  6. Summary

PUBG officially lists its vehicles on the Vehicles page in game-info, and some of them are tied to specific maps — confirmed by the official pages for Vikendi, Deston, Sanhok, and Paramo.

Ground vehicles

The official Vehicles page lists at least 16 models of ground transport: Buggy, UAZ, Dacia, Coupe RB, Pickup, Mirado, Van, Rony, Zima, Pony Coupe, Porter, Pillar Security Car, Food Truck, BRDM-2, Blanc, Pico Bus. This is the backbone of mobility in most matches — these are the vehicles players use most often to cross the large maps like Erangel or Miramar, covered in our piece on every PUBG map.

Two-wheeled and light transport

A separate officially named group includes Motorbike, Dirt Bike, Quad, Scooter, Tukshai, and Mountain Bike. This is faster but less protected transport — with lower durability than full cars, though the official page doesn’t publish exact durability figures.

Signature vehicles on individual maps

Several maps are officially tied to a unique vehicle not found anywhere else:

  • Vikendi — the Snowmobile, built for the map’s snowy terrain.
  • Deston — the Air Boat for its waterways, and Ascender/Utility Parachute gear for fast vertical movement between building floors.
  • SanhokTukshai, a light vehicle in the two-wheeled group.
  • Paramo — the only map where a helicopter is directly named among the available vehicles.

This tie-in means the way you move around depends heavily on which map a match is on — aerial mobility is officially available on Paramo, while on every other map, vertical movement is limited to ground or water transport.

How vehicles shape match tactics

The presence of a signature vehicle on a given map is directly tied to its geography: the Snowmobile on Vikendi offsets the difficult terrain, the Air Boat on Deston gives access to its waterways, and the helicopter on Paramo is the only officially confirmed way to fly quickly in the game. This lines up with the fact that every map is officially built with its own landscape and its own set of mechanics, rather than being just a different texture over the same underlying framework.

What isn’t officially stated

  • No official table of speed or durability for each model. The Vehicles page names the lineup of transport but not a format for comparative stats.
  • No confirmation that every listed vehicle is available on every map at once. The map-specific tie-ins point directly to the opposite — the set of available vehicles varies by location.
  • No official data on fuel consumption or range. The sources we checked describe the fact that a vehicle exists, not its operating specs.

Summary

PUBG’s vehicle roster is officially split into universal transport (available across many maps) and map-specific transport — the Snowmobile, the Air Boat, the helicopter, and Tukshai are tied to particular locations and form part of each map’s unique identity, rather than being interchangeable entries on one general list.
