Forza Horizon 5 Tips to Elevate Your Gameplay
Maximize your skills with these tips for Forza Horizon 5 and start earning points at the Horizon Festival. With a mix of racing formats, from high-speed road races to off-road rallies, becoming a versatile driver is key if you aim to join the Hall of Fame at the Mexico Horizon Festival. Mastering the game mechanics and your driving technique will set you on the right track.
Beyond racing, Forza Horizon 5 offers various activities like PR Stunts, Horizon Stories, and Barn Finds, where you can expand your car collection. Whether you’re new to the FH series or a seasoned player, here are ten essential tips to enhance your experience in this thrilling open-world racing game.
Adjust Your Driving Assists for Comfort
As you start Forza Horizon 5, you might find the driving mechanics a bit tricky. This is because the game defaults to a range of driving assists. To make your experience smoother, consider customizing these assists. You can access them through the Campaign menu by pausing the game, clicking on Settings, and navigating to the Difficulty section.
From my experience with several Forza Horizon titles, here are my recommended assist settings for enjoyable driving:
- Braking: Anti-Lock On
- Steering: Simulation
- Traction Control: On
- Stability Control: Off
- Shifting: Automatic
Difficulty and Assists Influence Rewards
Adjusting your assists and difficulty level can impact how your vehicle handles and what rewards you earn. For instance, maintaining the above settings with an Average Drivatar difficulty grants you a 25% increase in Credit (CR) payouts. Turning off Traction Control can boost this to 35%, while switching to manual shifting can raise it to 50%.
Personal preferences like the Driving Line and Damage settings offer an added challenge with no extra rewards. For a more straightforward experience, keep the Driving Line set to Full and Damage set to Cosmetic.
Accolade Points Drive the Horizon Adventure Campaign
Forza Horizon 5 introduces an engaging narrative through the Horizon Adventure campaign, allowing players to decide when and how to tackle various activities. To unlock new chapters in the Horizon Adventure, you need to accumulate Accolade Points. Essentially, these points serve as the main progression path, enabling access to new event series.
You can earn Accolade Points by participating in races and other activities. To check your progress, open the map and glance at the top-right corner of the screen. The Accolades page provides a complete list of challenges, rewards, and bonus items, including cars like the Forza Horizon 5 Revuelto.
Enjoy Unrestricted Exploration
Despite having a structured campaign, Forza Horizon 5 embraces the essence of a driving playground, granting you the freedom to play at your pace. While the Horizon Adventure may introduce some limitations initially, you’ll quickly unlock a variety of racing series and events.
You can approach the game however you like. You might start with the Horizon Wilds Dirt Racing series, but feel free to switch between different racing types as you progress. All activities can be replayed to complete any missed Accolade challenges.
Use Map Filters to Clear Your View
As you unlock diverse activities in Forza Horizon 5, your map may become cluttered with icons. To simplify navigation, pressing RB/R1 will allow you to toggle map icons on or off, helping you focus on your preferred activities.
Weather and Time of Day Affect Driving Dynamics
Forza Horizon 5 features a dynamic day-night cycle, seasonal weather, and conditions that can significantly alter your driving experience. If you’re new to the series, be aware that colder nights and wet roads may impact your car’s handling. For instance, rainy roads can cause skidding, making it essential to brake early.
Different seasons also change the terrain of the map, introducing conditions that may require specific vehicles. Remember: the fastest cars may not always be the best choice in inclement weather.
Wheelspins Provide Cars and Credits
The Forza Horizon 5 car roster is vast, offering many expensive options, but Wheelspins are an excellent way to earn cars and Credits for free. Although the cars you receive may not always be top-tier, they help fill out your collection. Earning CR through Wheelspins can also boost your account balance, making it easier to save for high-ticket items.
You can obtain Wheelspins through races and Accolade rewards. Super Wheelspins are even better, providing triple the rewards, though they are rarer than regular Wheelspins.
Utilize Skill Points for Each Car
Each car features a skill tree called Car Mastery. This system enables you to unlock perks that enhance your driving experience and rewards. Skill Points can be earned by executing tricks and stunts. However, crashing can disrupt your Skill Chain, so aim for Ultimate Skill Chains for maximum points.
Don’t forget to spend your Skill Points wisely to unlock various benefits, including XP boosts and more. You can access the Car Mastery tab from the Cars section to apply your Skill Points.
Invest in Houses for Unique Benefits
While houses may seem trivial since you can’t enter them, they provide valuable perks. Purchasing each house yields rewards like Wheelspins and Barn Find rumors, plus you can set your home location for game launches.
Certain houses offer permanent advantages. For example, the Buenas Vistas beach house allows you to fast travel anywhere on the map, while the Casa Bella house plays Skill Songs that double your Skill Chain points. The Hotel Castillo property provides a daily free Wheelspin when you log in.
Scout Areas with Drone Mode
Make use of Drone Mode to explore the landscape without being confined to your car. This feature, found under the Creative Hub tab in the pause menu, is especially helpful for locating Barn Finds. You can also use it to scout routes for different stunts like Drift Zones and Danger Signs.
