Discover Warframe Fragments across the Origin System. Learn how to find and scan them to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions about the game's universe.
Fragments are hidden items found throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Collecting them unlocks written and audiovisual lore that expands upon the game's setting.
Mechanics:
Most Fragments can be scanned using a Codex or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab, which can be used as Orbiter decorations and comes with accompanying lore. A hidden point on each image, when hovered over with the cursor, unlocks a short audio transmission with additional lore. An audio clue of white noise, which gets louder as the cursor approaches the point, helps locate this spot.
Other types of Fragments require players to simply interact with them (default X) to acquire.

These Fragments are ordered by their release date.
Cephalon Fragments:
Cephalon Fragments are data fragments found hidden in rooms during missions, visualized as hovering blue data blocks. With the exception of the Kuva Fortress, each navigable planet, moon, or location (including the Void and Deimos) will have two to three unlockable fragments, each requiring between 3 and 7 scans to complete.
During missions, the Cephalon Fragment will appear on the mini-map as a blue quadruple diamond if loot radar mods are used. Scanning a fragment unlocks a portion of the associated artwork. Cephalon Fragments may be found up to once per mission and will spawn in a random place on most maps, excluding Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions. They reveal information about various aspects of the Origin System, such as Factions, Characters, and Planets. Decrypting these fragments reveals Ordis' Past, narrated by Ordis.
