How to Trigger the Heroic Warsat Down Public Event in Destiny 2
By Nicholas Barth ·
The Warsat Down public event was added to Destiny 2 as a part of the Warmind expansion, and we have all of the information you need to trigger the Heroic version of the public event to collect even better loot.
One feature that Destiny 2 introduced into the first person shooter franchise by Bungie was the ability for players to turn regular public events into heroic public events by completing certain tasks in the middle of the regular event, such as destroying an enemy aircraft flying by. While triggering the heroic version of a public event increased the challenge that Destiny 2 Guardians faced, it rewarded players with much better loot upon completion for their troubles.
With Mars being brought back into the fold with the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2, Bungie added a brand new public event to the world for Guardians to try their hand at in Warsat Down. With the goal of many Guardians being collecting as powerful and rare of weapons and gear as possible, we have found all of the information players will need to trigger the heroic version of the Warsat Down public event on Mars in order for them to have the best chance of accomplishing this mission.
The first step in activating the heroic version of Destiny 2's Warsat Down public event is locating the three closed Shriekers that will be found in the area around the red circle. This red circle is what players must stay within until the counter reaches 100 percent to complete the regular version of the event. During the public event, two Hive Wizards with yellow-bar health will appear in the area. Players must kill these two Hive Wizards, as that will cause a Shrieker to open and will give the Guardians an opening to destroy it. Once players have repeated this same process for the last two remaining sets of Hive Wizards and Shriekers, the heroic version of the Warsat Down public event will begin.
A Hive Orge will then spawn in as the heroic version's main challenge. Once you have defeated the Orge, all of the other enemies will vanish, and Guardians will be rewarded with a loot chest that will have a much higher chance of some exotic loot dropping. However, make sure to be wary of the counter as you do battle in Warsat Down, as you do not want to have it hit 100 percent before you are able to defeat the heroic event boss.
