There’s a lot to do in Forza Horizon 5, whether you’re just exploring Mexico, smashing up boards for more XP, collecting cars or racing. But the main de facto goal for the campaign is to reach the Hall of Fame. It’s not too difficult – you essentially have to earn 200,000 Accolade Points.
However, there’s no set path for earning Accolade Points. You could partake in races and rack them up, play online, discover landmarks, complete Speed Traps and Danger Signs, complete different story chapters and so on. Accolades can be earned from pretty much anything and everything. Check the Accolades menu every now and again to check your progress on them.
As you play the campaign, new events will be unlocked which, upon completion, open up new outposts for the Festival. Once every outpost option has been unlocked and you have the required Accolade Points, you’ll receive an invite to the Hall of Fame. Travel to the Horizon Festival HQ to do that and you’re in. It also unlocks a new set of Accolades, providing some nice post-game content in addition to, well, everything else in the game.
How to Unlock Fast Travel
For as fun as it can be to explore this massive world, sometimes you just want to quickly fast travel to places. Forza Horizon 5’s fast travel is a little weird though – it needs to be unlocked. The first step in this process is to garner enough Accolade Points to unlock more Horizon Adventure Tickets. Pick up the Horizon Street Scene Ticket and proceed to complete events in it till the Guanajuato Expedition is unlocked.
Once the Expedition is completed, the Buenas Vistas house (located near Dunas Blancas) becomes available to purchase for two million Credits. If you’re having trouble earning the Credits, then partake in more races, unlock more Wheelspins (which give Credits as a random payout), sell cars in the Auction House and more.
After acquiring the house, you’ll receive the fast travel perk, thus properly unlocking fast travel for anywhere on the map. There’s a cost involved but destroying Fast Travel Bonus Boards will reduce it by 200 Credits each. Destroy all 50 of them and Fast Travel is free.
