How to unlock the The People's Hero achievement in Destiny 2 - Definitive Guide
Anybody who played the original Destiny will be familiar with public events. These are challenges which appear on your map at specific time intervals. In Destiny 2 they are much easier to find as they are marked on your map a few minutes in advance, along with the amount of time until they begin.
Simply approch the flag, and hold x to join the public event. You will be given certain tasks, such as defending a point, killing specific enemies etc. In Destiny 2, you can trigger a much harder "heroic" version of these events by performing certain actions.
Ill try to update this as much as possible as and when heroic events are discovered, but there is a simple one at the very beginning of the game. Directly outside the church where Devrim is located in the EDZ, a public event spawns to kill fallen extractors who are mining glimmer. A glimmer drill appears with waves of enemies. Instead of killing the enemies, destroy the small drilling machines around the area. They glow bright blue, are knee hieght and should be fairly obvious. Doing this will cause the message "heroic event started" to appear, and change your objective to defending the glimmer pile. You will have to fight several waves of fallen and cabal while you wait for the glimmer to transmat, including a mini boss. If you die, you will respawn in the church a few seconds later to rejoin the action.
There is a public event on titan in which you have to destroy a fallen walker. To access the heroic version of this event, simply destroy a leg. This will cause the walker to drop three arc orbs, which must be placed into containers around the event which hold scorch canons. There are a total of 6 orbs required, meaning you will have to down the walker twice and place all 6 orbs before destroying it. Activating the heroic event spawns a second walker. You must defeat both within the time limit given.
There is an event in which you have to capture a cabal drill. During this event, a thresher ship will fly around the area. It usually appears when you are 40% complete, then again at 80%. Simply destroy this ship to spawn a large boss and activate the heroic version.
On Nessus there is a public event to defend a conflux from vex sacrifice. Around the area will be a couple of sync plates. They are round circles on the floor which fill with light as you stand on them, and should look familiar to anybody who played the vault of glass raid in Destiny 1. You have to stand inside these plates to capture them, and any vex walking onto the plate will stop your capture. After you have taken both, the event will become heroic. The goal remains the same - stop vex sacrifices - but the enemies become more powerful.
Upon completion, a reward chest will appear, and your achievement should pop a few seconds after collecting your loot. In destiny 2 any participation in a public event grants some reward, but it is important to note that for this achievement you MUST fully beat the event.

Can confirm the walker method as this is how I got the achievement :)

There are public events where you have to kill a giant Servitor e.g. Firebase Hades on Earth.
During the fight there will be smaller servitors which will be powering the big one - you need to kill all 3 for the heroic event to trigger.

Refer to In A Flash (80G) for more information.
Heroic public events require the completion of a specific task during a regular public event. Events can be found on the map in either the EDZ, Titan, Nessus, or Io. There will be a five minute timer associated with the icon on the map. The requirements for each event type are listed below.
- Ether Resupply (EDZ, Nessus, Europa): Kill all of the regular servitors that spawn in. Most will spawn in one at a time, but there will be a group of three. Once the Heroic begins, there will be stronger enemies.
- Glimmer Extraction (EDZ, Nessus, The Tangled Shore, Europa) Destroy the small glimmer extractor on the ground before killing all four of the marked Fallen. You must do this at each of the three extraction sites. The Heroic version requires you to defend a pile of glimmer while a counter goes up to 100.
- Cabal Excavation (EDZ, Nessus): Around the counter reaches 50%, a Thresher ship will spawn in. Shoot down the Thresher. If you don't get it on the first try, it will reappear periodically. This will spawn in a major Cabal and you will have to defeat him.
- Weapons Exchange (EDZ, Moon) While fighting the tank, after shooting off one of the leg plates, exposing its neck, the tank will drop some arc charges. Take the charges to each of the six shield generators to disable them. You will need six charges and three drop each time you destroy one of the tank’s leg plates. This will begin the Heroic version that spawns in a second tank.
- Witches’ Ritual (Moon): One player must stand in each of the two circles on the floor. This will light up some Hive runes and expose crystals. To trigger the Heroic, you will need to destroy both crystals. A Hive champion will come out of the portal. Killing it completes the event.
- Injection Rig (EDZ, Nessus) After killing the first two Psions, heat vents will open on the top or bottom of the machine and you will see a message to evacuate the dome. Don’t and instead shoot the vents until they close, vents at the top first, then the middle, and then near the ground. Repeat this process until all vents are smoking. This will spawn a Cabal major.
- Spire Integration (Nessus, Europa): Remember the Vault of Glass? There are three plates around the area that people will need to stand in and hold to raise the counter to 100. Capturing all three and not allowing any Vex to sacrifice will spawn in Vex majors.
- Taken Blight (EDZ, The Dreaming City): Run into the blight’s dome to receive a modifier called “Blight Receding.” This will allow you to damage the blight for a short period of time. Run into and out of the dome enough times to destroy the central blight. Killing the Blightmaker completes the Heroic.
- Warsat (Moon, Cosmodrome): Scan the Warsat to begin, but pay attention to the counter at the bottom of the screen. At 25%, 50%, and 75%, a pair of Wizards will spawn. You will need to kill both and then the Shrieker that opens up for each one. If you go too far above 80%, the Shriekers will close and you will not be able to complete the Heroic version.
- Cyro-Pod (The Tangled Shore) - After the main enemy has escaped from the pod, shoot him until approximately 1/3 of his health is gone. There will be a cryo field around the pod that will hurt you now. Stand on something safe and shoot the vents that are smoking on the sides of the pod until a ball is exposed. Pick up the ball and throw it at the boss. After you hit the boss with three balls, he will freeze. Stand in the capture point around him to complete the event.
- Ether Harvest (The Tangled Shore, The Dreaming City) - After defeating the scorn chieftan, white orbs will fly towards the object in the center of the event. Destroy the white orbs for each of the three chieftans. This will spawn a large boss that you will need to kill.
- Rift Generator (The Dreaming City) - There are three giant Taken blights that spawn on each side that need to be destroyed. There are two pillars that will light up on the side that the Scorn will approach from. The blights appear on the sides that are not lit up. Destroy all three, then the three wizards, and in the Ascendant Plan, kill all wizards and then the boss.
- Crux Convergence (Europa) - Shoot the drones that are scanning the pyramid splinter at all three locations.

On open maps of periodicals, open events take place, the counter until the next one starts is available on the map. To obtain this trophy, you need to start such an event, and then start and complete the heroic version of it. To trigger the heroic version of the event, you need to fulfill a special condition during the event, which is different for each type of event, the list of conditions is below

Always check before starting an Open Event to make sure there are other Guardians around the area ready to join. Since you can complete the event alone, but you definitely won’t get a heroic for it: either you won’t be able to fulfill the conditions of the heroic, or you won’t have enough time to complete the task. From experience, most of the Guardians are near planetary NPCs who give quests, etc. For example, on Nessus it is best to farm public areas near the Neuromatrix.
And there is no particular point in receiving 1 coin for a non-heroic Open Event - it can be found much faster in the nearest chest. Unless you close the weekly Hot Spot, of course: there interest goes towards any completion of the event. But for heroism they will give much more.

I forgot to add about another Public event - with bondages and a scorching dome.
This is one of the most difficult activations of the heroic mod.
After killing the first psion and activating the dome, you need to go inside the dome and shoot at the ventilation shafts that will open at the top. At the same time, there are mines on all sides and they need to be made timoy.
After killing the second psion, the mines will open from below and they will need to be destroyed in the same way.
The whole difficulty is that at this time the dome inflicts strong burning damage on you and there may not be enough damage to shoot all the mines.

Open events are those that are marked on the map with blue icons. They appear in the same places, on different planets, according to a timer. The heroic version needs to be activated in a special way, some events definitely have such a version.
I did it on Titan, not far from Sloan there is an event to destroy the walkers, it seems to be called “Destroy the Walkers”, these are these spider-like tanks (in case anyone doesn’t know). In a circle from the tank there are cannons covered with an energy shield, which requires energy spheres to open; when you shoot off one of the tank’s legs, it sits on its belly and dumps several energy spheres. To activate the heroic version of this event, you need to open all the energy shields before killing the first walker, when you open the last (third) a corresponding message will appear on the screen and even your ghost will say something on this topic. The second walker arrives, you need to kill them both within the timer and the achievement is yours

The easiest 2 options:
1) The open event "Glitter Mining", if I'm not mistaken, falls almost everywhere on the EDZ. It’s just that after each wave of mobs, something like small “capsules” will appear next to the glitter extraction devices, just kill 3 of them, 1 for each wave and start the heroic.
2) on the Tangled Shore, when a criminal comes out of the “Cryocapsule”, we remove 1/3 of his health and look at the capsule itself, steam will come out of the holes, and an electric current will pass on the floor, just shoot at these holes and a sphere falls from there, we throw 3 spheres at the boss and he freezes, thereby launching a heroic, sending the boss back to prison, BUT we don’t kill him. Voila, the trophy is yours.
