The buggy is one of the most recognisable vehicles in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the battle royale game that popularised the genre after its release in 2017. Its lightweight, open frame and noisy engine made it a favourite for risky rotations across Erangel's open fields, and countless gameplay clips, streams and highlight reels turned its distinctive drive into shorthand for reckless PUBG travel. Even as the game added newer vehicles, creators kept returning to the buggy sound because it instantly reads as PUBG, whether the edit is serious, chaotic or purely comedic.
