Arras is a Battlefield V launch map set in the fields and villages of northern France during the German advance of May 1940, with wheat fields, hedgerows, farm buildings and a church at its centre. It is the game’s classic combined-arms Conquest map and the one most often cited as its best at launch.

Arras is the Battlefield V map that looks like the war everyone imagines: golden wheat, a stone village, a church tower and tanks rolling through hedgerows. The flags spread across farmland and the village, giving tanks open ground and infantry the buildings and fields to hide in. Fortifications matter here more than on most maps because the fields have little natural cover.

It was part of the pre-launch reveal and remained a rotation staple for the game’s life.

Armour owns the fields, infantry owns the village and the church. A squad that builds the fortifications at the farm flags turns open ground into a defensible position. Support players with the ammunition station and Medics with smoke are the difference in the village; Assault with anti-tank weapons keeps the tanks honest on the roads. Recon on the church tower sees most of the map and is the first thing the enemy’s planes strafe.
