Discarded is a Battlefield 2042 launch map set in the ship-breaking yards of Alang, India, where beached freighters are being cut up on the sand, with flags inside the hulls, on the beach and in the yard’s workshops. It is one of the largest launch maps and was reworked to shorten its distances.

Discarded puts the fight inside and around giant ship hulls run aground on a beach. The hulls are multi-level interiors with cut-open sides; between them are sand, cranes, scrap piles and workshops. At launch the walk between flags drew complaints and the rework moved objectives closer and added cover on the beach. Vehicles, including hovercraft on the shallows, cover the distances infantry cannot.
The map’s look is one of the game’s most distinctive and it photographs well, which is why it dominates the official wallpaper set.

The hulls are the infantry maps within the map: hold the decks, use the cut-outs as firing positions, and expect vehicles to shell them from the beach. Hovercraft are the best transport across the shallows. Helicopters love the open sand and die to Engineers on the ship decks. In Breakthrough, the sectors move hull to hull and the attacking side needs the beach flanks rather than a straight push along the sand.
