Mastering the Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission: A Comprehensive Guide

The Emergence mission in Black Ops 6, a pivotal point in the acclaimed Call of Duty campaign, presents a significant departure from traditional gameplay. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough.

Navigating the Kentucky BioTech Facility

The mission begins with Case and Marshall inside a Kentucky BioTech facility, navigating a toxic environment requiring gas masks. An elevator malfunction leads to a gas mask breach and subsequent hallucinations. Upon regaining control, locate a locked red-lit door. Use a hatchet found on a mannequin to force it open. Proceed through the hallway, up the stairs, and to a central elevator.

Activating the elevator triggers a zombie encounter (hallucination-induced). Eliminate them with the hatchet. A phone call at the circular desk directs you to the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow). You initially receive a map to the Yellow card.

Acquiring the Yellow Card and Grappling Hook

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

A mannequin holding the Yellow card transforms into an abomination. Before engaging, collect armor, weapons, and the crucial grappling hook from the surrounding area. Use explosives (C4 or grenades) to efficiently eliminate the abomination and its zombie horde. Retrieve the Yellow Card.

Securing the Green Card

Use the grappling hook to ascend from the A.C.R. room. Locate the grappling point to the left of the elevator (facing from the security desk) to reach the Administration Facility. Answer the ringing phone.

Find four documents and place them in the file display area. Mannequins will pursue; maintain distance by sprinting. Document locations: a desk in the corner, near a round table, on a small central table, and in the cafe near a sink. Defeat the resulting Mangler Zombie to obtain the Green Card.

Obtaining the Blue Card

Grapple across from the Administration balcony to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the phone. Locate the glass chamber and the Blue Card. Eliminate the spawned Mimic (it disappears; shoot moving objects to reveal it).

Retrieving the Red Card

Proceed to the East Wing (marked on the initial map). Navigate the red carpets and stairs 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. Swim through the red tunnel behind the Mangler and climb the ladders. Eliminate zombies and unlock the door using the blacklight code. Activate the timer and turn all drain switches within 25 seconds. Defeat the Mangler and its horde to obtain the Red Card.

Confronting the Disciple

Insert all four cards into the security desk. Ride the elevator to the top floor. Answer the red phone. Eliminate the zombies and the Disciple in the ensuing encounter. The mission concludes with a final cinematic.
