The Mauser Tankgewehr M1918 is an Imperial German anti-tank rifle, chambered in the 13.2mm TuF cartridge. Devised between 1916 and 1918, the weapon did not see mass production or widespread use until mid-1918. It was designed as a counter to the British and French use of tanks like the Mark IV/V and Renault FT, and was the only anti-tank rifle to see service during the war. The 13.2mm round was capable of penetrating 22mm of armor plating, nearly double that of the Mark IV's maximum of 12mm.

The Tankgewehr M1918 makes its debut in Battlefield 1. It is seen in the reveal trailer being carried by a gasmasked individual marching alongside a Mark IV/V tank, implying it has been stolen or captured.
