Black Ops 6: Emergence Mission - Complete Walkthrough

The Emergence Mission in *Black Ops 6* stands as a pivotal moment in the acclaimed *Call of Duty* campaign, marking a significant shift in gameplay style. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough to help you navigate through this unique mission.

Finding the Security Desk in Black Ops 6 Emergence

As you begin the mission, you'll find yourself playing as Case, entering the Kentucky BioTech facility alongside Marshall. The facility is filled with toxic gases, necessitating the use of gas masks. Early on, an elevator malfunction sends you plummeting, shattering your gas mask and triggering a hallucination sequence during a cutscene. Once you regain control, explore the area until you encounter a locked door marked by a red light. Use the hatchet embedded in a nearby mannequin to pry the door open. Proceed through the door, turn right into a hallway, and exit through an open door to ascend the stairs in the main hall, where you'll find an elevator at the center.

Upon interacting with the elevator, you'll face hallucinatory zombies that you must dispatch using your hatchet. After clearing the area, a phone at the circular desk will ring, guiding you to the biotechnology room. Access requires four director's cards, each color-coded: Cognitive Research Facility (Red), Administration (Green), Joint Projects (Blue), and A.C.R. (Yellow). A map provided at the security console will lead you to the A.C.R card (Yellow).

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

From the security console, follow the map's direction to the left and straight ahead until you reach a yellow staircase on the left side of your screen. Ascend these stairs to reach the Director's office, where you'll solve a puzzle on the computer using the keywords "Access" and "Lift." Upon reaching the A.C.R room, eliminate the zombies and locate a mannequin holding the yellow card. This mannequin transforms into an abomination, a familiar foe from the *Black Ops 6* Zombies mode. Before engaging, search the area for armor plates, weapons, and crucially, the grappling hook necessary for mission progression.

Use tactical explosives like C4 or grenades found in the A.C.R room to swiftly defeat the abomination and its accompanying zombies. After the battle, retrieve the Yellow Card from the abomination's remains.

To exit the A.C.R room, equip the grappling hook and look up to find ledges to ascend back to the main facility. Head to the Administration Facility by grappling up from the security desk area. Upon arrival, answer the ringing phone and proceed to collect four documents, placing them in the file display area against the glass wall.

While searching for the documents, be wary of mannequins that mimic horror game elements, freezing when you turn to face them. Sprint to keep them at bay as you locate the documents: one on a desk in the corner, another near a round table on the left side, a third on a small table next to a noticeboard in the center, and the final one in the cafe near a sink. Once all documents are in place, a red mannequin will attack, which you must subdue using the grappling hook. After several hits, it transforms into a Mangler Zombie, and defeating it will yield the Green Card.

Finding the Blue Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

From the Administration Wing balcony, grapple across to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the ringing phone and explore the area until you find camera stands around a glass chamber, leading you to the Blue Card. Attempting to take it will spawn a mimic, which you must eliminate. The mimic can disappear, so shoot moving objects to lure it out and defeat it to secure the Blue Card.

Finding the Red Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Return to the security console and head to the East Wing, following the red carpets to a series of stairs. You'll enter a room with water and a console, where a Mangler is trapped. Interact with the console to reveal the Red Card held by the Mangler. Use the grappling hook to reach the upper area, jump into the pool, and swim through a red tunnel to the other side. Climb the ladders, clear the zombies, and use a blacklight to unlock a door with a unique code.

Interact with the console in the opposite room to start a 25-second timer. Quickly turn the drain switches: one in the starting room, another in the newly unlocked room, and the final one accessible via the grappling hook in the area you swam through. After draining the water, follow the Mangler's escape path, fight off the zombies, and claim the Red Card.

Defeating the Disciple in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Return to the security desk and insert all four cards into the system to open the elevator. Clear any zombies as you enter and ascend to the top floor, where your screen will go black, leaving only a red phone visible. Answering it triggers a cinematic leading to the BioTech room, where you'll face numerous zombies and a Disciple. After defeating them, another cinematic reveals your character's death by zombies, which turns out to be a hallucination. Marshall and Sev help you snap out of it, concluding the mission.

This detailed guide should help you successfully navigate the *Black Ops 6* Emergence mission, ensuring you can enjoy the unique gameplay and thrilling narrative it offers.
