Discover how to find and scan Fragments in Warframe to unlock hidden lore, artwork, and audio transmissions that flesh out the Origin System's rich narrative.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Scanning Fragments: Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the 'Universe' tab of your Codex, accompanied by lore text.
  2. 2
    Audio Lore: Within the unlocked artwork, there's a hidden point that, when hovered over with your cursor, reveals a short audio transmission with additional lore. White noise will guide you to this point.
  3. 3
    Interaction Fragments: Some Fragments do not require scanning and can be acquired by simply interacting with them (default key 'X').
  4. 4
    Fragment Types: Fragments are categorized by their origin and content, including Cephalon, Fish, Glass, Ghoul, Revenant, Solaris United, Partnership, The Tenets, Duviri, Albrecht, Isleweaver, Somachord, and Frame Fighter fragments.
  5. 5
    Locations: Fragments are found throughout various missions and locations in the Origin System, often hidden within rooms. Specific fragment types are tied to particular planets, regions, or events.
  6. 6
    Mini-map Indicator: When using loot radar mods, Cephalon Fragments appear as a blue quadruple diamond on the mini-map if they are within range.
  7. 7
    Mission Restrictions: Cephalon Fragments do not spawn in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions.
  8. 8
    Lore Content: Decrypting fragments can reveal information about Factions, Characters, Planets, and specific narratives like Ordis' Past.
Tips
  • Keep an eye out for hovering blue data blocks, which often indicate a Cephalon Fragment.
  • Listen for subtle audio cues that might lead you to hidden lore points within scanned artwork.
  • Check the 'Universe' tab in your Codex regularly to review unlocked artwork and lore.
  • Be aware that some fragments are tied to specific questlines or events and may only be accessible during those times.
