The Buggy is the only real off-road vehicle other than the ATV in Far Cry 2.

The buggy is the fastest and most manoeuvrable vehicle in the game. Unfortunately, the speed of this vehicle is paid for by its low armour factor. The buggy is susceptible to light enemy fire — six to ten rounds from a truck-mounted machine gun will slow the buggy down. It is not recommended that the buggy be used as an assault vehicle; instead, it should be used as a means of transport or exploration. Buggies are often found at either bus stops or safe houses. Buggies are never driven by enemies.

When being pursued by a vehicle with a mounted weapon, keep in mind that the engine of the vehicle is mounted on the back of the chassis. The design is poor from a defensive standpoint, because as an enemy fires upon a buggy from behind, they are firing at and usually hitting the engine. So, when being chased, it is always best to eject from the vehicle. And you should exit near some sort of solid cover, because the pursuing enemy will likely try to run you over. If no cover is available, attempt to use your vehicle as a barrier against the enemy vehicle. Unlike in most vehicles, the player will prefer to exit via the right side of the car, so by placing the buggy sideways with the right side of the buggy facing away from the oncoming enemy vehicle before exiting, the player has a greater chance of the buggy's taking the brunt of the enemy vehicle's impact.

Multiplayer

The buggy is rarely seen in multiplayer, but when it's available it can be utilized for its amazing speed to quickly navigate the map and reach objectives quickly. As the buggy is fragile and has no mounted weapons, it is a very poor choice for a direct assault. Its best use is as transportation.

Trivia

• The Buggies model seems to take styling ques from the Chenowth FAV.
