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]], [[Motes of Light]] and experience instantly. Earlier in the game's history, it would reward [[Ascendant Shard]]s or [[Ascendant Energy]] for Gold-Tier ratings. Guardians could pick up their rewards at the [[Postmaster]] if it was their first Gold-Tier rating of the day.<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref> | 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.

Note: Sometimes instead of a Public Event, the player will receive the message "The enemy is moving against each other", and a large group of two types of enemies 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.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2bbqs1/public_events_guide/ '''Reddit''': ''Public Event Schedule'']</ref> This will happen in the [[Skywatch]], [[The Barrens]], and [[Ishtar Commons]]. Also, the player might receive the message "A roving band of Pikes is nearby." In this instance, several [[Dreg]]s on [[Pike]]s will appear. This can happen at the [[Forgotten Shore]] as well as on the [[Moon]]. | Note: Sometimes instead of a Public Event, the player will receive the message "The enemy is moving against each other", and a large group of two types of enemies will start fighting.

Additional Note: When fighting Hive Wizards for the Kill an Enemy events the Wizard will sometimes "teleport" near the end of the event if the players manage to slow them down sufficiently for an extended period, usually resulting in failure of the event due to the time taken to re-engage the target. | Additional Note: When fighting Hive Wizards for the Kill an Enemy events the Wizard will sometimes "teleport" near the end of the event if the players manage to slow them down sufficiently for an extended period, usually resulting in failure of the event due to the time taken to re-engage the target. | ||

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]]. | In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Public Events appear more frequently than in [[Destiny]] and are also announced 5 minutes before they begin.

*'''Vex Crossroads''' − In this event, Vex are being transferred between the past and future via warp gates. Destroy Vex units to draw out two [[Keeper of Ages Past|Keepers of Ages Past]],[[Keeper of Ages Present|Keepers of Ages Present]] or [[Keeper of Ages Unseen|Keepers of Ages Unseen]], each of which will drop two Arc Charges. A warp gate requires a single Arc Charge to be shut down, but the Arc Charges will dissipate if not planted quickly enough. After shutting down the first four warp gates in the event's starting area, two more warp gates on islands on opposite sides will need to be shut down in the same manner. When this is accomplished, a [[Vex Gate Lord]] will appear back in the starting area and must be destroyed, which will drop two loot chests. The trigger for the Heroic version is that when fighting on one of the islands, shoot the crystal behind the island that appears after shutting down the warp gate and it will create a platform and another crystal. Climb up the platforms created by shooting crystals, to reach the top of the island and stand in the sync plate. This only needs to be done once. This event is only found on [[Mercury]]. | *'''Vex Crossroads''' − In this event, Vex are being transferred between the past and future via warp gates.

*'''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]]. | *'''Weapons Exchange''' − For this event Guardians must disrupt a [[Fallen]] weapons exchange by killing the [[Resilient Captain]] and [[Arsenal Walker]] guarding the weapon caches.

*'''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 [[ | *'''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.

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 [[Thrall]]s, [[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]]. | ||
*'''[[Warsat Down]]''' − This event is available on [[Mars]], the [[Moon]], and in the [[Cosmodrome]]. In this event, [[Guardian]]s have to scan and defend a crashed Warsat from waves of [[Hive]] attackers. On Mars, [[Rasputin]] will periodically provide [[Valkyrie]]s from nearby plates, while in the other locations, [[Swordbearer Nightmare]]s will appear and drop their [[Cleaver]]s for the player to use. Around the site, three locked [[Shrieker]]s will be present. After a while, two [[Ugul Gar Wizard]]s 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. If all the Shriekers are destroyed fast enough, the Heroic version will be triggered and the Hive will call a giant [[Ogre]] 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 heroic event. | *'''[[Warsat Down]]''' − This event is available on [[Mars]], the [[Moon]], and in the [[Cosmodrome]].

*'''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]]. | *'''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]].
