Manifest is a Battlefield 2042 launch map set in a container port on Brani Island, Singapore, where stacks of shipping containers, cranes and docked freighters create a maze for infantry and lanes for vehicles. A storm sweeps the harbour during the match.

Manifest is the container map: thousands of stacked boxes, gantry cranes, a cargo ship at the quay and the port’s administration buildings. Flags sit among the stacks and on the ship, so the fight alternates between tight container alleys and open quayside. The weather event brings a storm across the harbour. Like the other launch maps it was reworked in the seasons to reduce the distances between objectives.

It is often cited as the best launch map for infantry because the containers break up the sightlines that plagued the others.

Treat the container stacks as a city: move through them, hold the intersections, and keep off the open quay where tanks and hovercraft have free fire. The cargo ship is a vertical fight worth holding for its view of the harbour. Helicopters are strong over the stacks and weak against Engineers on top of them. Breakthrough here is a push through the yard that rewards smoke and flanking through the stacks.
