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' usual gameplay. This guide will walk you through the entire mission.

Finding the Security Desk in Black Ops 6 Emergence

The mission begins with Case and Marshall entering a Kentucky BioTech facility filled with toxic gas, necessitating gas masks. Their elevator malfunctions, plunging them to the bottom and breaking Case's mask, triggering hallucinations. The cutscene ends with you regaining control.

Explore the area until you find a locked red-lit door. Use the hatchet embedded in a nearby mannequin to pry it open. Turn right, proceed down the hallway, and exit through the open door. Ascend the stairs in the main hall to find the elevator.

Using the elevator activates the mannequins, transforming them into zombies. Eliminate them with your hatchet. A ringing phone at the circular desk provides instructions to locate the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards (Red, Green, Blue, 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 (left). At the top, you'll find the Director's office. Solve the computer puzzle ("Access" and "Lift") to access the A.C.R. room, where more axe-wielding zombies await.

After clearing the room, a mannequin holding the Yellow card is highlighted. Approaching it transforms it into an abomination. Before engaging, collect armor plates, weapons, and the essential grappling hook from the surrounding area.

The abomination spawns additional zombies. Use tactical explosives (C4 or grenades) to eliminate them efficiently. Once the abomination is defeated, retrieve the Yellow card.

Finding the Green Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Use the grappling hook to reach higher ledges and return to the main facility. Next, acquire the Green card from the Administration Facility.

From the security desk, grapple to the left to reach the Administration Facility. Answer the ringing phone and locate four documents to place in the file display area.

Mannequins will pursue you; however, they freeze when you turn. Sprint to maintain distance while collecting the documents (one on a corner desk, one near a round table, one on a small center table, and one in the cafe). After placing the documents, a red mannequin attacks; subdue it repeatedly with the grappling hook 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 ringing phone, then locate the glass chamber surrounded by camera stands. Interacting with the Blue card spawns a Mimic.

The Mimic can disappear; shoot moving objects to force it to reappear. After defeating it, collect the Blue card and return to the main area for the Red card.

Finding the Red Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

From the security desk, follow the red carpets in the East Wing to a room with water, a console, and a Mangler. Interacting with the console reveals the Red card, held by the Mangler.

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

In the opposite room, activate the timer and turn all drain switches within 25 seconds (one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one accessed via grappling hook). After draining the water, follow the Mangler's escape route to fight it and its zombie horde, obtaining the Red card.

Defeating the Disciple in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Return to the security desk and insert all four cards. Take the elevator to the top floor. A cinematic leads to the BioTech room, where you encounter numerous zombies and the Disciple. Defeating them triggers a final cinematic, revealing the previous events as a hallucination.

This concludes the Emergence mission guide for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
