Syndicate Weapon Acquisition & Progression

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
    Fragments are found throughout the Origin System during missions.
  2. 2
    Most Fragments can be scanned using the Codex Scanner or Synthesis Scanner.
  3. 3
    Scanning a Fragment unlocks artwork in the Codex's 'Universe' tab, which can be used as Orbiter decoration.
  4. 4
    A hidden point on the unlocked image, indicated by white noise, reveals a short audio transmission with additional lore.
  5. 5
    Some Fragments require direct interaction (default 'X' key) instead of scanning.
  6. 6
    Fragments are categorized by their type and release date, including Cephalon, Fish, Glass, Ghoul, Revenant, Solaris United, Partnership, The Tenets, Duviri, Albrecht, Isleweaver, Somachord, and Frame Fighter Fragments.
  7. 7
    Cephalon Fragments are visualized as hovering blue data blocks and are found on most planets and locations (excluding Kuva Fortress). Each location has 2-3 fragments requiring 3-7 scans.
  8. 8
    These fragments reveal lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets, and decrypting them reveals 'Ordis' Past', narrated by Ordis.
  9. 9
    Fragments can appear on the mini-map as a blue quadruple diamond if loot radar mods are active.
  10. 10
    Fragments may spawn once per mission in a random location, but not in Defense, Interception, or Archwing missions.
Tips
  • Use loot radar mods to easily spot Fragments on your mini-map.
  • Listen for white noise to locate the hidden audio transmission point on unlocked images.
  • Explore thoroughly during missions, as Fragments can be found in various hidden spots.
