Master the Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission: A Comprehensive Guide

The Emergence mission in Black Ops 6 marks the campaign's halfway point and is a significant departure from typical gameplay. This guide provides a complete walkthrough.

Navigating the Kentucky BioTech Facility

The mission begins with Case and Marshall in a toxic-gas-filled facility, necessitating gas masks. An elevator malfunction leads to a gas mask breach and hallucinations. After the cutscene, you'll regain control.

Locate the locked red-lit door. Use the hatchet from the mannequin to force it open. Proceed through the hallway, up the stairs, and to the central elevator.

Activating the elevator triggers a zombie encounter (hallucinations). Defeat them with the hatchet. A phone call directs you to the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow). You'll receive a map to the Yellow card.

Acquiring the Yellow Card and Grappling Hook

Follow the map to a yellow staircase leading to the Director's office. Solve the computer puzzle ("Access" and "Lift"). More zombies await in the A.C.R. room.

After defeating the zombies, a mannequin holds the Yellow card. Approaching it summons an abomination and its zombie horde. Before engaging, collect armor plates, weapons, and the essential grappling hook.

Use tactical explosives (C4 or grenades) to quickly eliminate the abomination and its horde. Retrieve the Yellow Card.

Obtaining the Green Card

Use the grappling hook to ascend from the A.C.R. room. Next, acquire the Green Card in the Administration Facility.

Grapple to the Administration Facility. Answer the ringing phone. Find and place four documents in the file display area. Manequins will pursue you; keep moving to avoid them. Document locations: desk corner, left side near a round table, small center table, and cafe near a sink.

After placing the documents, grapple the red mannequin repeatedly until it transforms into a Mangler Zombie. Defeat it to obtain the Green Card.

Securing the Blue Card

Grapple across to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the phone. Locate the Blue Card in the glass chamber, triggering a Mimic encounter.

The Mimic disappears; shoot moving objects to reveal it. Defeat the Mimic to get the Blue Card.

Retrieving the Red Card

Go to the East Wing, following red carpets to a room with water, a console, and a Mangler. Interact with the console to reveal the Red Card.

Use the grappling hook to reach the upper area, jump into the pool, and swim through the red tunnel. Climb the ladders and clear the zombies. Unlock the door using the blacklight code.

Turn all drain switches within 25 seconds (one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one accessed via the grappling hook). After draining the water, follow the Mangler to retrieve the Red Card.

Confronting the Disciple

Return to the security desk and insert all four cards. Take the elevator to the top floor. Answer the red phone and engage the final battle against the Disciple and a horde of zombies. The mission concludes with a hallucinatory sequence.
