- Cole: "My body ... absorbs their energy."

Blast Shards, referred to by Lucy Kuo as Rayacite, are highly charged pieces of earth, irradiated by Ray Field Radiation. There are currently over 655 known Blast Shards, 350 were found in Empire City[1] and 305 were found in New Marais, not to mention the countless amount found by other people.[2]

Empire City 
Edit
In Empire City over 350 Blast Shards were created and scattered all over the city during the Ray Sphere blast. Cole MacGrath finds them as he hunts the city for the Ray Sphere, using Radar Pulse to locate them on his GPS. Collecting Blast Shards awarded Cole with additional Battery Cores.[1]
Added by SuSpence95Various factions of the three gangs as well as the citizens of Empire City collected Blast Shards for their own reasons. By helping citizens, Cole was occasionally awarded with Blast Shards. Sometimes, after having defeated an enemy, Cole would read their mind and discover a memory of a location with a package containing Blast Shards, which he could collect.[1]
New MaraisEdit
- Kuo: "I spotted some Rayacite fragments near the tower."
- Cole: "Ray-a-what?"
- Kuo: "You know, those irradiated chunks of earth during Ray Sphere testing? Wolfe seemed to think you knew what to do with them."
- Cole: "Oh...yeah. Uh, yeah, we called them Blast Shards."
- —Cole and Kuo, during one of the former's missions.
Added by AlareiksAfter an explosion in Dr. Sebastian Wolfe's lab, over 305 Blast Shards were scattered in New Marais. Cole managed to retrieve his first three shards during a mission for Kuo. As in Empire City, Cole can opt to collect those Blast Shards, to gain additional Battery Cores. Whereas Cole could locate them by himself, he could also steal them from citizens or collect them from disarmed Blast Shard bombs. Just as in Empire City, Cole could find pictures of packages also containing Blast Shards, from defeated enemies.[2]
Trivia Edit
- The Blast Shards in Empire City had a tone of blue,[1] whereas those in New Marais had a tone of purple.[2]
- Players could import their trophy data from inFamous, to inFamous 2. Having collected the specified percentage of Blast Shards would award Cole with either one or two additional Battery Cores.[2]
- Blast Shard related trophies refer only to shards found on the sides or tops of buildings and other structures. The shards collected (or not collected) as part of side missions do not count toward any of the trophies.[2]
- In inFamous 2, Cole's Radar Pulse ability can be enhanced in order to locate any Blast Shard, no matter how far away they are.
- Blast Shards are never mentioned story-wise in inFamous,[1] but in inFamous 2 they are.[2]
- It is never explained why the normal citizens of Empire City collect the shards, as Cole only collects them to improve his powers.[2] However, since they can power bombs, it is possible that the ray-field energy can be used to power other things, and would thus be useful in places in Empire City where the power was out.
- A Militia began making bombs made out of Blast Shards. In a Side Mission, Cole may either kill him (Evil action) or capture him (good action).[2]
- Regardless of what Cole does, the bombs will still continue to appear.[2]
- After collecting all Blast Shards, the Blast Shard bombs will stop appearing, so will citizens holding Blast Shards.[2]
- Draining a Blast Shard Bomb to disarm it resembles the way you drain the bombs during The Price in InFamous.
