New Vanguard Maps

With Season 5: Reloaded we will of course get a new map: Fortress.

Fortress (Medium)

Fortress sounds like a forgettable mess. It's like the BF2042 map with all the abandoned ships on the coast, but this time the rusting old ships are in the desert. You've got close-quarters fighting inside the old ships, and power positions on the roof. Here it is:
