Grand Operations is a narrative-based multiplayer gamemode introduced in Battlefield V. Unlike Operations in Battlefield 1, this mode splits matches over the course of up to four fictional days, providing players with four unique and distinct game modes. Additionally each with their own custom rules and map layouts. Players relive various vast historical battles across these four days, with the outcome of each day affecting a team's status in the next such as amount of tickets, ammunition, reduced vehicle respawn time, and other resources.

Gamemodes

• Airborne
• Breakthrough
• Conquest
• Conquest Assault
• Frontlines
• Final Stand

Modes Unique to Grand Operations

Airborne

"Parachute into a Grand Operation to prepare the invasion of defend and fortify defensive positions"

— Battlefield V Launch Notes

The first day of certain Grand Operations start with Airborne. Attackers will parachute onto the map from aircraft that fly across the map periodically, where their goal is to defeat the defenders by destroying the artillery cannons. Attackers have the option to eject from the aircraft at any point of the map, however defenders can take down these aircraft and kill any attackers still inside.

During Airborne phase, Weather will be attacker-friendly such as fog, rain or set during night time.

Final Stand

"The optional (day 3 draw induced) conclusion of a Grand Operation where the battles take place in a shrinking combat area and no respawns are allowed."

— Battlefield V Launch Notes

Most Grand Operations will end on day 3 of the match but should both teams end it st a draw, the fourth day may commence, using the Final Stand gamemode. The objective of the mode is to eliminate all members of the opposing team. In this mode players will not be able respawn once killed and their amount of ammunition and health will be dependent on the previous day's events.

The conditions to enter Final Stand are:

• Breakthrough: Timer must reach zero at exactly the last sector before attackers lose tickets.
• Conquest: Timer must reach zero before any team run out of tickets.
• Frontlines: Timer must reach zero and both teams have destroyed the same amount of objectives.

During Final Stand phase, Weather will be set as "Extream" such as Snowstorm.
