Have you ever played Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox and hit a wall, not on the road, but with achievements? I’ve been there. Some of them take real patience and skill. It’s not just about racing fast, it’s about pushing through some of the toughest in-game challenges.
If you’re trying to unlock achievements on Forza, it can be frustrating at times, but it’s also incredibly satisfying once you succeed. In this article, I’ll share my experience and tips to help you beat the odds, so you can win all the way!
You Could Say That I’m a Fan
One of the first achievements I tried in Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox is You Could Say I'm A Fan. You need to collect at least 25 cars from one maker and earn the full set bonus to get it. But some makers have more than 25 cars, so you have to get them all. Chevrolet has 26 cars, Ford has 29, Ferrari has 30, and Porsche has 32.
Chevrolet is the easiest choice because it has just over 25 cars. Most of them can be bought at the Autoshow, but the others require more time and effort. If you want to unlock this achievement without too much trouble, I’d start with Chevrolet.
Fit to Print
After I worked on You Could Say I'm A Fan by collecting cars, the Fit To Print is another tough challenge. You are required to photograph 200 different types of cars.
In the beginning, doing everything sounded too much and overwhelming. However, players can find rare vehicles in the Forza Event Lab. It was much easier and enjoyable to find pictures of cars. If you like collecting cars, this achievement is a cool way to see them all from a new angle.
Water Performance
After finishing the second one, I moved to Water Performance, a real skill test. You must earn three stars at two Trailblazer events: Puerta Petrea and La Marisma. The difficult part is to complete both steps within the time limit, around three and a half minutes.
Since it takes time to travel, you should get from one place to the other as soon and safely as possible by car. Rewinding is insufficient to stop the clock, so you must be precise and steady. With practice, it becomes very satisfying when you achieve it.
Chicken Dinner
One of my biggest challenges was achieving Chicken Dinner, which means I won the 12-person game of The Eliminator. In this game setting, players participate in a battle royale, which is perfect for players looking for big competitions.
You need some skill and a bit of luck to do that. Knowing where to spawn and using exchanges to upgrade my car was key. Securing a high-speed, tough vehicle right from the start gives you a better chance of winning.
I Have the High Ground
One interesting achievement is I Have The High Ground. You must win three Rival Events using the same car, but in three different performance classes, to unlock it. This means upgrading your vehicle and beating your rivals each time.
It sounds easy, but tricky since you must adjust your driving for each class. Picking a car that can be upgraded well helps a lot. It’s a fun way to test your driving skills with your favorite ride.
Min, Meet Max
One achievement that takes real time and effort is Min, Meet Max. To get it, you must finish all the Seasonal Championships in a Festival Playlist Series for every season on Forza, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
Since each season lasts about a week, this means playing through the events over a full month. It might sound simple, but it needs patience and commitment. Pacing myself and enjoying each season’s challenges made completing it easier.
Treasure Hunter
I also had to face Treasure Hunter, where you must find and unlock all treasures in a given Series. Looking for places to purchase shipping supplies may initially seem challenging due to the amount of searching involved. However, patience and exploration are needed for it to become something simple.
Be sure to search every sector on the map and try to solve each puzzle. Uncovering justice takes patience, so spend enough time and enjoy the steps you take.
Unlimited Prowess!
My final major achievement is being Unlimited Prowess! To get it, you have to complete round three in all five Horizon Arcade themes, including Speed, Drift, Chaos, Wreckage, and Air. Since the themes change, you have to use different tactics to succeed.
Waiting is key since only two events happen at a time, and there is a rest period before another round. You prove your mastery of the Horizon Arcade by completing all the themes.
Forza Horizon 5 is more than just racing. It also has hard goals that push your skills. Some are tricky to get, like taking photos of cars or winning online races. They may take time, but they’re worth it.
I’ve played for hours and know how tough it can be. But if you keep going, you can unlock impressive achievements on Forza and be proud of what you’ve done. Keep driving. Beat the hard ones. Make your Gamerscore count!
