Back at The Rook, a discussion unfolds where Felix reveals to everyone that Russell Adler is being held at a secret Black Site in Washington, D.C.

This Most Wanted mission focuses on rescuing Adler and offers a blend of intense gameplay moments, including stealth, infiltration, puzzle-solving, and full-scale gunfights. One of the standout elements is that you can approach it in multiple ways.

To help you navigate this complex mission, this guide will walk you through the most effective route to complete The Most Wanted mission in the Black Ops 6 campaign.

Black Ops 6 campaign mission 3 “Most Wanted” objectives

You’ll begin the Most Wanted mission from the mission board inside The Rook, the safehouse. Once initiated, you’ll receive a full briefing about the CIA Black Site, which is hidden within the Washington D.C. tunnel system, located directly beneath Capitol Station. This Black Site is heavily secured, with access restricted by a retinal scanner.

To bypass this, the team plans a well-coordinated infiltration operation scheduled for Saturday, when a political event is being hosted at the station. One of the attendees, Senator Jack McKenna, has security clearance to access the Black Site. In order to get past the retinal scanner, you’ll need a high-resolution image of the senator’s eyes.

As William “Case” Calderon, your objectives in the Most Wanted mission include:

Rescue Russell Adler from the CIA Black Site beneath Capitol Station
Meet with Sevati
Locate the Disc and capture a retinal image of Senator McKenna
Infiltrate the Black Site
Escape Capitol Station

This mission will provide you with a map of the event inside the Capitol Station. You can take different routes to find the activities and mini-quests. These mini-quests can be taken up to complete the main mission and gain necessary access to the Black Site. However, you do not need to complete all the smaller tasks and can choose a single method.

Rescue Russell Adler from a CIA black site under Capitol Station

For this objective, enter the Capitol Station disguised as Jess Burke, a journalist from Washington Telegraph. You will meet Harrow after entering the building, who will warn you of the dangers of getting caught while trying to rescue Adler.

Meet with Sev

After your encounter with Harrow, you will need to find Sev at Table 14, which will be marked on your screen with a circle. Once seated, use the camera to click images of the Senator. It will be the man talking with Governor Clinton on the stage. Snap a few pictures till Felix confirms that the images have been received.

Sev will provide you with a map of the Gala that you need to use to get the Senator's retinal scan. Choose the location closest to the stage and clarify any doubts with Sev. Use your camera to tag guards, and go talk to Armato near the stage. He will provide you with a task for the silent auction.

Finding the Disc

You will need to enter the restricted area behind the stage to access the computer that handles the bidding. One guard will be in this area, and you need to take them down silently. Interact with the computer and enter the letters that correspond to the numbers shown on the screen.

Using the computer, identify the item that the Senator has bid on heavily. Now, head to the Auction Hall to get the item. Follow the objective marker and enter the hall to find the antique clock. Now, get behind the curtains to swipe the item from the table. Correctly enter the code behind the clock using a blacklight to retrieve the hidden material.

Once you enter the code, the clock will open up, providing you access to a floppy disc with the name "McKenna" written on it.

You now need to deliver this disc to Armato to gain his trust and secure some time with the Senator. All you have to do is follow the objective markers and get to the store named Constitution at the back of the building. Knock on its door and enter the back room. Take a picture of the Senator to get his retinal scan, which is crucial for the Most Wanted mission.

Entering the black site

Now, you need to follow the markers again to access the stairs and get to the roof of the building to avoid detection. The objective marker will show up once you have traversed to the other side of the roof. After Marshall and Sev take out the guard, you need to equip your gear before entering the elevator shaft.

Go down the shaft and enter the underground tunnel through the elevator. Here, you will need to enter the Senator's retinal scan to access the black site. After that, shoot down the enemies who breached the area while following the objective marker. Then, enter the correct code using the blacklight to open the secured door.

Use the ladder in the room to climb up and get to the other room to help Marshall enter it. Eliminate all the enemies and follow the marker on the screen. You will get to the final locked door, where you need to put a remote-controlled car bomb inside the vents. Use this gadget to move around the room and detonate it near the power box.

Escaping Capitol Station

Once you find Adler inside the aforementioned room, you can start getting out of the black site. Pantheon soldiers will storm the area, so you will need to eliminate all the enemies to get out of this place. Push through the soldiers and follow the objective marker to make it out of the building.

You will encounter a Juggernaut near the elevator. This enemy can be eliminated using homing knives. Enter the elevator to get to the shaft and escape to the roof. After the explosion, follow the markers again and use the stairs to reach the Capitol Station's ground floor.

Get to the Auction Hall and use one of the bikes to escape from the pursuers. Jump to the van with Sev's help to complete the Most Wanted mission in Black Ops 6.

Conclusion

The escaping part of Most Wanted in Black Ops 6 is quite dramatic and showcases Adler's ability to survive. Once you make your way out of the building, you will need to evade enemy combatants before joining the team back and returning to the Mansion. The completion of this mission will unlock a new chapter in the storyline and provide you access to the Hunting Season mission.

Most Wanted is one of the most action-packed missions in the entire game and contains various completion routes. You can try and test all the other methods to experience the objective from a new perspective. This is a unique way that boosts player retention and provides a lot more gameplay content with a single mission.
