Introduction

While Public Events are somewhat straightforward, there is a slightly hidden mechanic to Public Events called Heroic Public Events. They're a step up from their normal counterparts, but they'll offer you some of the best rewards in the game if you can successfully trigger them. To start one, all you need to do is head to any normal Public Event and follow the steps laid out in this guide. Make sure to "Rally to the Flag" for an added Super charge bonus!

Cabal Extraction Heroic Public Event

This one requires timing and a bit of precision. While you're being prompted to take out the Cabal drill, focus your fire instead on the Cabal ship flying overhead. If you can destroy it before you take out the drill you'll upgrade this event to a Heroic Public Event.

Devil Walker Heroic Public Event

Triggering a Devil Walker Heroic Public event requires teamwork, which can make this one a bit annoying if you don't have a team. However, I solo it regularly so I know it can be done without a team. When you're going up against the walker shoot the legs to spawn 3 of glowing orbs per leg shield destroyed. Pick these orbs up and deposit them in the sockets located around the arena. Once you've done all of this, a second Devil Walker will arrive and this event will be upgraded.

Disrupt Vex Construction Heroic Public Event

If you've played through the Pyramidion Strike, the steps to trigger this Heroic Public Event will be familiar to you. You'll need to have players stand in three glowing rings located around the arena at once in order to upgrade this to a Heroic Public Event. Note that you can only do this with more than a minute remaining on the Public Event clock, so you'll need to coordinate quickly with your teammates.

Ether Resupply Heroic Public Event

This Public Event can be a pain to upgrade. You'll need to keep shooting the huge Servitor until it spawns a number of smaller Servitors, and then you'll need to keep taking these smaller ones out, as they arrive repeatedly in waves. Keep in mind that the smaller Servitors can vanish from battle if too much time passes so you'll need to work quickly to destroy all the smaller Servitors.

Glimmer Extraction Heroic Public Event

There are three Glimmer Extractions that take place over the course of this Public Event. In order to upgrade this one to a Heroic Public Event you'll need to target a small, round object on the floor that spawns along with each group of enemies. Destroy this three times, and you'll upgrade the event.

Injection Rig Heroic Public Event

This Public Event can be difficult to upgrade as you'll need to withstand a lot of damage in the process. Whenever you kill a Psion in the Injection Rig event you'll start taking burning damage, and at the same time vent ports on a the rig will open up allowing them to be destroyed. Should you destroy all the vents the event will upgrade to a Heroic Public Event.

Taken Blight Heroic Public Event

For this event, your team will need to step into all the bubbles around the vicinity in order to then deal damage to the larger bubble. If you can deal enough damage, a boss will appear and the event will upgrade to a Heroic Public Event.

Hive Witches Heroic Public Event

As soon as this event starts take out the first two Hive Witches as quickly as possible. After this spread your team out so you can capture both the circles around the arena at once. If you can do this before all the Hive Witches are destroyed the event will be upgraded to a Heroic Public Event.

Warsat Heroic Public Event

This one is pretty simple. All you've got to do is kill any of the elite Hive nearby with orange health bars, which can include Knights, Ogres, and Witches. Whenever you kill one of those enemies, one of the Shreikers will drop its shield. Now all you need to do is destroy the Shreiker that just opened as quickly as possible. Wash, rinse repeat three times until you've killed all three Shreikers within 3 minutes of starting the event and you’ll unlock this Heroic Public Event, spawning a Golgoth Ogre in the process.

End

That's it! Go out there and git gud.

Cabal Extraction:
It's about a % of capture after 30-35% a ship spawned always at the same spot in the air (at each location possible for that) that circling around (and can be take down). If ignored, he will fly toward the point (and try to kill you, and if you stand still he has really high chances), wait there for a small amount of time and when fly that circle again.
Disrupt Vex:
Yes, you need to capture 3 linked points but don't forget that you will failed the event if Vex will take a middle point 10 times. So you also need an eye for that for a little bit.
Hive witches:
Step on a circle, wait a bit -> kill a corresponding wizard. Step on another one - kill another wizard. WHEN THE CRYSTALS appear, stay in a correspondig circle for a bit, when the shield on crystal is down - break a crystal. Make the same to the second crystal - and the heroic public event begins.

Cartlord Yes, and now that you mention it there's another one in the Tangled Shore (something with Ether corruption where you need to shoot Ether out of the air

All hail the Cartlord 20 Oct, 2019 @ 4:37am

Charr, do you mean the Rift Generator thingie with Abominations?

Thanks for pointing out all the flaws in my guide folks.

I'll add the parts I've missed in due time.

You forgot the Prison Pod on the Tangled Shore and some event in the Dreaming City that i can't remember, and one on Mercury that i can't remember.

Hollow 19 Oct, 2019 @ 3:52pm

you have to destroy white crystals in hive witches event iirc

All hail the Cartlord 19 Oct, 2019 @ 6:41am

Extra - the Mercury Vex Crossroad PE can be upgraded to Heroic by breaking a crystal and doing a jumping puzzle, and the Mars Witch Event can be Heroic'd by not just capping the circles, but by shooting crystals, similar to Shadowrifts.
