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 backstory.
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 history. They can be found in various locations and are often visualized as glowing data blocks or interactable objects.
Mechanics:
- Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner.
- Scanning unlocks artwork in the Codex's 'Universe' tab, which can also be used as Orbiter decorations.
- Each scanned image has a hidden point that, when hovered over with the cursor, unlocks an audio transmission with additional lore. A white noise clue indicates the proximity of this point.
- Other Fragment types require direct interaction (default key 'X').
Fragments:
- Cephalon Fragments: Found in missions across most planets and locations (excluding Kuva Fortress). They appear as hovering blue data blocks and reveal lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets. Decrypting them unlocks 'Ordis' Past'. They can appear on the mini-map with loot radar mods and are not found in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions. Each fragment requires 3-7 scans.
