Mastering the Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission: A Comprehensive Guide
The Emergence mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 marks the campaign's midpoint and presents a significant departure from the series' typical gameplay. This guide provides a complete walkthrough.
Navigating the Kentucky BioTech Facility
The mission begins with Case and Marshall entering a Kentucky BioTech facility filled with toxic gas, necessitating gas masks. An elevator malfunction leads to a fall, gas mask breakage, and hallucinations. The player regains control after a cutscene.
Locating the Security Desk
Explore the crash site until you find a locked red-lit door. Use a hatchet (found on a mannequin) to break it open. Proceed through the hallway, up the stairs, and to the central elevator. Activating the elevator triggers a zombie transformation of the mannequins. Eliminate them with the hatchet. A phone call from the circular desk directs you to the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow). You'll receive a map to the Yellow card.
Obtaining the Yellow Card and Grappling Hook
From the security console, follow the map to a yellow staircase. Solve the computer puzzle in the Director's office (answers: "Access" and "Lift"). Eliminate more zombies in the A.C.R. room. A mannequin holding the Yellow card transforms into an abomination. Before engaging, gather armor plates, weapons, and the crucial grappling hook.
Use explosives (C4 or grenades) to quickly eliminate the abomination and its zombie horde. Retrieve the Yellow Card from its remains.
Acquiring the Green Card
Use the grappling hook to reach higher ground from the A.C.R. room. Next, obtain the Green Card in the Administration Facility. Grapple to the Administration Facility from the security desk. Answer the ringing phone. Locate four documents and place them in the file display area. Mannequins will pursue; sprint to maintain distance. Document locations: one on a corner desk, one near a round table, one on a central table near a noticeboard, and one in the cafe near a sink. After placing the documents, grapple the attacking 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. Find the glass chamber with camera stands; the Blue Card is nearby. Interacting with it spawns a Mimic; shoot moving objects to lure it out and eliminate it. Collect the Blue Card.
Retrieving the Red Card
From the security desk, proceed to the East Wing, following red carpets to stairs. You'll find 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, eliminate zombies, and unlock the door using the blacklight code. Activate the console, triggering a 25-second timer to turn drain switches (one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one accessible via grappling hook). After draining the water, follow the Mangler's path, defeat it and its horde to get the Red Card.
Confronting the Disciple
Return to the security desk, insert all four cards, and take the elevator to the top floor. Eliminate any pursuing zombies. Answer the red phone. Fight through numerous zombies and the Disciple in the BioTech room. A final cutscene reveals the events were a hallucination.
This concludes the Emergence mission walkthrough.
