Forza Horizon 4: General Discussion

[Silver Arrows]

In only my second game of Eliminator, I managed to make it to the final race and get a pretty decent payday in terms of influence and cash compared to normal races. I can definitely see this being useful.

You get to level 2 with your first entry in the Eliminator. Now I just wish I could napalm all the trees... Just kidding, I won a couple and I had fun! Very important to get the car drops.

 

[Milouse]

I won the Eliminator (on my second try).
I only did 1 battle (i played stealth then successfully guessed the way of the last rush to get a head-start)

The Supra is the first car in the game to have an instant super wheelspin mastery "perk".

And it's aptly named "Overnight parts from Japan"

 

[Dan Hill]

Not normally an online gamer but had a go at the Eliminator. Lost my first race, got in another lobby and won 2 lost 1 and was eliminated with 15 left. I quite enjoyed it personally.

I won an other Eliminator with the same strategy

 

[Silver Arrows]

Really, the best strategy in my short time playing this new mode is basically to be as non-confrontational as possiblr, and try to get something off road based or with AWD lest you need to blast through the trees.

Also been saved by the bell a couple of times with regards to getting challenged and then having the Final Showdown begin it's count down.

 

[-Fred-]

This honestly sounds like the kind of thing I'll just blast through to unlock the cars (mostly will do it for the Megane to be honest) and then not bother to touch again.

 

[Nacho Libre]

I just won my first Eliminator and that's probably because I know every road, trail, hill, dune and tree from south Edinburgh to the coast! (and I had a Cayenne)

 

[Milouse]

Nice exhaust sound for the Megane won @ Eliminator (got it after 6 or 7 games incl. 3 wins)

 

[TokoTurismo]

My first win in the Eliminator was satisfying! After playing for awhile, I finally got this beautiful thing. Well worth it!

Edit: My second win was with the Mini Cooper (lvl. 1) with me taking the flag against a high level driver. Thank lord for short cuts though.

 

[GTvsForza]

I'll be grinding Eliminator until I get all the cars. Megane, Porsche PO and Cougar!

Same! I would to also collect all achievements during the grind as well. 👍

That seems to be the ultimate challenge for Eliminator, win in the starting Mini, although it appears the Pacifist achievement is bugged right now(possibly the Heads Up one too.) because no ones got it and I’ve been in the final showdown twice with the Mini.

The Underdog achievement was one that did initially worry me, but then I somehow got it in an unintentional power move way.

Had a Level 5 Ranger, beat a Mini, ditched the Ranger FOR the Mini, then beat a level 6 Bentley with it.

As someone who’s only other Battle Royale experience was GTA5’s Motor Wars, It felt pretty good to play the Eliminator, but like a few others here, hope it doesn’t join the festival playlist in the same way that the Playground Games are currently done.

But if you had to say.. play 3 or 5 games of Eliminator each in game year like the monthly TT or Ranked Adventure, then that could be a fair compromise for all IMO.

How do you get the megane?

 

[GTvsForza]

Eliminator Level 10

Eliminator Level 10

Seems easy enough. Time to break out those blackout skills

Just thought I mention this for those who prefer the sneaky approach to BR modes.

If you come to a stop and wait a few seconds, your marker on the map goes dim and given that I spotted a Evo parked up and had no marker on the map, I believe it means you can hide and not be found and challenged so easily.

Let me know if that’s actually the case. 👍

Yeah, I think they even said that if you stay still you are hidden.

I won the Eliminator on my second try. I had moved up to the Ram Rebel TRX. Someone in a GT-R challenged me and lost so I got their car. Then it was just balls to the wall for the final race. It feels nice to come in first out of 66.

 

[GTvsForza]

Top 10 is enough for me

 

[Populuxe]

So much for hubris. I was eliminated early in the next game because I was on the west side of Derwent Water when the map shrunk. I had no way of getting back in time. Heed my warning! Never go west of Derwent Water!

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

All Eliminator is reminding of is how much I hate trees in racing games. Stupid useless trees! Always getting in my way to glory!

Also, I have no clue about what I'm doing, I don't even know how to find cars in this game.

 

[-Fred-]

Oh god the wastegate and blow off valve noises on the Poopra.

 

[maxi25]

Is the gifted S2000 special in any way? If not I'm just going to get rid of it.

I think it's just a special livery.

 

[Populuxe]

I don't even know how to find cars in this game.

Look for two or three small columns of purple smoke, usually around buildings or places of interest. Drive up to them and press X if it’s a car you want. Remember the Mini is level 1 and the highest level cars are level 10.

Gotcha. That's the main thing that is puzzling me, how finding cars even works. I noticed the level system and already did get a car on my first time playing, I just didn't know how to repeat that.

 

[Milouse]

Some players won them, so if it's bugged, it's not totally bugged.

Let me know if that’s actually the case. 👍

It works, thanks for the tip!
It's very handy to reach the final showdownn, especially for some achievements. Well, you'd better like stay still in the woods...

 

[Silver Arrows]

I do admit that it would be nice if there was more...sense to where Car Drops spawn, and there be a much better way to discern where Car Drops are on the mini map. Ala' Control Points in BFV's Firestorm, where one could see it on the map and also watch it be taken by someone, or themselves.
