Archetypes

Uncover the hidden lore of Warframe by finding and scanning Fragments scattered across the Origin System. Unlock artwork and audio transmissions to piece together the universe's secrets.

Fragments are hidden items found throughout the Origin System in Warframe. Collecting and scanning these fragments unlocks written and audiovisual lore that expands upon the game's setting. Most fragments can be scanned using the Codex or Synthesis Scanner, revealing artwork and lore entries in the Codex's Universe tab. These unlocked images can also be used as decorations on the Orbiter. Some fragments also contain hidden points that, when hovered over with the cursor, unlock short audio transmissions with additional lore, indicated by a subtle white noise clue that intensifies as the cursor nears the point. Other fragment types require direct interaction to collect.

There are various types of Fragments, including:

• Cephalon Fragments: Data blocks found during missions, revealing lore about the Origin System, Factions, Characters, and Planets. Decrypting these unlocks parts of Ordis' Past.
• Thousand-Year Fish Fragments
• Glass Shard Fragments
• Encrypted Journal Fragments
• Nakak Memory Fragments
• Fortuna Fragments
• Partnership Fragments (Corpus Gas City)
• The Tenets (Corpus Ship)
• Lost Islands of Duviri Fragments

Additionally, Prex Cards can be found, which are collectible items.
