General Tips & Tricks

Discover how to find and scan Warframe Fragments to unlock hidden lore and audiovisual content. Learn about Cephalon, Fish, Glass, and more Fragment types.

Fragments are hidden items scattered throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Collecting them unlocks written and audiovisual lore that enriches 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 come 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 (white noise that gets louder as you get closer) helps locate this point. Other Fragment types require direct interaction (default X key) to acquire.

Fragments:

These Fragments are categorized and ordered by their release date:

• Cephalon Fragments: Found in rooms during missions, visualized as hovering blue data blocks. They usually require 3-7 scans. They can appear on the mini-map as a blue quadruple diamond with loot radar mods. They do not spawn in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions. They reveal lore about the Origin System's factions, characters, and planets, and decrypting them reveals Ordis' Past.
