Master the Black Ops 6 Emergence Mission: A Complete Guide
The Emergence mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 marks the campaign's halfway point and represents a significant departure from the series' typical gameplay. This comprehensive guide will walk you through every step.
Navigating the Kentucky BioTech Facility
The mission begins with Case and Marshall inside a toxic Kentucky BioTech facility. An elevator malfunction leads to a gas mask failure and subsequent hallucinations. After the cutscene, locate a red-lit locked door. Use a hatchet (found on a mannequin) to break it open. Proceed through the hallway, up the stairs, and to the central elevator.
Accessing the Biotechnology Room
Activating the elevator triggers a zombie encounter (hallucination). Eliminate them with your hatchet. A phone call directs you to the biotechnology room, requiring four director's cards (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow). You'll receive a map to the Yellow card.
Locating 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 appear; eliminate them. A mannequin holds the Yellow card, but interacting with it transforms it into an abomination. Before engaging, gather armor, weapons, and the crucial grappling hook.
Use tactical explosives (C4 or grenades) to efficiently defeat the abomination and its zombie horde. Retrieve the Yellow card.
Obtaining the Green Card
Use the grappling hook to ascend to the main facility. Next, acquire the Green card in the Administration Facility. Grapple to the facility, answer the phone, and locate four documents to place in the file display area.
Manequin "enemies" will appear. Sprint to maintain distance while collecting 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 the documents, grapple the red mannequin repeatedly to transform it into a Mangler Zombie and obtain the Green Card.
Securing the Blue Card
Grapple across to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the phone and locate the Blue card within the glass chamber. Defeat the Mimic that spawns by shooting moving objects to trigger its transformation.
Confronting the Mimic
The Mimic's ability to disappear requires strategic shooting of seemingly moving objects to force its reappearance. Eliminate it to claim the Blue card.
Acquiring the Red Card
Head to the East Wing, following the red carpets 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, and climb the ladders. Clear the zombies and unlock the door using the blacklight code. Activate the timer and quickly turn all drain switches within 25 seconds (one in the starting room, one in the unlocked room, and one accessed via the grappling hook). Defeat the Mangler and its horde to obtain the Red card.
Defeating the Disciple
Return to the security desk and insert all four cards. Take the elevator to the top floor, fight off zombies, and answer the red phone. A final confrontation with zombies and the Disciple ensues, culminating in a hallucinatory sequence. The mission concludes with Marshall and Sev bringing Case out of the hallucination.
