@ManteoMax

Correct, while most horns are unlocked with both perks from the Skill Shop, the Halo/Boat/Train/Comedy/Arooga horns will still be locked. I purchased the Car Horn Unlock Accelerator and now have access to them. If a player can successfully accomplish the first three Forzathon challenges then all horns will be unlocked with no need for the DLC Horn Unlock.

The Warthog has been made available to Halo players via gift DLC code, which many have auctioned off. Players without the DLC and who miss the Forzathon event can still buy the Warthog from the Auction House and drive it. Presumably that’s also the case with the upcoming Ford #17 Falcon and Nissan Sylvia.

Are you sure people that don’t have the code for the warthog can buy in the auction house? I attempted to buy a pre-order vehicle that I do not have a DLC code for in the auction house and it wouldn’t even let me view the auction

Just to clarify: can the horns you are able to unlock from Forzathon also be unlocked by purchasing the horn accelerator pack?
The vehicles on the other hand are unique vehicles you cannot buy in the game.

It seems they have changed the requirement for A Bad Joke to playing infected instead of wiining flag rush.
