Events | Types of missions Destiny Guide

Events are one of the most interesting features in Destiny. They are activated at random moments, also during story and side missions. Joining the event is entirely optional, but if you ignore them, you will lose a chance of earning a large amount of experience points or acquiring valuable items. The vast majority of events focuses on close cooperation between several players, because doing them solo is usually very difficult. An additional difficulty is that in most cases events have time limits.

Defeating a Walker may be impossible without other players' help

An example of an Event is having to defeat an enemy Walker, i.e. a big mech. Players have to hit weak points of the gigantic machine and at the same time avoid its fire, because even a single shot can kill a Guardian.

You can be rewarded even if you fail to complete a given mission in 100 per cent

Another popular Event is preventing a powerful opponent from reaching consecutive checkpoints. Once again co-operation between players is the key to success. Interestingly, you can get a reward even if you do not manage to stop the opponent but only slow down his progress.
