Not having time to come out, Forza Horizon 5 attracted the attention of numerous gamers. Many became interested in what this game represents. But it's not as simple as it seems at first glance. There are secrets that will help you get the most out of the gameplay. This article will discuss them.

Come back, moment!

The game has a useful function of rewinding time. Don't ignore it! It will come in handy if, for some reason, you missed a checkpoint. With this feature, you can save time and continue the fight for first place. This is especially useful if you have set the difficulty level to "Experienced" or higher.

Another tip regarding rewinding time. It's better to rewind by 2 sections because it will give you a little more time to regroup and continue the race. If you rewind by 1 section, the time for acceleration will be just a couple of seconds. The most important thing is that there are no penalties for using time rewind.

No "Road Signs"

When driving off the main roads, you may encounter wooden signs on dirt roads. They won't be marked on the map, at least until you drive past them. So, it is recommended to break these signs at the first opportunity. What will it give you? Experience points that are necessary for leveling up.

Rare Find?

In Forza Horizon 5, there are both modern cars and true rarities. And you can find them on the map. The rarities are hidden in old garages, so pay attention to them. The map has a hint in the form of a highlighted area where the rarity might be located. But you'll have to search for the exact spot yourself.

Once the rarity is found, the guys will take it to the workshop. After that, you just have to wait for the rare car to be ready. You'll know it when you hear the distinctive sound. The search for such a car is worth the time invested.

"Build it? I'll buy it!"

Not all players understand how to properly tune their cars. Especially newcomers. To avoid having to come up with your own tune, you can take advantage of the opportunity to buy ready-made tuning. But there are pitfalls here.

Before buying, read the description and try to decide if you need such tuning. Pay attention to the specifications. If you see an expensive tuning with a low rating, it's a reason to think about its usefulness. Usually, such an option significantly improves one characteristic of the car but worsens all others.

It's better to look for tuning where attention is paid to each characteristic.

We Need More Photos!

The photo mode is a very useful feature. It is this mode that allows you to receive good bonuses for completing the weekly achievement. This achievement involves taking a photo of your car in a specific place or against a specific backdrop.

To enter photo mode, you don't need much effort. There is an upward arrow on the gamepad. That's what you need to press.

Choosing is not an easy task

When you see the range of cars, your eyes literally wander. You want to immediately choose the coolest car and hit the road. But don't rush into it. A rational approach is needed here. Don't just rely on the car's specifications. Often, the most powerful car will look pale on a particular track. And it's all about the road's characteristics.

Pay attention to the tips given before each race. They will indicate which of the available cars is best suited for the track. But don't blindly rely on the hints, also try to weigh for yourself which characteristics can bring you victory. Each track has its own car with which you can compete for the first place, rather than just reaching the finish line.

Upgrade, upgrade, and upgrade again!

Each of your victories or successful tricks will be rewarded, including skill points. These points are used for upgrades. But there is a secret here.

Upgrade each car that you like the most separately. Don't try to cover the entire garage, as it will lead to nothing. But if you upgrade several cars, you can get very nice bonuses as a result.

Don't waste points on upgrading a whole skill tree.

Slower is faster!

This advice particularly applies to those who love high-speed racing. Keep in mind that in races, it will not only not help but also harm you. You won't be able to fit into a turn at full speed, and that threatens defeat in the race. It's better to make sure the arrow doesn't turn red. Because if you enter turns smoothly, that's already half the victory, if not more!

Where's my reward?

There is a very interesting section in the game called "Awards." It stores everything you earned for achievements and successes in the game. But you won't always promptly respond to notifications and visit this section to claim what's due to you. Especially if you get carried away. It's better to visit "Awards" on your own with a certain periodicity.

The importance of exploration

Don't just participate in races, as you have an extensive location full of surprises ahead of you. You just need to carefully explore it! Discovering the area provides necessary experience points, which you can confidently spend on upgrades. And that's not all that awaits attentive explorers in the world of Forza Horizon 5.

The secret of fast travel

It's no secret that you can quickly travel across the map using purchased houses. But that's not the only way. If you carefully study the game's location, you can see signs with the words "Fast Travel." Well, these signs will also help you quickly move between points on the map.

You just need to knock them down. But it takes effort because reaching them is often not easy at all. Aim to knock down all the signs because as a reward, you'll get free fast travel.

The cherry on top

There's a secret that applies to the DeLorean car. You can reduce its cost to as low as 15,000 credits! And here's what you need to do for that. Go to the car collection, then find the card that belongs to the DeLorean. It will be empty. Click on it and exit the collection.

Now go back in. Press "Y" on the gamepad. That's it, now you can buy the car for 15,000 credits. It's a bug, but why not take advantage of such an opportunity?
