This event was found in the [[European Dead Zone]], on the [[Moon]], and on [[Io]], before it was removed at the end of ''[[Season of the Worthy]]''.
