Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission – Full Guide

The Emergence mission in *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* marks the halfway point in the acclaimed campaign, and it’s a significant departure from the series' typical gameplay. This guide will walk you through the entire mission.

Finding the Security Desk in Black Ops 6 Emergence

From the outset, the mission throws players into the deep end. Case and Marshall enter the Kentucky BioTech facility, immediately encountering toxic gas, necessitating gas masks. A malfunctioning elevator sends you plummeting, breaking your mask and triggering a hallucinatory sequence. You regain control after this chaotic cutscene.

Explore the crash site until you find a locked red-lit door. Use the hatchet embedded in a nearby mannequin to pry it open. Turn right down the hallway, exit through the open door, and ascend the stairs to the central elevator.

Using the elevator transforms the mannequins into zombies (thanks, toxic gas!). Eliminate them with your hatchet. A ringing phone at the circular desk will direct you to the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards: Cognitive Research Facility (Red), Administration (Green), Joint Projects (Blue), and A.C.R. (Yellow). You'll receive a map leading to the Yellow card.

Finding the Yellow Card and Grappling Hook in Black Ops 6 Emergence

From the security console, follow the map's directions to a yellow staircase on your left. At the top, in the Director's office, solve the computer puzzle ("Access" and "Lift"). More axe-wielding zombies await in the A.C.R. room.

After dispatching them, a mannequin holding the Yellow card will be highlighted. Approaching it transforms it into an abomination (familiar to Black Ops 6 Zombies players). Before engaging, collect armor plates, weapons, and the essential grappling hook from the surrounding area.

The abomination spawns more zombies; use tactical explosives (C4 or grenades) for efficient elimination. Claim the Yellow Card from its remains.

Finding the Green Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Use the grappling hook to reach higher ledges and escape the A.C.R. room. Next, acquire the Green Card from the Administration Facility.

From the security desk, grapple to a location to your left to reach the Administration Facility. Answer the ringing phone. You must find and place four documents in the file display area.

Mannequins will stalk you; they freeze when you turn around. Sprint to collect the documents: one on a corner desk, one near a round table, one on a small central table, and the final one in the cafe near a sink. After placing the documents, a red mannequin attacks. Repeatedly grapple it until it transforms into a Mangler Zombie, dropping the Green Card.

Finding the Blue Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Grapple across from the Administration balcony to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the phone. Locate camera stands around a glass chamber to find the Blue Card. Interacting with it spawns a Mimic; shoot moving objects to lure it out and eliminate it to obtain the Blue Card.

Finding the Red Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

From the security desk, follow the red carpets to the East Wing stairs. You'll reach a room with water, a console, and a stuck Mangler. Interacting with the console reveals the Red Card.

Use the grappling hook to reach the upper area, jump into the pool, and swim through a red tunnel. Climb the ladders, eliminate zombies, and use the blacklight to unlock a door. The visible number is unique to each player.

In the opposite room, interact with the console to start a 25-second timer. Turn all three drain switches: one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one reached via grappling hook and the tunnel.

After draining the water, follow the Mangler's escape route, battling it and a zombie horde to obtain the Red Card.

Defeating the Disciple in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Insert all four cards into the security desk. Take the elevator to the top floor. Answering the red phone triggers a cinematic leading to a battle with countless zombies and the Disciple in the BioTech room. This culminates in a hallucinatory death scene, revealing it was all a hallucination, concluding the mission.

This completes the *Black Ops 6* Emergence mission guide.
