Eliminator - Bad Luck or bugged

Forza Horizon Forza Horizon 5 FH5 Discussion

Not sure if it’s just pure bad luck every time I attempt the Eliminator or just pure bugged. Every time I challenge someone coming at me at a different direction (ie I’m heading north, they heading south) the race destination is ALWAYS opposite of me whether I’m on the same level car or lower level or higher level. BUT when someone challenges ME in the same manor, the destination is AGAIN opposite of me. I’ve never gotten a race destination that’s literally straight ahead of me. . Seriously, screw putting Eliminator challenges on daily’s and weekly’s.

Bad luck and bad strategy.
If you are in the middle of the circle it is usually random, so bad luck. But if you are driving to the border of circle, destination will be always behind you.
Basically try to avoid challanging people if you are in the middle (or at least challange people facing the same direction) + try to stay on the outskirts.

Still a very bad decision from the team organizing the events.

PVP rewards should NEVER being tied to winning. Not in a game where RNG has so much factors.

There is a a way to avoid that, just challenge others while you are driving at the border of the circle of death of the eliminator arena. That way the finish line could only be in the center of the area or next to it. If you challenging other players in the middle of the area, you most likely never have a clue where to go next.

Or just challenge me :wink: I almost have a 5 sec lag after being challenged or challenging anyone in eliminator. Today I managed to just see the finish line 3,2 km away and the race was already finished. I lost against a level 1 beetle who challenged me and I even didn’t had the chance to move towards the finish line. Got challenged, game lagged, destination shown up and zack I was eliminated…

Thanks for the tips and information, I guess I’ll try them out again later on this week.
