Creating Square Buffer in QGIS?

Question

I have a rectangular polygon I want to create another polygon that is 200 metres bigger in each direction from the original.

Is there a way to create a square buffer around the original polygon or another method to do this?

For extra info : this is only available for QGIS 3.X. There's no options as this one in the buffer tool of QGIS 2.18. – gisnside Feb 8 '19 at 13:39
