Essential Early Game Progression — Warframe Guide

Scanning Fragments: Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab, which can also be used as Orbiter decorations.

Audio Lore: Each unlocked image has a hidden point that, when hovered over with the cursor, reveals a short audio transmission with additional lore. White noise serves as an audio clue, growing louder as the cursor approaches the point.

Interaction Fragments: Some Fragments do not require scanning and can be acquired by interacting with them (default key: X).

Cephalon Fragments: These appear as hovering blue data blocks, often found in rooms during missions. They are typically located on planets, moons, and other locations like the Void and Deimos (excluding the Kuva Fortress). Each location has 2-3 fragments, requiring 3-7 scans. They reveal lore about Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them unveils Ordis' Past. They do not spawn in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions.

Fragment Types: The game features various types of Fragments including Cephalon, Thousand-Year Fish, Glass Shard, Encrypted Journal, Nakak Memory, Fortuna, Partnership (Corpus Gas City), The Tenets (Corpus Ship), Lost Islands of Duviri, Albrecht's Notes, Isleweaver, Somachord, and Frame Fighter Fragments.
