How to get Joint Projects Director Keycard in BO6 Emergence
When you begin the Emergence mission, you’ll receive a map with an East and West Wing. The East Wing with the Joint Projects and Cognitive Research buildings will be locked at first. To open the East Wing and get the Joint Projects Director Keycard inBO6, follow these steps:
The first few steps will be pretty straightforward, especially if you’re an avidZombiesplayer. Defeat all the undead, and you’ll get the yellow keycard to unlock the East Wing entrance. Use the Grappling Hook above the Joint Projects entrance to go inside.
The Joint Projects Director Keycard will be dead ahead, but unfortunately, it won’t be that easy to grab. Like the previous card, a zombified foe will spawn out to cause some trouble. However, this time, the enemy will hide itself from you.
How to find the Joint Projects Director boss in BO6 Emergence
The Joint Director bossdisguises itself as objectsaround the room, almost likeProp Hunt.Look for any items that are shaking in place,which is a clear sign that it’s the Mimic. You may also be able to hear some rattling noises nearby. The chairs near the entrance, next to the ‘N13’ pole, seem to be a common spot.
There are many more potential prop disguises, such as a trash can, trolly, and a first aid kit. So, watch out for any abnormal objects and shoot them immediately after. Deal enough damage to eliminate the Mimic, and the Joint Directors Keycard will now be yours for the taking.
How to fix the Joint Projects Director Keycard bug in Black Ops 6
Some players have encountered issues with the Mimic not spawning within Joint Projects. If this happens to you, you canload up your last checkpointto hopefully refresh the mission. It’s not the ideal fix, especially if it has been a while since your last checkpoint. However, it may be the only way to address the potential bug.
Since the room is relatively dark and filled with many objects, it’s possible to miss the Mimic’s location (I did this more than enough times). Just keep a sharp eye on those shaking objects or reload the checkpoint to get a refresher.
Where to find Administration and Cognitive Research Keycards in BO6 Emergence
You must locate the other two Director Keycards to complete the rest of the Emergence mission inBO6. They can be found in the East and West Wings in the red and green buildings.
Cognitive Research Director Keycard location
Enter the Cognitive Research building and drain the Cognitive Research Pool. Use your Grappling Hook on the upper floor to reach the pool.
Jump inside the pool and swim toward the Mangler to locate a tube. Swim inside it to find the Drainage area. Before interacting with the computer, open the nearby door with the keypad. Use your blacklight to figure out the passcode. Now, go to the computer to begin the override process and pull the three switches. One will be right behind you, while the other is inside the room you just unlocked. The last switch will be on the left side, where you must use your Grapple Hook to reach it.
Return to the Mangler and defeat it to claim the Cognitive Research Director Keycard.
Administration Director Keycard location
Travel to the Administration building and collect four reports for the Director. You’ll find them in these spots:
If you aren’t sure what you’re looking for, here’s a glimpse into report locations:

Desk in the center of the room
Chase down the Director (the red-colored mannequin) and use your Grappling Hook to deplete its health. Next, eliminate the Mangler to earn the last Director Keycard for theBO6EmergenceCampaign mission. Use the keycards to open the door to Biotechnology, beginning the quest’s final battle with the Disciple.
