What is a Skill Song?

I’ve done a lot of farming with skill song and the best way to do this is by playing the Opera radio station.

Rock station Disco station and others the songs are 2-3 minutes long, some are double points, not sure how long cooldown between songs.

You may not be in Opera but if you want to farm skill points play the Opera radio station and just turn music volume little lower or just try to play without it getting to you.

Opera songs are 7-9 minutes long and every 2nd or 3rd song is double points,great way to rack up skill points.

Anyone who knows music in real life knows reg songs are only 2-3 mins, opera and classical songs are pretty long.

Bamburgh beach is good spot to farm with skill song so is dragstrip

Drifter cars or any car that has speed boosts

I still cant figure out exactly how to trigger a skill song. I sat around waiting for an hour for one to come on while doing the weekly challenge. Is there a trick to getting one to play?

You have to buy the “Skill Song” House first…

I’m old school… I would like something like:

“I can’t drive 55!” by Sammy Hagar

“Wasted” by Def Leopard (for Multiplayer)

I don’t know, call me crazy, I just think this would work for this game…

I have no properties left to buy and very few cars, I completed everything on the 6th. What I have been doing is switching through the stations while waiting a few seconds to see if the DJ jumps into say a skill song is coming. But its not a consistent, sometimes it works and other times it wont

Unlocked this skill on my 1980 RENAULT 5 Turbo Forza Edition and don’t know what it does, or what is a skill song?

Skill songs play on the radio the DJ will call it out and while the song is playing you can get up to X10 instead of whatever was for the car originally (X5 X6 or X7)

Skill songs dont get activated until you buy the house with the skill song perk though

Is there any other indication that skill song is playing for those that have muted the DJ?

Yes, it tells you a skill song is playing, upper left corner of the screen.

Top-centre (above where the skill-chain score goes), with a timer for how much longer is left to play in the song. And if you change stations whilst a skill song is playing it’ll tell you to change back.

Also, if you want to unlock skill songs, you’d have to buy “The Huntsman Lodge” player home for 750k credits. (Assuming that you don’t have it unlocked it yet)

Oooooha… i think, i have a bug… i’ve buyed the huntsman many days ago and never recieved a skillsong O_o
NEVER! since the release…

Try doing it in horizon solo. I never had a skill song while playing online. Idk if others have or not but I definable get them more in solo the horizon life. Also stay on a station. Like the msb247 said it takes a couple of songs to get one.

My bad O_o I thougt, i’ve buyed the house… couse the achievement of buying all houses was 8/10 (but the castle 15million and the other house for 10million doesent count).
So i buyed the house und now i get the skillsongs :slight_smile:

I usually tune in to Timeless Classics radio because the music tracks can be quite long (over 5 minutes) and I can fit in 3 or 4 50,000x10 scores. The Renault already goes to muliplier 7 and it’s a pity with a skill song the multiplier only goes to 10. I’ve maxed the skill perks on the Renault and it does build very quickly when a skill song is playing. I got a 2 million score recently and could have got more but from a skill perks point of view it’s not significant - the maximum skill perks in a chain are 10 which are achieved at 500,000. That’s approx 72,000 x7 or 50,000 x10.

I’ve never had a skill song playing when I first switch on the radio, it’s usually track 3 or 4.

i cannot comprehend why we cannot “request” skill songs anymore… give us a bone in FH3, then just rip it away in FH4.

I thought in an Open World Game, u can play it “u’r way”…, but then they rather want u to wait another hour for the next one to play, so u can rather do their races/forzathons in the meantime…

sumtimes we just like to drive around & not really do anything & maybe just wanna fill up on the skill points that depletes so quick in this game now, to use on the hordes of duplicate cars our garage gets spammed with.

Which Cars have SKILL SONG Bost? I know it’s M6 Forza Edition and Renault 5 Turbo FE. Are there any other car with song boost?
