Fresh off an explosive visit to a Kuwaiti airport to intercept Gusev in Ground Control, Sev and the gang are off to investigate a former Russian base dubbed Vorkuta. It’s been overrun by Pantheon forces and is reportedly home to The Cradle. You’ll need to sabotage the base’s defences before the rest of the crew swoops in to clear out any stragglers and snatch the biological weapon.
In this guide, you’ll find a full walkthrough for the Black Ops 6 campaign’s ninth mission, Under the Radar. We’ve organised the guide according to mission objectives. You can jump to any of them quickly using the list on the right.
Infiltrate the Pantheon Base – Acquire a Pantheon Uniform
As soon as you gain control of Sev, inch forward towards the window and take down the soldier on the balcony. Sev will strip him down and don his Pantheon uniform.
Sabotage the Pantheon Defenses – Surveil the Radar, SAM Site, and Attack Helicopter
Turn to the east and press the corresponding button prompt to surveil the radar (F on PC), then do the same for the SAM site to the north, and the attack helicopter to the west. You’ll then unlock the Satellite Map, detailing the multiple ways you can sabotage the three objectives.

Enter the Base
Use the hatch to reach the level below, climb down the stairs, and enter the base by completing the lockpicking mini-game. You’ll enter a Restricted Area. Though you have a disguise, some actions, like aim your weapon or lockpicking, will blow your cover. Take a left and open the gate next to the guard.

Discover How to Sabotage the Radar
Make your way over to the radar installation. You have two options to disable it:
- A Nice Chat – convince the soldier manning the radar to take it offline.
- Plant Explosive – plant an explosive charge on the radar dish.
- Plant Explosive – plant an explosive charge on the power supply.
We recommend convincing the soldier to disable the dish. Walk up to the window and talk to the operator behind the glass. Select the following dialogue options to convince him to disable the radar dish:
- Seems a bit overblown, doesn’t it? Who would attack us out here?
- Keen Eye – check the monitor then the clipboard and radio.
- Something about a code 11A. Command’s worried there may be a malfunction.
- I don’t know, it’s just what Sgt. Whitman told me.
- He wants to run the clutter simulation again. The previous one was incomplete.

While you’re at the dish, there’s also a safe you can loot. Head inside the building behind the operator room. Climb up the stairs and you’ll see a fenced off area with two guards inside. The radio is on the desk in front of the fence by the guard. Tune it to get the code 7225. Pick the lock to open the gate, but make sure the guard on the outside isn’t facing you. Crouch, enter, and take a sharp right to find the safe. Enter the code, grab the $1000, and get out of the restricted area as fast as possible.

Discover How to Sabotage the SAM Site
Head over to the SAM site in the north of the base. You’ll have two options to sabotage the installation:
- Warhead Swap – sabotage the new warheads and convince the operator to install them.
- Plant Explosive – plant an explosive directly on the missiles to destroy the SAM site.
We recommend the Warhead Swap option. Enter the control building just south of the SAM site and talk to the operator inside. Select the following dialogue options:
- I’ve been around since the start. Are those new warheads unloaded yet?
- Keen Eye – check the clipboard, work order, and calendar.
- They’re from Belarus. We have connections there.
- Their upgrade is scheduled for tomorrow, but I’ve been told we need it immediately.
- They’re guidance chips, the GCX-78.

Sabotage the missile. Captured by VideoGamer
Exit the control room, take a right into the small alley to the northwest of the SAM site. Lockpick the door there and go through. It’s a restricted area so stay out of sight. Grab the wire cutters on the table then exit through the door on the left. Take a right towards the trailer, staying hidden from any patrolling guards. Enter the trailer. You’ll see the missile straight ahead. Interact with it to set up the sabotage. Retrace your steps to the control room and talk to the operator to confirm the upgrade is installed.

Discover How to Sabotage the Attack Helicopter
Head to the Helipad in the west of the base. You’ll have three options to sabotage the chopper:
- Explosive Cargo – Plant an explosive on the cargo and convince the soldier at the gate to load it onto the helicopter.
- Plant Explosive – plant an explosive on the helicopter to disable it.
- Fuel Supply – add water to the refuelling truck to sabotage the helicopter’s engine.
Your best option here is the Explosive Cargo. Talk to the operator in the shack to the left of the gates leading into the helipad and next to a stack of crates and a forklift. Select the following dialogue options:
- Keen Eye – check the tattoo, forms, and picture.
- I can’t believe it! You were in the French Foreign Brigade. So was my brother!
- You left for your girls I assume. Beautiful family.
- I just bumped into Cpt. Betzer. He needs the chopper loaded immediately, but they’ve run out of forms.

Go behind the cargo away from the line of sight of the operator and the two guards, then plant the explosive charge. Go to the other side of the cargo stack and talk to the soldier there. Select ‘Go Right Ahead’ and he’ll load the cargo onto the attack helicopter.

Use the security station to locate the Cradle
Head to the security office just east of the Security Office. Sneak into the room with the computer and Silent Takedown the guard inside. Access the computer. You’ll need to solve the cypher code. The solution is PANOPTES. Switch over to the camera inside the base where you’ll spot Harrow. Turns out the weapon has already been shipped out. Contact the radar operator when prompted.
Rendezvous with Sev
When you regain control, you’ll be flying the helicopter with Marshall, Case, and Adler onboard. Shoot the trucks and installations on the road to your right. When you spot the attack helicopter, tap the detonate prompt to take it out of the sky using the explosive on the cargo you set up earlier. Take out the positions on the rooftops, then when the helicopter lands, rappel down.
Rappel down and press on through the base. Captured by VideoGamer

Capture Harrow – Enter the Tunnels
As soon as you land inside the building, take out the two guards ahead then press on following the rest of the crew. Take out the soldiers ahead then go down the stairs, clear out the next wave and make your way outside. Pick off the enemies in the courtyard. Make your way toward the objective marker through the building in the middle of the courtyard. Once through, find cover and take out the elite chucking out exploding RCs. Press on all the way to the back to find a door leading down to the tunnels.

Open the door then stock up on ammo and head down the ramp on your right. Follow the tunnels, go through the door, then take cover and peek around the corner. Pick off the two guards then take out the two elites throwing toxic grenades. Press on into the lab where you’ll find another set of elite enemies. Take them out and continue on through the double doors at the back.
Continue down the corridor and into the next room where you’ll meet a machine gun elite. Use grenades to stun him then take him out. Clear out the rest of the enemies in the room and press on through the door at the back.

In the tunnel, take the left path. Follow it down then veer right and you’ll be ambushed by several Pantheon soldiers. Take them out and press on down the tunnel. Disable any electric traps you come across by shooting them. Drop down into the open area and clear out the ambush, including the two soldiers on the balcony above. Climb up the ladder at the back and you’ll meet Harrow. Complete the quick time event and you’ll have wrapped up the Under the Radar mission and secured the Consolation Prize trophy. Up next is the Separation Anxiety mission.
