Advanced Modding: Corrupted Mods & Rivens

Unlock the secrets of Warframe's advanced modding system. Learn how to acquire, manage, and utilize Corrupted Mods and Riven Mods to optimize your builds and dominate the Origin System.

This section delves into the advanced modding mechanics of Warframe, focusing on Corrupted Mods and Riven Mods. These powerful items can significantly alter your Warframe and weapon capabilities, but require specific knowledge to obtain and use effectively.

Mechanics:

  • Fragments are collectible lore items found throughout the Origin System.
  • Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex or Synthesis Scanner, unlocking artwork and lore in the Codex's Universe tab.
  • Scanning a Fragment also reveals a hidden point that, when hovered over, unlocks an audio transmission with additional lore.
  • Some Fragments require direct interaction (default X) to acquire.

Fragments:

Fragments are categorized by their origin and type, with many detailed in dedicated sub-pages. The following are some examples:

  • Cephalon Fragments: Found in missions, visualized as hovering blue data blocks. They reveal lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them reveals Ordis' Past. They appear on the mini-map with loot radar mods and can be found once per mission, except in Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions. Each planet/location has 2-3 fragments requiring 3-7 scans.
  • Thousand-Year Fish Fragments
  • Glass Shard Fragments
  • Encrypted Journal Fragments
  • Nakak Memory Fragments
  • Fortuna Fragments
  • Partnership Fragments (Corpus Gas City)
  • The Tenets (Corpus Ship)
  • Lost Islands of Duviri Fragments
  • Albrecht's Notes
  • Isleweaver Fragments
  • Somachord Fragments
  • Frame Fighter Fragments

Prex Cards: Special collectible items.

Tips
  • Use loot radar mods to easily locate Cephalon Fragments on your mini-map.
  • Listen for audio clues (white noise) to find hidden points on Fragment artwork.
  • Fragments provide valuable lore that enriches the Warframe universe.
