The map is set within one of the many canyons on the surface of Installation 07. Set into the side of a high cliff, this canyon hosts two beam emitters, and various Forerunner nodes and beacons.[1][4]

Production notes
Cliff Schuldt was the level designer for Fragmentation.[6] Multiplayer designer Andrew Witts cited Valhalla from Halo 3 and its Halo 4 remake Ragnarok as influences for Fragmentation.[7]
The map was first shown unnamed in the A New Generation trailer,[5] and was eventually shown in more detail with hints to its setting in the Halo Infinite Multiplayer Overview trailer.[8] Finally, in a Canon Fodder post on Halo Waypoint, Fragmentation had its name revealed and further story details divulged.[1] The map is playable in the second Halo Infinite multiplayer preview.[6]
In Capture the Flag once a flag is captured the scoring team's beam emitter will fire.
