Partition is a fast-paced endgame weekly activity available after completing the Bluejay quest, which is part of the Hall of Heroes questline after the Destiny 2: Lightfall campaign.

Even though you get access to Partition after that quest, you cannot reenter the activity until you complete the Weekly Partition Challenge bounty from Nimbus. The bounty asks for eight Shellcode Fragments that drop from Vex Incursion Zone enemies--the zone is marked on the Neomuna map--and Polymorphic Engine from the Terminal Overload key chest. These keys have a chance to randomly drop from Incursion Zone public events, patrols, and looting chests--including the one at the end of the Terminal Overload activity--but doing the Terminal Overload Key bounty for Nimbus, made available at Reputation Rank 12, is a reliable method.

Partition is split into two parts--increasingly tough Sparrow racing sections, and platforms where you fight enemies--but the primary goal is to defuse charges before they detonate. Although the bombs near the Vex Confluxes sit behind the hoard of enemies, you can either defeat enemies to buy you more time or carefully make your way around them and defuse the bomb before the timer runs out.
The boss fight takes place in a confined arena with non-stop incoming damage, which requires you to dodge every few seconds, and smaller enemies. The fight alternates between dealing damage to Vraxus, Shadow Legion Saboteur, and timed Sparrow racing to defuse nearby charges.
When you reach the Wyvern boss Adytum, Invoilable Mind, you'll have to throw Logic Bombs from the Sentinals to take down its shield and deal damage as it slowly makes its way through the narrow hallway to the final arena. The final arena is an enclosed area with the shielded boss and several other Vex enemies spawning around the area, requiring you to move around to avoid the Wyvern and defeat the rest of the Vex.
The main objective is to defeat Databank Courier Cabal, then throw the Data Bank cube at Sam as they move around the arena. In the boss arena, you need to defeat the enemies spawning from the outer portals and deal damage to the boss, Haliekron, Nexus Overlord. Next, get additional Data Banks for Sam from the Databank Couriers that enter from the center portals to move on to the next damage phase.
