Gallons are the more common currency in Steamworld Heist 2 and are used to buy new ship parts or gear for your crew. While these are useful upgrades, bigger more substantial upgrades are purchased with Fragments, which are much less common to come across.

Your number of fragments can be seen in the top right of the screen, represented by the pink gem icon. Early on, Fragments may seem difficult to find, but they are farmable if you know what to do.

How To Get Fragments In Steamworld Heist 2

Like all types of currencies in Steamworld Heist 2; Fragments can be earned in a few different ways:

Method

Explanation

Finding Them In Bars

While very uncommon, Fragments can be found in bars if that bar has a Fragment icon next to the name. The chest of Fragments will be hidden and will take some exploration to find.

Reputation Rewards

When turning in Reputation at the end of the day, some of the rewards can be Fragments.

Purchasing Them

While rare, Reputation can be purchased at some stores for Gallons, though the cost is usually high for the number of Fragments purchased.

Completing Missions

The icon next to a mission name will be the reward for finishing the quest for the first time. Some missions will have the Fragment icon, and they will be rewarded for the first time the mission is completed, but can't be farmed.

Mission Loot

While on a mission, bags of loot can be picked up by standing on them. These bags of loot have a chance of giving Fragments, and this method can be farmed. Missions can be repeated, and the loot found from the bags always has a chance of giving Fragments, though it's not always a guarantee.

What Are Fragments Used For In Steamworld Heist 2

Fragments only have a few uses, but their upgrades go a long way compared to those purchased with Gallons. While in your sub, in the room just to the left of the main room, will be the Sub Upgrade menu, which uses Fragments. These upgrades offer larger and more lasting upgrades, such as increasing the number of Gallons you get by 10% across the board.

There is also the Personal Upgrade Terminal, which can be purchased to give you the ability to purchase the special skills of each crew member, on top of the skills from their skill tree. The Personal Upgrade Terminal can be found in the room below the Sub Upgrade board, and every crew member will have a Personal Upgrade that can be purchased and used right when they are hired.
