Battlefield V Arras
It’s seemingly serene, this lush French village and its pictorial houses, kissed by the sun and hugged by wall-climbing vegetation. But the scars of Arras run deep – and yet another World War is about to rattle the serenity.Together with Twisted Steel, Arras is one of the two Western Front maps depicting the Fall of France which eventually led to a British retreat from continental Europe. It’s inspired by the May 1940 battle that took place around the town of Arras, where the allied side launched a counter-attack against the German army, advancing towards the channel coast.

In this rural area, you’ll see shades of the Soissons map from Battlefield™ 1 or even Harvest Day from Battlefield™: Bad Company. The environments are beautiful, but don’t stare too long at the magnificent yellows of the canola fields – enemy tanks or snipers may pick you off.
Arras at a Glance
Units: Infantry - Tanks - Aircraft
Size: Medium-Large
Tempo: Moderate
Play style
Arras is about all-out warfare, meaning everybody will have a place and a chance to shine with their personal playstyle. There are open areas where tanks and planes will prefer to fight, but also hectic, infantry-friendly zones like the center of the map, where snipers can take advantage of the bird’s-eye view made possible by the church, the map’s highest point.
For this setting (and for Battlefield™ V in general) we’ve got a killer tip: build Fortifications. On open fields, they give you the option to build trenches, which will be a much wiser way to get around than exposing yourself like a sitting duck. On top of creating new routes, Fortifications can block routes for the enemy, too.
Available Game Modes
Arras offers players the opportunity to take on a wide variety of modes, including:
Breakthrough – Fight to control sectors as an attacker and push the enemy back to claim vital ground in this intense mode.
Conquest – An all-time Battlefield™ classic, this vast game mode includes up to 64 players who battle for control of key locations on the map.
Domination – Fast-paced, infantry-based combat in close quarters is where you’ll see the enemy up close and personal and where the fighting revolves around significant strategic objectives.
Final Stand - There can only be one team left standing, and this tie-breaking conclusion to Grand Operations will determine the winner.
Frontlines – An intense tug-of-war battle where one single key area at a time is contested.
Team Deathmatch – Kill or be killed is the name of the game; inflict as many casualties on the enemy as possible to emerge victorious.
Grand Operations
The third and potentially fourth day of the Grand Operation Fall of France take place on Arras (the other two days are played on the Twisted Steel map). New to Grand Operations? You’re in for a vast multiplayer experience that takes you across fictional in-operation “days,” where each day is represented by a round played on a combination of a map and mode. The actions you, your squad, and your team take on day one will have a direct impact on gameplay in day two, which in result will impact day three, and so on.
