In this series, we’re introducing a set of snappable asphalt pieces used to build the Horizon Oval Circuit. These can be found in a new category called “Racing.” [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/2d7d92457517e41e33deb331232671823b0d2431.jpg[/img] In addition, five new props featuring lights and a backdrop, ideal to build a photo studio, can be found in the “Decorations” tab. [h2]Pathfinder Challenges[/h2] Prove your mastery of Forza Horizon 5’s map in all-new Pathfinder Challenges. A total of 12 unique routes highlighted by markers have been added to Free Roam, with 3 available to complete in each week of the series. An associated accolade is also unlocked upon reaching the Pathfinder destination. Each season, the first accolade is automatically unlocked and pinning it will set a GPS marker to the start of the first route. They will be marked by a series of trail marker balloons, which will be green at the start and finish line, and red along the route. [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//40722422/f3380e24b84b19e9e47db08aadb97e4d2784b995.jpg[/img] Once the first route has been completed, a second accolade will be unlocked, however it will not be marked on your GPS – you'll need to refer to the accolade description to find out where the next one starts. This also applies to the third accolade that is unlocked upon completion of the second route. Once all 3 routes in a week have been finished, a Treasure Chest is unearthed near the end of the third route. By achieving all the Pathfinder accolades, a new Player Badge and the 1953 Morris Minor Series II Traveler is unlocked.
