Missions

Uncover the hidden lore of Warframe by finding and scanning Fragments. Learn about Cephalon, Fish, Glass, Ghoul, and more types of lore fragments scattered throughout the Origin System.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fragments are scattered throughout the Origin System and are found in various mission types.
  2. 2
    Most Fragments can be scanned using a Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner.
  3. 3
    Scanning a Fragment unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab, often with accompanying lore text.
  4. 4
    A hidden point on the unlocked artwork, when hovered over with the cursor, reveals a short audio transmission with additional lore. Audio clues (white noise) help locate this point.
  5. 5
    Some Fragments require direct interaction (default key 'X') instead of scanning.
  6. 6
    Fragments are categorized into types such as Cephalon, Fish, Glass, Ghoul, Revenant, Solaris United, Partnership, The Tenets, Duviri, Albrecht, Isleweaver, Somachord, and Frame Fighter.
  7. 7
    Cephalon Fragments are blue data blocks found in most planets, moons, and locations (except Kuva Fortress). They appear on the mini-map with loot radar mods and reveal lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets. Decrypting them reveals Ordis' Past.
  8. 8
    Specific mission types like Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions do not contain Fragments.
  9. 9
    Fragments can be found up to once per mission and spawn in random locations.
Tips
  • Use loot radar mods to easily spot Cephalon Fragments on your mini-map.
  • Listen for the increasing white noise to find the hidden interactive point on scanned artwork for audio transmissions.
  • Explore thoroughly in missions, as Fragments can be hidden in various nooks and crannies.
  • Check the Codex's Universe tab regularly to view unlocked artwork and read the lore.
