From the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas to the heavily guarded grounds of Area 51, the war has spread across some of Nevada's most iconic locations.
In addition to the new maps, Season 5 is going all-in on all-out warfare with the biggest updates to the combat arsenal yet, featuring 6 new weapons and 2 new vehicles, a new PVE Halloween event, and more.
Now, let's take a closer look at both maps:
VEGAS STRIP
Vegas Strip drops players into a dense urban battlefield where casinos, hotels, and landmark attractions have become the center of the fighting.
Olympus Pools
Combat shifts between close-quarters fights inside the hotel, skirmishes around the pool deck, and battles across the surrounding resort grounds. Teams that control the high ground can keep an eye on key routes and pressure enemies moving between objectives.
Olympus Lobby
Players can enter through the valet area, push through staff entrances, or use ziplines to reach the rooftop before dropping through the collapsed dome overhead. The objective rewards teams that attack from multiple angles and make use of the space above and below them.
Crater & Storm Drains
Above ground, infantry and vehicles fight across exposed streets and debris fields. Beneath the surface, storm drains and tunnels create a completely different experience, with tight corridors and close-range engagements that offer a safer route through the middle of the map.
AREA 51
Most people have heard of Area 51. Very few know what's supposed to be inside.
Players can battle across the base above ground or push into the facility hidden beneath it. Both spaces play very differently, but they're constantly connected by the flow of the match.
Crash Site
Ground vehicles frequently clash around the wreckage, while nearby hangars create opportunities for infantry players to move between cover and challenge advancing armor.
Helipad
Built into the mountainside, its elevation provides clear sightlines toward several objectives, making it a popular location for Recon players while also giving teams anti-air options to challenge enemy aircraft.
The Crater
A massive impact has exposed sections of the underground facility, creating a network of tunnels, garages, abandoned laboratories, and defensive positions beneath the desert surface. Three objectives are packed into this area, which keeps infantry in constant close-quarters combat as teams fight for control of the underground.
Aircraft Control Tower
At the start of the match, the upper floors serve as a powerful sniper nest overlooking much of the battlefield. Leave it standing and defenders can lock down large sections of the map. Bring it down, and the fight shifts to the rubble below.

Coming in Season 5, Rapid Royale takes the foundation of REDSEC Battle Royale and turns up the intensity. The goal remains simple: survive to the end. Watch the trailer.
