Discover how to find and scan Fragments in Warframe to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that expand the game's rich universe and character backstories.
Fragments are collectible items scattered throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Finding and scanning these fragments unlocks hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that provide deeper insights into the game's setting, characters, and factions.
Mechanics:
Most Fragments can be scanned using a Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This process unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab, which can also be used as decorations on the Orbiter. Each unlocked image comes with accompanying lore. Additionally, a hidden point on each image, when hovered over with the cursor, reveals a short audio transmission that narrates further lore. An audio clue, like white noise that intensifies as you get closer, helps locate this point.
Other types of Fragments require simple interaction (default key 'X') to acquire.
