St. Quentin Scar is a Battlefield 1 launch map set on the shell-cratered front line of the 1918 German spring offensive, with trench systems at either end and the ruined village of Travers in the middle. It opens the Kaiserschlacht Operation and is the map most players think of as the archetypal Battlefield 1 battlefield.

St. Quentin Scar was the beta map and the map of every trailer: craters, mud, barbed wire, duckboards and a village that disappears as the round goes on. The flags run from the German trenches through Travers to the British lines, with open ground between that cavalry and light tanks cross and infantry does not. The losing side in Conquest can call in the Armoured Train, which runs along the track through the middle of the map.

It is the first map of the Kaiserschlacht Operation, in which the German army attacks across it toward Amiens.

Trenches are for moving, not for sitting: the open ground between them is where machine guns and artillery trucks kill. Travers is the decisive flag, a close-range fight in cellars and ruins that Assault and Medic classes dominate. Scouts on the ridges spot for both sides. In Operations, attackers who bunch in one trench lose the battalion; attackers who use smoke, tanks and the flanks take the village. The Armoured Train is strong on the straight and vulnerable when it stops.
