Live-service support for Battlefield 2042 has been discontinued, leaving Season 7 as the last major content update. Therefore, there will be no more additional maps or map overhauls anymore.
One of the best things about Battlefield games is the map design. From Wake Island to the Siege of Shanghai, Battlefield’s design team has treated us to some absolute classics over the years and they’re yet to slow down.
From frozen tundras, complete with hovercraft and penguins, to high-tech plazas in South Korea, Battlefield 2042 has it all, giving players a window into this new dystopian world. Each of these new maps stays true to the Battlefield experience too, boasting the all-out sandbox warfare that the franchise has become known for.
So, what are the Battlefield 2042 maps, especially now that its seasonal content has run dry?
Battlefield 2042 maps
These are all the Battlefield 2042 maps you can play on:
- Breakaway
- Discarded (overhauled in Season 4)
- Exposure (Season 1)
- Flashpoint (Season 4)
- Haven (Season 7)
- Hourglass (overhauled in Season 5)
- Kaleidoscope (overhauled in Season 1)
- Manifest (overhauled in Season 3)
- Orbital (overhauled in Season 2)
- Reclaimed (Season 5)
- Redacted (Season 6)
- Renewal (overhauled in Season 2)
- Spearhead (Season 3)

While the game launched with seven main maps, many of these were overhauled quite significantly in the course of the game’s live-service updates. Alongside these changes to existing maps, new maps were also introduced.
Here’s a closer look at the BF2042 launch maps:
Kaleidoscope
Reminiscent of the Siege of Shanghai, Kaleidoscope uses an urban cityscape in South Korea and puts a Battlefield spin on it. While the plaza gardens might seem peaceful, soldiers can fight on multiple levels across the city, over the canals, and on rooftops.
Manifest
Manifest is basically a bigger version of Call of Duty’s Shipment, set in a shipping yard in Singapore. Close-quarters combat is the main focus of Manifest, but given it’s one of Battlefield 2042’s 128-player maps, it does get chaotic.
Orbital
This is Orbital, a space rocket launch station in the middle of Guinea. It’s a medium-sized map that’s spread out across the base – and players have a say in whether the rocket goes off. Get your jeeps at the ready.
Discarded
Set in a ship graveyard in India, players are forced into clusters in this map – so you’ll need to have your trigger finger at the ready to drop anyone you stumble upon whether up high in a shipping container or on the ground.
Renewal
Renewal splits the desert of Egypt into two parts, leaving players fighting over a lush, tech-filled landscape filled with civilian infrastructure and a barren, open canyon. Just keep an eye out for the glint of many a sniper scope on this map.
Hourglass
Qatar’s sun-kissed landscape is the focus of Hourglass, with a mix of open dunes and urban environments coming together. Vehicles are key in traversing this landscape, but the sandstorms that roll in from time to time can help cover you if you’re on foot.
Breakaway
By far the biggest Battlefield 2042 map at launch, Breakaway is set in the wilds of Antarctica. This map has players fighting in clusters over oil and gas reserves. Again, vehicles are key in Breakaway if you want to get around the massive map.
Oh, and there are penguins, easily making this the best Battlefield map of all time.
So there you have it, all the Battlefield 2042 maps you can play on, from its launch offerings all the way to its final season, delivering one of the best FPS games out there.
