Discover how to find and scan Fragments in Warframe to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that reveal the Origin System's secrets.
Fragments are hidden collectibles scattered throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Scanning or interacting with them unlocks artwork and audio transmissions that provide deeper insight into the game's lore, characters, and locations.
Mechanics:
Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This process unlocks artwork in the Codex's 'Universe' tab, which can also be used as Orbiter decorations and come with accompanying lore. A hidden point on each image, indicated by white noise that gets louder as you approach, unlocks a short audio transmission with additional lore. Other Fragment types require direct interaction (default key 'X').
Types of Fragments:
- Cephalon Fragments: Hovering blue data blocks found in missions. They reveal lore about Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them unveils Ordis' Past. They appear on the mini-map with loot radar mods as a blue quadruple diamond and can be found once per mission (excluding Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions).
