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.
Fragments are hidden collectibles scattered throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Scanning or interacting with these fragments unlocks artwork, lore entries, and audio transmissions that provide deeper insights into the game's universe, characters, and factions.
Mechanics:
Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner. This unlocks artwork in the Codex's 'Universe' tab, which can also be used as decorations on your Orbiter. Each piece of artwork has accompanying lore. Additionally, a hidden point on each image, when hovered over with the cursor, reveals a short audio transmission that narrates further lore. An audio clue (white noise that gets louder as you get closer) helps locate this point.
Other types of Fragments require direct interaction (default key 'X') to acquire.
