Battlefield 6 Vegas Strip Map Guide: Rooftops, Casinos and Storm Drains

Vegas Strip is Battlefield 6's Season 5 Las Vegas map — rooftop ziplines, casino interiors and underground drains. Lanes, objectives and attack/defend play.

Vegas Strip is one of the two maps that opened Season 5 (Siege of Vegas) on 13 October 2026. It’s Las Vegas turned into a full-scale warzone: casinos, hotels, shops and fountains on the street level, rooftops above, and storm drains underneath. It also hosts the Rapid Royale battle royale mode alongside Mirak Valley.

Mode fit

Conquest and Breakthrough both work, and the map shows up in the smaller rotations on tighter slices. It’s the most vertically layered urban map the game has, so treat it like a three-storey problem rather than a street grid.

Three layers of space

  • Air: helicopters fight above the street canyon. The buildings chop up sightlines, so air is powerful but not untouchable.
  • Ground: the Strip itself — wide roads for armor, fountains and plazas for infantry to cross badly.
  • Below: storm drains. The underground network is the whole reason this map doesn’t collapse into one meat grinder, and it’s the safest rotation in the game when the street is locked down.

Rooftop ziplines add a fourth way in. Anyone who only uses stairs is playing half the map.

Key objectives

Objectives sit inside hotels and casinos as well as out on the street, so a “frontline” here has a floor number attached. Expect a rhythm of: own the roof, own the room, then own the flag. Losing the roof means you will not hold the building for long.

Vehicle lanes

Armor belongs on the wide roads and can do real work suppressing the street entrances — but buildings give infantry hard cover everywhere, and a tank that pushes deep into the Strip without an Engineer screen dies to somebody leaning out of a casino. See the tank guide.

Attacking

  • Rotate through the storm drains. It’s the least-covered route between objectives and it puts you behind the defenders.
  • Zipline to a roof, clear it, then drop down into the objective from above rather than walking through the front door.
  • Smoke the plazas. Crossing open ground in front of a hotel full of rifles is not a plan.

Defending

Hold the floors above the objective, not the flag. Pre-aim the stairwells and the drain exits — those are the two places attackers actually come from. Expect your cover to vanish, since the hotels and casinos are heavily destructible; have a second position picked before your first one gets opened up.

Class and loadout notes

Assault for pushing buildings, Engineer for armor and for blowing new entrances, Recon for the rooftop duels and beacons. Confirm in the classes guide and build with the attachment guide. Similar vibe, less vertical: Manhattan Bridge.
