Forza Horizon 5 is a visual feast about cars. However, not everything in the game is so apparent. Therefore, players are asking questions like what is the difference between accolade points and experience points. In this article, we provide useful Forza Horizon 5 tips for beginners.
Forza Horizon 5 Tips
There are 3 progression tracks in Forza Horizon 5.
- Gain skill points to upgrade cars.
- Earn XP to buy new cars and in-game currency.
- Unlock and complete story missions.
How to unlock story missions in Forza Horizon 5?
You unlock story missions by earning accolade points. You earn Accolade points by doing the tasks in the game’s accolades menu. These points are tallied in the upper right corner of the Pause menu. When you reach the point that will open a new story mission, you can go to the game’s horizon adventure menu and pick a mission.
You can gain XP in many ways in the game. You earn XP by discovering new places, smashing XP boards, and completing events. Every time you earn XP, a notification appears on the screen. When you level up, you earn a wheel spin. These wheelspins give various rewards such as new cars or a significant amount of game credits. Your level is displayed at the top left of the pause menu next to your username.
As you drive in the game, you earn a skill score. When you fill the yellow tire-shaped gauge, you are rewarded with skill points. You can then use them to upgrade your car.
How to fast travel to any road in the game?
Once you unlock and purchase the Buenas Vistas house, you can fast travel to any road or anywhere in the game. To do this you need to complete the Guanajuato Expedition story mission. The house will then appear in the southern part of the Baja area. However, we would like to remind you that the price of the house is quite expensive with 2 million credits. You also pay a small fee each time you fast travel.
When you start the game, if you play the first mission in each festival, a ton of events and challenges will be unlocked. All types of events will start appearing on the map. For example, when you complete the Jungle Expedition at the Horizon Wilds festival, dirt racing events are unlocked. Another advantage of doing this is that you can use the festival outposts as a fast travel location.
We do not recommend doing jumps in the game, even if it looks cool and gives skill points. Because when you land on the ground, you lose a lot of speed. We recommend avoiding jumps as much as possible while racing.
