In the Black Ops 6 campaign, you take on the role of the silent protagonist, William “Case” Calderon. The entire campaign revolves around the clandestine organization known as Pantheon.

Through the many missions in the game, it is discovered that Pantheon had been making arms deals with Saddam Hussein. It's also suspected early on in the campaign that the CIA has a mole. Through rigorous missions and after many gunfights, Case and team discover The Cradle, a bio-weapon in Saddam Hussein's palace.

This is an important bit of information as the story comes down to The Cradle, Pantheon, Case, and, finally, Jane Harrow. Here is what leads to the Black Ops 6 campaign ending:

Harrow's angle

Jane Harrow turns out to be the mole in the CIA, as it is revealed that she's working with Pantheon right before the team kidnaps her. She had planned to attack the Capitol Building by detonating The Cradle to discredit Livingstone. This would've achieve two things:

  • Harrow would replace Livingstone as the Director of the CIA.
  • Since Harrow is working with Pantheon, this would give the evil organization full command over the CIA.

Harrow's motivation to lash out against the CIA was simple: vengeance. She believed that her parents had been killed by Adler under the orders of the CIA. These details are revealed by Harrow herself after the team kidnaps her and Adler injects her with the truth serum at the Rook. This leads us to the Black Ops 6 campaign ending.

At the very end, after Harrow is injected with the truth serum, her allies from Pantheon eventually reach the Rook and attempt to rescue her. As she tries to flee the scene, Case chases after her and manages to climb aboard her helicopter.

Under the influence of The Cradle bio-weapon, the protagonist and Harrow have their final brawl, which leads to the Helicopter crashing. Case seemingly chokes Harrow to death and presumably takes his last breath after the helicopter crashes. However, their deaths are never fully confirmed. This is the official Black Ops 6 campaign ending. The next section highlights key takeaways from it.

In the end, Livingstone saves face and evacuates the Capitol Building. He also manages to restore The Cradle safely, meaning he will remain the CIA Director for good.

Case and Harrow are likely dead. The Cradle has finally been recovered and the Capitol Building is safe, along with Livingstone's position and reputation. However, the Pantheon's whereabouts are unknown, and the members of its upper echelons are still shrouded in mystery. This is essentially what happens in the Black Ops 6 campaign ending.

Finally, a cutscene takes us two weeks into the future from the Capitol Building attack. After the Black Ops 6 campaign ends, Woods, Marshall, and Adler reunite with Livingstone, who tells them that Pantheon is still a major threat to global security.

Livingstone pushes them to continue their work as an independent secret organization to find a way to destroy Pantheon one way or another. All resources, finances, and firepower can be accounted for as long as the team is working against this evil force.

The cutscene ends with Jackson Caine seemingly accessing important files on a computer that could have belonged to none other than Livingstone himself.


Caine’s identity is largely unknown but it is fairly possible that he could be connected to Ryan Jackson from the previous Black Ops games. For now, this character remains shrouded in mystery.
