Düne Island

A small sandy beach leading up to a pillbox and trench system. The flag capture zone is in the shape of a tear drop, descending onto the beach and into a portion of the water. There are 2 anti-aircraft cannons on this point, one in the trench system, and another protected by sandbags. The Tank Hunter elite kit can be found inside the pillbox on this flag.

Mainz

The wreck of German cruiser SMS Mainz that has run aground on a rocky beach. The easiest way to get aboard the ship is by climbing up the ledges near the stern, as the bow of the boat is too high to climb.

Bunker Beach

Wide open expanse of beach that transforms into a trench network and bunker. This flag contains the only Coastal Artillery available on Heligoland Bight, just west of the capture point. There are 2 anti-aircraft cannons on this point, one on an elevated point in the trench system, and another by the bunker entrance. The flag and the area surrounding it contains 4 pillboxes, 2 of which have Maxim MG emplacements.

Lighthouse

A rocky peninsula that extends to a lone lighthouse. To the southwest stands Lange Anna, a towering stack of sandstone, along with a pillbox with an AA gun located next to it and a tunnel which leads to E flag. The Infiltrator kit spawns at the base of the lighthouse

Cove

A rocky cove consisting of two pillboxes which lead to a massive bluff. There is one anti-aircraft gun located just west of the flag.

U-118

A German U-Boat which has run aground upon a small island, located within a cove. This spawn provides another plane for whoever controls it, alongside acting as the secondary spawn point for the German Empire's L-Class Destroyers

• This map along with other maps from Turning Tides were publicly trialed in the Community Test Environment with a "white box" prototype texture like the one seen in Operation Outbreak in Battlefield 4.
• Heligoland Bight is the first map to present Behemoth vs Behemoth gameplay, in the form of Dreadnought vs Dreadnought.
• Naval Mines can be found scattered around the coastline of the map.
• Mainz refers to the German Imperial Navy cruiser SMS Mainz, which was sunk during the First Battle of Heligoland Bight in 1914.
• The beached U-118 is possibly based on the German U-Boat SM U-118, which was beached at Hastings, Sussex in 1918, and became a popular tourist attraction before it was dismantled in 1919.
