The map takes place on the Lofoten Islands in the late spring of 1941 and is loosely based on Operation Claymore. This British commando operation was tasked with destroying vital, Axis-held fish oil factories on the islands.
The oil was being shipped to Germany, where glycerine was extracted and used to manufacture high explosives.

Battlefield V Lofoten Islands: On this map, combat breaks out at both a fish oil factory (on the first island) and in a nearby village (on the second island).
Lofoten Islands at a Glance
Units: Infantry Only.
Size: Small.
Tempo: Fast-Paced on Both Islands.
Playstyle
While fast-paced, Lofoten supports a variety of engagement ranges: long, medium, and short. There are long sightlines for snipers but not many places for concealment. Firing and relocating quickly will be the best strategy. What little cover enemies can find in open buildings can be efficiently eliminated with the strategic application of explosives.
You’ll be able to play a variety of game modes on the map, depending upon your location. For example, Team Deathmatch is set on the village island, while Squad Conquest takes place around the fish oil factory on a separate island.
Key Areas and Squad Conquest Capture Points
Capture points only appear on one of the two islands, as the second (village) island is only available in the Team Deathmatch mode. This more industrialized location was once a hub for both local commercial fishing and shipping. Giant vats filled with fish oil dominate the central area of the map, while the once-bustling dock and fish barn stand all but abandoned to the south. To the west, smaller homes and cabins dot the landscape offering much-needed cover.
Capture Point A: Communications
This cramped fishing cabin in the northwest area of the map has been repurposed as an Axis communications position. The cabin offers a good view of both the surrounding countryside and the factory grounds.
Capture Point B: Fish Barn
This operational headquarters for the factory is also the largest building on the island and sits to the south, near the docks. This multi-leveled structure provides excellent opportunities for scouting out enemies trying to advance along the coastline.
Capture Point C: Upper Vats
Large tanks of fish oil glycerin overlook the factory grounds from the north. This storage facility offers the highest elevation on the map, which can be useful for longer range engagements. But be mindful that this point can be tricky to hold as threats can come from many angles.
Tips for Success on Lofoten Islands
Pinned down by fire from a nearby building? Demolish it with dynamite or other explosives and instantly remove their cover.
The fish oil factory is surrounded by several wooden fences. You can shoot through these fences to open a flank or even set up an ambush for an unsuspecting enemy.
When flanking under the docks, use the pylons for cover and don’t forget to equip short-range weapons.
