11Snowfield Where the Storm Sleeps (폭풍이 잠든 설원) is a capture-the-flag map of the Battlefield on the Korean and Taiwanese service. The English name is a literal translation; NCsoft has not used an English name for the map. It was added as the new Season 2 battlefield on January 21, 2026, replacing the Season 1 map, and on April 8, 2026 the battlefield switched back to the Season 1 map. The official guidebook, last updated August 13, 2026, still describes it as one of the battlefield's modes, playable when it is the current mode shown on the battlefield screen. The battlefield has run Battlefield: Siege on the Sandstorm Temple map since July 1, 2026.2233Match Rules4455RuleDetailPlayers20 per match: two teams of ten, Red and BlueScoringBring the enemy team's flag back while protecting your own to score one pointVictoryTwo points win at once.

Each base starts with its team's flag planted in it. Interacting with a flag picks it up. If the carrier dies, the flag drops where they fell: interacting with your own team's dropped flag returns it to your base, and interacting with the enemy's picks it up again.9910+1011Carrying a flag has a cost. Its weight stops the carrier from gliding, the carrier stays in combat the whole time, and some skill effects cannot be applied to them. The world map and minimap show both flags and both flag carriers with their own icons.111213+1214Map Features13151416FeatureHow it worksResurrection points and wind pathsEach team revives at its own point, and a wind path in front of it carries players quickly back into the fightUnion of Fate (운명의 결합체; literal translation)Appears at intervals on the central cliff, reached by wind path.
