Emergence is the sixth mission in the Black Ops 6 Campaign. This is one of those classic Black Ops mind-bending missions and is one of the longer ones in the game. It takes place directly after "The Cradle." In the previous mission, the Rogue Black Ops discover a sample of the secret weapon "Cradle" in Saddam Hussein's palace.
Tracing its origin, led the squad back to Kentucky in the United States where they found that the CIA worked with Soviet scientists to build this biochemical weapon, which could alter the human mind. Hence, to learn more about its origin, the team heads to a now abandoned facility in Kentucky and thus begins the mission.
The mission combines both challenging gunfights and complicated puzzles for the player to solve, and this can add to the confusion. But fret not, as in this guide, we will take a closer look at how you complete the mission "Emergence" in the Black Ops 6 Campaign.

Black Ops 6 Campaign mission "Emergence" objectives
The Black Ops 6 Campaign mission "Emergence" can be broadly divided into three main objectives with several sub-tasks under each. Hence, it can get a little complicated. Here's what the mission entails:
- Infiltrate the ATA (Advanced Technologies and Applications) Facility in the US.
- Find four Director Keys.
- Access the Biotechnology wing of the ATA Facility.

Finding your way to the Biotech entrance
As soon as the mission kicks off, Case (you) and Marshall will notice that the abandoned facility is filled with toxic gases. So you will put on your gas masks and try to make your way to the Biotech room. Unfortunately, you will fail to make a crucial jump and fall to the bottom of the facility. This will also break your mask, causing you to inhale the toxic gases and hallucinate.
Now, you'll notice a door with a red light. Approach it. However, you can't open it, and the game will ask you to find a tool. Go backward and turn right to find an axe on the floor. Pick it up. Ignore the hallucinations, as they cannot hurt you (yet).
Use the axe to open the door with the red light and turn right into the hallway. Move forward and turn left through the open door. Take the stairs to your right and keep walking until you come across a locked elevator. It will ask you to get in touch with security for access.
Turn back, and you'll immediately notice a few mannequins turning into zombies. Use your axe to take them down. Move forward till you reach the circular desk. Pick up the ringing phone. The caller will tell you that to access the Biotechnology room.
To do this, you will need four Director's cards from the Cognitive Research Facility (Red), A.C.R (Yellow), Administration (Green), and Joint Projects (Blue). You'll now get a map that will direct you to the A.C.R facility (Yellow).
Getting the A.C.R (Yellow Director) Card
Turn left from the Security Console and keep moving forward. You'll notice a large sign on the wall with "West Wing" written on it. Keep walking forward, and you will see a yellow staircase to your left. Go up and keep moving. You will eventually end up at the Director's office.
Interact with the computer on the desk. It will ask you to solve a pretty straightforward puzzle, the answer to which is "Access" and "Lift." As you reach the A.C.R., you'll encounter zombies. Pull out your axe and take them down. Once that's done, the camera will pan to show you a mannequin holding the Yellow card. Do not approach it yet.
Search the entire room for guns, armor plates, and any other equipment you can find. Once you're ready, approach the table beside the mannequin holding the keycard, and you will find a Grappling Hook.
As soon as you pick it up, you will be attacked by an Abomination Zombie. Press your Tactical Equipment button (Q on PC) while looking to the left to avoid being smashed by it. Now, take down the Abomination as well as all the zombies it spawns.
One quick way of doing this is by heading over to the opposite end of the room. You will find C4s and Sentries there. You can set them up and take the zombies down relatively quickly. Once all of them are killed, approach the Abomination and collect the Yellow Card.
It's now time for you to leave the room. Get to the center and look up. You will find spots to use your Grapple Hook and get out of the room. Keep going up until you reach the main facility again.
You can now collect the other cards in any order you like. However, we'll start with the Red one first.
Getting the Cognitive Research Facility (Red Director) Card
Once you reach the Security Console again at the center, head over to the East Wing. Look for the red carpets and follow them up the stairs. You can refer to the Tactical Map for easier navigation. Keep moving forward, and you'll end up in a room with a console behind a glass. Upon closer inspection, you'll see a Mangler stuck underwater.
Interact with the console first. This pans the camera to the Mangler, showing you the Red Card. Move a few steps back, look up, and use the Grappling Hook to get on the top railings.
Jump into the pool, and you will see a red tunnel behind the Mangler. Swim through it to the other side. Take the ladders to your left and climb up. Now, turn right and head through the door. Then, eliminate the zombies in the area.
On your left, you'll find a locked door. Unlock it using the Blacklight. Note that the number will be different for everyone. Once it is unlocked, turn back and head to the room directly opposite it. Interact with the console, and this will kick off a 25-second timer, within which you must turn on all the drain switches.
The first switch is in the same room as the console. The second switch is in the room you previously unlocked. To reach the room with the third one, go over to the ladders and look at the opposite end. Grapple up to the room, and you'll find the third switch in it. The water from the pool will now be drained. Head back through the tunnel once the pool is empty.
The Mangler will have escaped. Approach the broken glass cage, and you will be immediately jumped by this foe. Look to your right and use the Grapple Hook to quickly get away from it. Then, fight the Mangler and the horde of zombies that spawned. Once they're dead, you'll get the Red Card.
Go back the way you came, and you'll be attacked by a horde of zombies resembling Frank Woods. Kill all of them and make your way back to the mid-section (the Security desk).
Getting the Administration Facility (Green Director) Card
Look up to your left while facing the elevator, and you'll find a spot you can use to grapple up. This will get you to the Administration Wing. You'll hear a phone ringing. Answer it. Then, keep moving forward. After that, you must collect four documents and place them in the file holder near the glass room.
The first document is located on a small table in the center of the room right next to the notice board. The second document is on top of a desk in the left corner diagonal to the center of the room. The third document is on the other end, in the cafe near the sink. Finally, the fourth document can be found on the left side of the room near the round table.
Note that the entire time you are facing away from the mannequins, they will keep following you. Hence, make sure to maintain as much distance from them as possible. Place the documents in the file holder near the glass room. Once you do that, a red mannequin will now attack you. However, you cannot shoot it down, and every time you get near it, it will run away.
Use your Grapple Hook to catch it. Doing this multiple times will see the mannequin break and turn into a Mangler zombie. Take it out to get the Green Card. Head back to the balcony you used to get to the Administration Wing.
Getting the Joint Projects Facility (Blue Director) Card
Once you are on the balcony, look in the opposite direction to find a grappling spot. This will lead you to the Joint Projects Facility. Answer the ringing phone. Now, you must turn back, head left, and go straight.
Now, look for the camera stands surrounding the glass chamber, and you will find the Blue Card. But as soon as you interact with it, a Mimic will spawn. Eliminate it. If the Mimic disappears, shoot at the objects in the room that seem to be moving, and it will take its zombie form again. Once it is killed, collect the Blue Card from its ashes.
Accessing the Biotechnology room
We are now in the final section of the mission. Head back to the Security desk and enter all four cards on the system. The elevator will now open up. Approach it and make sure to kill the zombies that are following you. Once you reach the top, your screen will turn black, and you can only see a red phone.
Answer it, and a cinematic will play out, throwing you into the Biotechnology room. Here, you will encounter a Disciple and a large horde of zombies. Eliminate them. As soon as the Disciple is killed, a cinematic will play out where you watch yourself being mowed down by zombies. But you soon come to your senses and find out that it's Marshall and Sev bringing you back to reality.
With that, the Black Ops 6 Campaign mission "Emergence" comes to an end.
