My swarmmate is trying to unlock phobos junction by scanning a cephalon fragment on mars, but they just aren’t spawning. And I know they aren’t spawning, because I have three stacking loot radar mods equipped and I can’t find them. I have a personal quarters segment and am liable to find somachord fragments, but we aren’t finding those either. I do have one song from Mars. Is my presence the reason fragments aren’t spawning? Would they be spawning if she just did the missions alone?
EDIT: She looked on her own and found one real quick. WTF?
They somewhat recently “reworked” Cephalon Fragments/Somachords/frame fighter to make them less visible if you’ve already completed them. If you’ve already scanned them, they won’t show up on your map* and will appear translucent.
On higher level missions (planets that are (+25) I find Somachords/Cephalon Fragments start to show up on the map again even if they’ve already been completed for that planet.
Just for completeness, here’s an example of the scanned versions on a Jupiter mission which do have working mini-map icons:
Cephalon Fragment
SomachordAh, I see DE is committed to their goal of making it harder for new players to reach the second dream. Jeepers creepers, guys.
