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 plummets, breaking the mask and triggering a hallucinatory sequence. Once regaining control, explore the crash site 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 to reach the stairs and a central elevator.

Activating the elevator unleashes hallucinatory zombie mannequins. Eliminate them with your hatchet. A ringing phone at 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.

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, solve the computer puzzle ("Access" and "Lift") to access the A.C.R. room, where more axe-wielding zombie mannequins await.

After clearing them, a mannequin holding the Yellow card transforms into an abomination. Before engaging, collect armor plates, weapons, and importantly, the grappling hook from the surrounding area. Use tactical explosives (C4 or grenades) to efficiently eliminate the abomination and its zombie horde. Retrieve the Yellow Card from its remains.

Finding the Green Card in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Use the grappling hook to ascend from the A.C.R. room back 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, then locate and place four documents in the file display area.

Mannequins will pursue you; however, they freeze when you turn. Quickly collect the documents (one on a corner desk, one near a round table, one on a small central table, and one in the cafe). After placing all documents, grapple the attacking red mannequin repeatedly until it transforms into a Mangler Zombie. Defeat it to obtain 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 phone, then locate the glass chamber with camera stands. Interacting with the Blue Card spawns a Mimic. To defeat it, shoot objects that appear to move, forcing the Mimic to reveal itself. After eliminating the Mimic, retrieve 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, head to the East Wing, following the red carpets to a room with water, a console, and a Mangler. Interacting with the console reveals 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, clear the zombies, and unlock the door using the blacklight code.

Interact with the console to start a 25-second timer to turn all drain switches (one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one accessible via the grappling hook). After draining the water, follow the Mangler's trail, defeat it and its zombie horde, and claim the Red Card.

Defeating the Disciple in Black Ops 6 Emergence

Insert all four cards into the security desk. Take the elevator to the top floor. Answer the red phone, triggering a cinematic and a confrontation with numerous zombies and the Disciple. Defeating them reveals the entire sequence as a hallucination, concluding the mission.
