Nextbots became a staple of Garry's Mod and later sandbox horror videos, where image-based enemies chase players at high speed with no warning. Smii7y, a gaming creator known for chaotic funny-moment videos with friends, helped carry that style to a wider audience. Clips built around sudden kills turned the EX kill cue into a reusable shorthand for getting caught. Like the Fortnite death sound, it now travels far beyond its original gameplay, appearing in edits where any abrupt defeat needs an instantly recognisable audio punch.
