Help with list of skills and combos

Forza Horizon Forza Horizon 5 FH5 Discussion

would anyone be willing to help me write a full list of skills in the game?

I just posted in a suggestions thread to get an in-game list (clearly never going to happen as this issue has been around for over ten years) and am trying to put together the skills that are there in a sort-of once-and-for-all way

it’s a bit of a job but I think the best way to do it is do a table and maybe share on google docs or something

or write a list here that gets updates with whether it’s clear what it means

suggestions?

it really would be useful to have a definitive list in the game, PG-T10 presumably do in fact have a list that could be put there very easily but as noted I’ll eat my hat if it ever does happen

Doesn’t cover everything, but most of it.

yes, that was one of the two I have found - @EamonEejit put the thing in the suggestions thread

it’s still unsatisfactory, though, so I thought compiling a comprehensive list based on what actually occurs in the game might be a useful project

I think my favourite is “Fruit Salad” when you knock dowm a yellow post at a speed zone.

is that definitely in horizon 5?

not sure that I’d seen it but I haven’t been looking

there was one in horizon 3 and there were fruit stands everywhere in horizon 4

Yes definitely a speed zone yellow post hit.

weird - but not a speed trap post, it seems!

something else gives a Fruit Salad, up near the telescope there are some cones in place of a missing fence panel, just to the east of the telescope and a digger, there are cones, a light, a wheelbarrow and a couple of other things I haven’t quite identified - drive through that lot and a Fruit Salad pops up

just worked it out - there are blue objects a bit like half a bonus barrel, they are bags/containers with handles containing . . . rope I think - they also give Fruit Salad
