While patrol spaces aren’t the most popular areas in Destiny 2, there is one exception: Heroic Public Events. To a veteran player, nothing is more frustrating than a Guardian who refuses to trigger the simple objectives that make public events Heroic, allowing for extra loot and experience points for all.
As a result, knowing how to trigger these hidden objectives is vital—without them, you’re quite literally missing out on free loot.

Public Event Rewards
Heroic versions of public events grant additional loot compared to their normal counterparts. While neither will get you anything of extreme value, they’re a great way to farm for Glimmer, which can help you purchase just about anything in the game.
Normal public events will grant around 4,000 Glimmer, a small amount of XP, and the occasional rare (blue quality) item. In comparison, Heroic variants will drop 10,000-12,500 Glimmer, a larger chunk of XP, and up to two or three rare items.
