Discover how to find and scan various Fragments in Warframe to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that reveal the secrets of the Origin System and its characters.
Walkthrough
- 1Mechanics: Most Fragments can be scanned using a Codex or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the Codex's 'Universe' tab and accompanying lore. A hidden point on each image, indicated by white noise that gets louder when close, unlocks a short audio transmission with additional lore. Some Fragments require direct interaction (default X).
- 2Cephalon Fragments: These appear as hovering blue data blocks, often hidden in mission rooms. They are found on most planets, moons, and locations (including the Void and Deimos), with 2-3 fragments per location, requiring 3-7 scans each. They do not spawn in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions. They reveal lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them reveals 'Ordis' Past', narrated by Ordis.
- 3Earth Fragments: Lore discusses Earth's abandonment, mutated wildlife, and Grineer settlements. Ordis transmissions reveal his hidden existence, his search for identity, and his nature as a Cephalon.
- 4Venus Fragments: Lore describes Corpus industry in Venus's mountainous regions and their use of Orokin technologies. Ordis transmissions question his identity and forbidden nature as a thinking machine.
Tips
- Use loot radar mods to help locate Cephalon Fragments on the mini-map (they appear as blue quadruple diamonds).
- Listen for white noise to find the interactive point for audio transmissions on scanned artwork.
- Fragments can be found once per mission, spawning randomly on most mission types.
