Forzathon points and influence points Forza Horizon 4 Guide and Tips
Last update: 08 October 2018
In Forza Horizon 4 you will encounter two types of points - influence points and Forzathon points. They differ in functions and elements that can be unlocked by using them. We'll tell you how to earn points. In Forza Horizon 4, you earn points for everything you do, that are being used to level up, unlock rewards, perks, and to buy cars,
Influence Points
At the beginning the influence points are used to unlock the next season in the prologue. Then they are linked to a specific game mode and accumulate separately for each of them. After filling in the progress bar you advance to the next level of the competition, unlocking the prize and new challenges on the map. Influence points can be earned fast by finishing races (several thousand points for each) and breaking the tables hidden on the map with the value of 1000, 3000 and 5000 points. Some amounts also influence the climaxes of skills (drifting, side crashes, rubber burning, destruction of the environment, etc.) that are performed during the ride.
Forzathon Points
Forzathon Points are used for shopping in a special game store, where new content appears once a week in the form of cars (often not available anywhere else), cosmetic items and additional prize lotteries for subsequent levels. You earn Forzathon Points only for weekly and daily Forzathon challenges and time-limited Forzathon Live public events, which are only available in Horizon Life - the online mode of the game. Also, buying one of the houses will give you a double points bonus.
Number of points you can get:
- 100 for a weekly challenge;
- 30 for three daily challenges;
- 30 bonus points for passing a weekly challenge and seven daily challenges;
- 30 points for each completed Forzathon Live event.
CR Credits
Credits are used exclusively for car purchases (in the official festival showroom and auctions) and tuning parts. You can obtain them by finishing races and Horizon activities - stories and also thanks to the sale of your cars at auctions. You will also receive certain amounts for making your own liveries or tuning settings available for download.
By increasing the level of difficulty in general settings you can increase the number of credits gained. The VIP pass allows you to receive double the amount of credits for each race.
Skill Points
Skill points are earned simply by driving. Everything you do with your car - from very fast driving, to tire burning, destruction of the environment, driving sideways, clean driving, overtaking, avoiding a crash, collision, etc. - finally fills the circle of progress with skill points. Collecting them allows you to unlock the proficiency in each car (car mastery) and buy its advantages (perks). If you buy and set up an active Huntsman's Lodge, you will unlock special songs on the radio - skill songs. During this time you will earn double number of points for each achievement. The game itself will tell you which radio station is broadcasting the bonus hit.
NOTE:
Skill points are collected in general, but perks are purchased individually for each car you own - even for the same brand and model.
