Fast Travel and Drivatars Forza Horizon 3 Guide
Last update: 17 October 2016
Fast Travel
Basically, Fast Travel is available at the beginning of the game, the moment you'll unlock a festival point. Initially, you can only travel between those points, and the cost of such journey is about 10.000 credits. This price can be easily reduced by destroying tables with lighting on a green background - each of them lowers the price by about 200 credits. To use Fast Travel, open the map, choose the festival you want to travel to, and press Fast Travel on the bottom bar, or press the respective button.
Note - by choosing the option to travel to a nearest festival from the travel menu, you will be teleported there instantly without paying anything! So use Fast Travel only to travel between different festivals, and not when you want to get to a nearby one, for example only to change a car.
Fast Travel allows you to travel to any place on the map, but first you need to unlock a special ability that allows it. You can find it in upgrades: Festival Boss -> Fast travel anywhere service (row 2, column 1, price - 15 points).
Drivatars
Drivatars are a special feature of the game. When you aren't facing real players in the races, you also aren't facing real AI, but Drivatars. They are still controlled by the computer, but their driving skills, turn taking, acting in difficult situations or aggressiveness level are based on what the computer have learned by watching a given player. Such solution allows us to face varied enemies in one race, which makes the difficulty level higher, while the race itself becomes more unpredictable.
As you progress in the game, your Drivatar will appear in other players' games. The frequency of appearances is dependent on many factors: e.g. what difficulty level are you using. For "appearing in other players' games" in this form you receive credits, which are sent to your account even when not playing the game.
