Car mastery and perks in Forza Horizon 4 Forza Horizon 4 Guide and Tips
Last update: 15 October 2018
W This section of Forza Horizon 4 guide covers perks and car mastery. You will learn how to acquire points necessary to buy them and what perks can be unlocked. Below, you can also find a list of the most important perks for all cars.
Car mastery
Car mastery developed with unlocked perks is actually a list of additional bonuses for each car. Unlike the third Forza installment, where perks regarded the driver and applied for all cars, where each car has its own set of perks. Some of them can be used only 1 time - e.g. credits, influence points or prize draw, while others are permanent - e.g. 10% bonus to mastery points when demolishing the area or overtaking another car. You use skill points to unlock new perks. It is a good idea to purchase all perks for cars that you use most often.
How to earn skill points
Skill points can be earned for anything you do when driving. Each activity or trick, but also their combination, fills the skill points wheel. You gather them when driving any car to a common pool, however, you spend it separately for each vehicle.
