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

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Fragments are found during missions throughout the Origin System.
  2. 2
    Most Fragments can be scanned using a Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner.
  3. 3
    Scanning a Fragment unlocks artwork in the Codex's Universe tab, which can also be used as Orbiter decoration.
  4. 4
    Each unlocked image has accompanying lore text.
  5. 5
    A hidden point on the artwork, indicated by white noise that gets louder as you approach, unlocks a short audio transmission with additional lore when hovered over.
  6. 6
    Some Fragments require direct interaction (default key 'X') instead of scanning.
  7. 7
    Different types of Fragments exist, such as Cephalon Fragments, Thousand-Year Fish Fragments, Glass Shard Fragments, and more, each contributing to different lore aspects.
  8. 8
    Cephalon Fragments, for example, are visualized as hovering blue data blocks and reveal lore about the Origin System's factions, characters, and planets, with their decrypted transmissions detailing Ordis' past.
Tips
  • Use loot radar mods to help locate Fragments on your mini-map, where they appear as a blue quadruple diamond.
  • Cephalon Fragments can appear once per mission in random locations, but are excluded from Defense, Interception, and Archwing missions.
  • Pay attention to audio cues (white noise) to find the interactive point for audio transmissions.
