Master the Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission: A Comprehensive Guide
The Emergence mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 marks the campaign's halfway point and represents a significant departure from traditional gameplay. This guide provides a complete walkthrough.
Navigating the Kentucky BioTech Facility
The mission begins with Case and Marshall inside a toxic gas-filled Kentucky BioTech facility. An elevator malfunction leads to a gas mask breakage and subsequent hallucinations. After the cutscene, locate a red-lit, locked door. Use a hatchet found on a mannequin to force it open. Proceed through the hallway, up the stairs, and to the central elevator.
Activating the elevator triggers a zombie encounter (hallucination-induced). 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.
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") to access the A.C.R. room (more zombies await). The yellow card is held by a mannequin; interacting with it transforms it into an abomination.
Before engaging the abomination, collect armor, weapons, and crucially, the 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 return to the main facility. Locate the Administration Facility by grappling up from the security desk. Answer the ringing phone; you'll need to find four documents and place them in the file display area.
While collecting the documents (one on a corner desk, one near a round table, one on a central table, and one in the cafe), mannequins will pursue. Maintain distance by sprinting. After placing the documents, grapple the attacking red mannequin repeatedly until it transforms into a Mangler Zombie. Defeat it to obtain the Green Card.
Obtaining the Blue Card
Grapple across to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the phone, locate the glass chamber with camera stands, and find the Blue Card. A mimic will appear; lure it out by shooting moving objects and eliminate it to claim the card.
Confronting the Mimic
The Mimic's ability to disappear requires strategic shooting of seemingly moving objects to trigger its transformation. Defeat it to acquire the Blue Card.
Retrieving the Red Card
Navigate to the East Wing, following the red carpets and stairs. In the water-filled room, interact with the console to reveal the Red Card held by a Mangler. Use the grappling hook to reach the upper area, swim through the red tunnel, and climb the ladders. Clear the zombies and unlock the door using the blacklight code.
Activate the console, triggering a 25-second timer to turn all drain switches. One is in the starting room, another in the unlocked room, and the last requires grappling. After draining the water, pursue the Mangler, defeat it and its horde, and claim the Red Card.
Final Showdown with the Disciple
Insert all four cards into the security desk. Take the elevator to the top floor. A phone call initiates a final encounter with numerous zombies and the Disciple. Overcome them to complete the mission (the final cinematic reveals the events were a hallucination).
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
