The Terminal Overload public event is one you can find on Destiny 2’s planet Neptune. It’s part of the Lightfall expansion, and you’ll be fighting multiple waves of enemies in various regions of the planet. There is a separate rotation for the activity, and you will need to follow it each time you participate in this activity. If you reach the end of each terminal overload phase, everyone who participated gains access to a chest. Here’s what you need to know about Terminal Overload Rotation in Destiny 2.
How Terminal Overload Rotation Works in Destiny 2
The terminal overload activity is divided into three parts. The first two parts present similar activities that you must perform. We highly recommend starting a public Terminal Overload event with other players. It is difficult to work on this task alone and you may feel overwhelmed by the number of tasks you have to complete.

Terminal overload Parts 1 and 2
The first two parts of the Terminal Overload Public Activity are the same and have four different sections that you must complete before the timer expires. If you don’t make it to the end of the activity when the timer runs out, the Terminal Overload activity immediately goes to the next phase and you miss a chest.

The first section has you defeating fighters until you reach 100%. Several cabals will appear during this time and you must eliminate them. After doing this, the second part puts you on a Vex plate at a set waypoint. You need to defend this plate from approaching Vex enemies, mostly Harpies. You and your fireteam will need to stay at the plate until you reach 100%.
Once you’ve completed this section, you’ll need to defeat a specific Shiny Vex Minotaur that spawns and destroy the three Vex Nodes that spawned nearby. Shiny minotaurs drop Arc Cranium devices that you can use on these nodes to destroy them. Once these are destroyed, a boss level Minotaur and you will need to eliminate them.

After that, the final activity will vary. We’ve had instances where we had to take down a giant Cabal boss, and other times we had to search the battlefield to stop the Psions from launching airstrikes. You will have to adapt to your current goal.
Terminal overload part 3
The last part of the terminal overload activity is not timed. This is where you will face the final boss of this area, Sizmic, the Net-Desecrator. You’ll need to stop this boss from hacking into the Neomuna Network and take down a Shiny Cabal Guard that should drop a Shield Breaker Aura. Stand in this aura when you first fight Sizmic to lower their shield and take them out.
After Sizmic is destroyed, a final boss will appear. Its health will be divided into three parts, and when you reach each section of health, a shield will protect it and you will have to destroy various nodes that spawn nearby before you can start chasing it again.

After defeating the final boss, two Terminal Overload chests appear. Anyone will be able to access at least one of these chests, but another chest requires a Terminal Overload Key, and this one usually has better Public Event rewards.
