Just be very mindful of your surroundings and get as accustomed as possible to bobbing-and-weaving through forested areas. Depending on their driving skills, they could very well hit a solid object, and that brief mistake can give you enough of a lead to grab the win. Chances are, the race will take you through an area of the map with rough terrain. If your opponent is in a more powerful car, don’t assume that you’ll lose the race immediately. Thus, keep your finger on the brake/e-brake incase you need to quickly change direction. Fight: Going back to the head-on scenario, the direction of the race can either be in the direction you’re already traveling or theirs.In other words, if you see another car, assume they’re going to challenge you. You can try to outmaneuver them by using rough terrain (large rocks, unbreakable trees/structures, bodies of water) but that may not always work. If they’re in a faster car and are more on the aggressive side, they’ll likely hunt you down. Keep an eye on your minimap to spot another player before they even get close enough. Flight: If a car is coming at you head on, trying to change trajectory may not always help.Depending on the player, they may or may not decide to challenge you. Due to the sheer size of the map, you can go a good while without encountering anyone. Fight or flight? - The next layer to The Eliminator’s gameplay is that of engaging the other drivers.Making the most of The Eliminator in Forza Horizon 5 You’ll find yourself off the pavement more than on it when you’re racing, especially when it comes down to the Final Showdown. Even though some of the better cars in The Eliminator are absolute bullets on the street, they’ll have a hard time driving over dirt. Grabbing the right kind of car - Simply put, always gravitate towards the offroad ready options when it comes to finding new cars around the map.Of course, you still have to look out for the other players in the process. Constantly shift between roadways and offroading to scope out as much of the safe zone as possible. That said, outside of populated areas, car drops will be very few and far between. Car drops are identified with large purple plumes of smoke.The best way to find them is to get a vantage point, which thankfully is all too easy in Forza Horizon 5’s very elevation-prone map of Mexico. So, again, keep on the lookout for structures around the map. Find more spawn locations - Even if you do happen to score a car drop in the opening moments of the match, chances are it won’t be a high level car.You at least want to get out of the VW Beetle that everyone starts with as soon as possible. There’s no “best” place to start because of the randomness. But, the more car drops in a given area, the more likely they’re going to be common/low-level. Very populated areas like the various Horizon Festival sites are likely to contain multiple drops at once, as well as cities like Guanajuato. They almost always spawn next to structures. These car drops are completely random, but there is some light consistency for where they’re likely to spawn. The VIP Membership gives away double credit rewards for each race, a weekly bonus Super Wheelspins and a few vanity items.By starting in Guanajuato, I found a Car Drop literally in the first few seconds of the match.
