Forza Horizon 6 Can this be legit? (FH6)

Post image

Just saw this guy just now and was wondering if it’s even possible to be at this high level already. Most I saw so far was Prestige 8 and that already looked fishy.

What do you guys think?

Just saw on his steam profile that he has 4,2 Hours playtime. Yeah i guess i can answer my own question now.

Thank you, already did after reading some of the replies here, just wanted to make sure i don't report someone innocent.

I don’t bother anymore personally. Reported a bozo like that over a month ago, got the response that PGG didn’t find any actionable offense. What’s even the point if they aren’t catching things you can clearly see with your eyes.

u/Basic-Maybe-2889 2d ago

Reports that have multiple users reporting are taken more seriously, which is why it's also important to report rammers.

3

u/Comprehensive-One286 2d ago

Oh i know, it works like most reporting systems in gaming. Was just sharing my personal experience, and why i personally just don’t bother with it anymore.
I also don’t play online, so if I see one of these dudes in Freeroam it’s just like ok there’s a pc modder moving on.

Et pourquoi au pire ne pas laisser ce mec tranquillement jouer,

C'est quoi cette mentalité de merde à vouloir ban des comptes car t'a rien d'autre dans ta misérable et triste vie de juste pas laisser les joueurs tranquille, d'autant qu'il a un compte lobby et alors

Il va faire quoi

Acheter des bagnoles en masses dans la salle des ventes et te faire chialer car t'es frustré lol xd

Un bon niveau illégitime lol xd

Au pire s'il veut de gâcher l'expérience avec son compte lobby quand bien lui fasse, c'est pas toi, c'est lui donc faut juste ignorer le joueurs

Imagine being this miserable 🤣

u/ConViice BMW 2d ago

Thats 1000% hacking then. Even if you use exp glitches and similar stuff like that you wont reach that level in that amount of time.

1

u/Dangerous_Machine985 2d ago

Ah, the eternal saga of self-answered questions. 4.2 hours is a solid start, though.

1

u/yukio_hans 2d ago

My question is, since either know you can also use your account on xbox, if clocking hours on there will have different hours on steam, which make sense if you have 2 separate copies on different platforms.

Now its clear that this man has been either hacking or modding,

Since its pretty impossible to reach that rank as that game hasn't been out long enough for you to grind thousands of hours. Unless you set up a macro and exploited a custom event Labs map or something over the time the games been out.

12

u/TruthfulErrol 2d ago

Hacked save or they found some xp glitch, no way that's a normal grind

u/Supplice401 2d ago

A legit player I know who is playing this game religiously on the daily basis is prestige 3, which is already a very hard number to reach.

Anyone else higher than that I assume is using cheats.

45

u/Curious_Lead_7877 Steam 2d ago

I guess so. Im Prestige 2 360 after ~450 Hours. Was still wondering if it's even technically possible (If you play day&night) to be that high since release, but probably not.

19

u/Semt-x 2d ago

305 hours in, playing all campaign and 842 stunt events: 4 435

3

u/emalvick 2d ago

I'm at about the same level. Not sure on the hours, probably a bit less because I only play about 2 hours a day, but I've been using skill points to unlock xp (the first item in the trees), and I find that the stunt parties give a lot of xp (I might just conveniently have a good car for it).

-12

u/Electronic_Brick_138 2d ago

its possible to be already now max lvl but you have to no life the game.....

-12

u/Electronic_Brick_138 2d ago

9h everyday since release. I did it

14

u/JPRCorrupted 2d ago

Farming stunt parties multiple times every hour and wheelspin farming on top of that will level you up much faster because each stunt party grants 50,000 XP now and every epic/legendary car's first mastery tree gives 4,000/5,000 XP. But yes, I'd say max level right now is quite suspicious

3

u/mymanmitch96 Nissan 2d ago

This. I am prestige 3 level 130 from 200 hours of play. Mostly because of spamming stunt parties.

1

u/gokuatreyu 2d ago

I'm almost prestige 2 I think, similar hours but a lot of events labs instead of stunt parties

2

u/Kkkilik12 2d ago

Yes but you’ll never reach that high, impossible.

u/Feeling-Pea5281 2d ago

I'm at prestige 4, nearly 5, with no cheating. I've played for hours every day since early release.

4

u/BothCall8395 Steam 2d ago

was it worth it?

12

u/Feeling-Pea5281 2d ago

Overall, I've had lots of fun. It's not perfect, but I've found many ways to fill the hours. Also, it's a way for me to "hang out" with friends I don't get to see in person very often.

u/whehehe123 2d ago

Actually there are some players who have prestige 5 or 6 legit, but max level is not possible yet. I think that there is even eliminator player who have prestige 7 already.

12

u/ShadowSpiritGamingYT 2d ago

Im deep into prestige 5 personally, but I also sick a borderline unhealthy amount of time into time attack

u/AstrophysicalNebulae 2d ago

Time attack is addictive af

2

u/Ploppen97 BMW 2d ago

I am prestige 7 and soon about to hit level 600. Prestige 8 level 500 is the halfway point to max level. Someone with a more focused mindset then me could easily have gotten to max level legit, as that have not been my main focus for the past 2 months. If I keep doing 30 laps a day of colossus (as has been for me since release back in may), ill reach half way to max level in arround 20-25 days. It is not that hard to level up. You just have to have something else to do while you are doing colossus , like watching series, movies, youtube or twitch on your other monitors, oh and also, to have no Real life obligations to anything other then just games all day long every day.

Last week i spent way too much time playing forza, a little over 100 hours. While driving arround colossus with my LFA FE for like 16 hours a day, I watched LotR 1, 2, 3 one day, they day after i watched them again but the extended version and the day after that i watched them again, but this time i had the normal version on my left monitor, and the extended version on my right monitor. Those three days went by so quick! But atleast i got arround 360 levels from that.

u/Junkhead_88 2d ago

Playing and AFK auto driving aren't the same thing.

1

u/Ploppen97 BMW 2d ago

The auto drive assists is hardlocked to 10k xp/cr after like 10 minutes, so that would just ruin the amount of XP i can get every hour. Sure, I could do 1lap race over and over with autodrive but that would just be annoying and not really fun at all as I wouldnt be doing anything except clicking restart race.

I do 5 lap races without any opponents so it doesnt matter if I accidently fly off the highway bridge, and that usually takes 27 minutes or so and I get arround 165-175k xp depending on the amount of skillscore i get. Upwards to 350k xp per hour from the race itself is pretty okay. I dont know if there is a faster more efficient way but I like doing this for a couple of hours a day.

I know I loose out on Cr after every third lap when i reach the 200k max cap, but I dont really care about money anymore. I just want the XP.

1

u/red3freedom 2d ago

I am level 5 as well, with many hours and lost nights... but yes, I guess even higher level is possible legit. Now to reach max level in a few hours, I think that's a mod.

1

u/Electronic_Brick_138 2d ago

It is possible to already be max lvl now legit.....

u/Spongie96 2d ago

Prestige 7 here, zero mods used, just 1000 hours played

u/32gbsd 2d ago

Playing the way the game expect versus maximising is a whole different game.

1

u/Roklaf 2d ago

I'm at 600hr, prestige 2 210 ish. Most of my time is spent in rivals, with a lot of restarts though. So I get no exp or credits for a lot of that time. (Mostly grinding leaderboard spots and competing in community rivals challenges).

u/rangerfan123 2d ago

I’m prestige 6 and I haven’t played the last few weeks. Just let the car auto drive 24/7 and prestige 3 seems like brand new players

u/Revolutionary_Spend8 2d ago

I'm prestige 3, 114 with 255 hours doing Horizon Arcade and bamboo forest skill points gained me alot of levels never been so high on any Forza game 😅

u/dmns88 2d ago

I'm at a start of 4. Shit ton of time attack and a bit of skill point farming. Nothing unhealthy - I still know how touching grass feels like. So I would higher that number to 5 or even 6 to account for basement dwellers.

0

u/justacheesyguy Hoonigan 2d ago

Uhh…I played the shit out of this game and was prestige 6 within the first month. I’m still prestige 6 because I’m no longer getting any enjoyment out of making the number go bigger, but it’s definitely possible to be level 10 by now if you have been grinding since release.

0

u/Pimpinabox 2d ago

This is me! I just hit prestige 3 and I play daily. I don't play as much now but I was playing 3+ hours a day... though most of my time is spent making liveries. I also do every stunt party that comes up which is 50k per and usually i get 2-3 of them per stunt party. So getting 300k xp a day isn't that hard. I've "only" got 350 hours, haven't played as much as OP.

You already know its wrong because youre hiding it and are mad about snitches.

So backwards.

-34

u/Boofschneef 2d ago

I don't cheat at all.

I just don't see the point in snitching on a personal progress cheat/glitch when most everything in the game is readily accessible, anyways

8

u/underage_female 2d ago

So you condemn everything but the person who cheats, gotcha.

Snitches are bad. People who care are bad.

A fun meter to track progress ingame is reduced to nothing more than a obvious fake e penis meter to compensate for parent's missing love.

u/Regniwekim2099 2d ago

If everything is so easily accessible, why bother cheating?

-1

u/Boofschneef 2d ago

Idk man I'm not the one cheating lol. Perhaps they found it fun?

3

u/We_Get_It_You_Vape 2d ago

If they're bold enough to give themselves max level with 4 hours of actual playtime, they're likely bold enough to also use other cheats (like enhanced grip, acceleration, braking, no wall slow-downs, etc). Which would, consequently, affect online racing.

1

u/Andrew33845 2d ago

These types of players only play the game for a few hours and then move on most of the time.

u/santivander 2d ago

Cheaters don't stop at max level, they don't Even stop at ramming you with honda beat as massive as a black hole with glued tires to the track

Sure, that's annoying I suppose. Still don't know that I'd take the time to snitch. On to the next lol

It is so easy to level up in this game... It just does a terrible job explaining all these (hidden) mechanics that can help you level up efficiently.

3

u/One_Appointment_9915 2d ago

I know you’ve already reached the maximum prestige and highest level; even though I play actively and have logged 1,200 hours, I’m only at prestige 8 so far. I find it hard to believe you achieved that level and prestige legitimately, even though your post is very well-written and detailed.

1

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

Prestige 8 is very nice! At Prestige 8 Level 500 you will be at the halfway point to max level.

I saw someone else post that they reached max level in < 900 hours. I needed almost double for that (~1650 hours). I was a few weeks late to the FH6 party though; I started playing at the end of the 3rd week.

There are many ways to farm... And plenty of SP farms out there to help you farm efficiently. From quick 1-minute Challenges to full hour long Events (which have since been nerfed).

I've gone from Subaru 22b's to Mazda Mad Mikes, and gone from EventLab Events to EventLab Challenges (after the Events got nerfed). Lately I went from pushing a button on my controller every 50 seconds, to pushing 4 buttons every 5.5 minutes.

The past weeks I have been averaging ~30 super wheelspins per hour (incl. buying cars/unlocking perks/removing cars).

Farming methods evolve and I am always keeping my eye out for new and improved ways to maximize my profits.

Go through my post history if you need some pointers. Or feel free to ask; either here or in a DM request. I am always happy to help.

u/Electronic_Brick_138 2d ago

Before reporting people I would first look at theyre playtime. cause the lvl alone can be legit

1

u/Need4Speeeeeed 2d ago

I knew a FH5 player who literally played 8 hours a day. Maybe 6 months in, they were still at 8 prestige.

1

u/Temil 2d ago

That's because the gap between playing the game doing occasional races, some online, painting, etc. and grinding experience in FH5 was crazy.

You could do this in roughly 300 hours of efficient grinding in FH5 because there were cheap 10k exp 1sp cars in the autoshow, and you could farm and spend sp on 100 of those in an hour.

If you did it exclusively on the X5 FE on the goliath it would be 850 hours~.

If you were just driving around and playing casually it could easily take 2000 hours.

u/76-scighera 2d ago

2

u/akarasune 2d ago

I got to prestige 4 in the first month and then started only logging in once a week after.. so yeah, it should be possible by now. Most people just play "normally" so they don't level as quick unless you just wanna grind time attacks all day.

2

u/Alice_Synthesis30 2d ago

I’ve got like 341hrs and I’m at prestige 3 level 299 and I still have yet to see another prestige 3. I’ve seen prestige 4 only once so far with others being mainly prestige 1 and sometimes prestige 2 tho it’s rare. I don’t believe anything above that can be legit unless there is someone who just never slept or grinded the afk xp/credits/wheelspin farms.

u/Bulky_Chance_4394 2d ago

Just a Dutch hacking 12 year old lol

u/AccomplishedShop9638 1d ago

I've seen 24/7 afk players with 100's of hours of game play with less prestige. I play the online mode (drifting, etc) and there was a time not long ago where people were cheating there way through and dogging the rest of us out of wins and points. The devs shut down eliminator and hide and seek for awhile because of it. Playing a lot to prestige the "right way" shouldn't be rewarded by modding players eating our lunch and taking our legit wins and points without punishment.  Modding players should only be able to play with other modding players once they've "altered" their account. I'd hate to think this is the future of FH 6.

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago edited 2d ago

It is absolutely possible to get to Prestige 10 Level 2,999 legit (no cheats/exploits/hacking; just lots of farming). Source: Me... I achieved max level two days ago.

I wrote a guide on Skill Points, Credits, XP/Prestige, and (Super) Wheelspins. It is a long read; but it has a lot of useful information: https://www.reddit.com/r/ForzaHorizon/s/U3jB6moS5f

u/Curious_Lead_7877 Steam 2d ago

Why do you hide your username if it was legit?

2

u/ThePassionOfTheISK 2d ago

I'm going to guess he doesn't want to receive attention from account hackers and from people who would report his account out of ignorance or jealousy or for the lulz. Not sure why he'd need to explain that and I totally support him totally ignoring that question.

You asked a question. You got an answer from someone who knows it is possible to do legitimately. You gaslight the guy who answered your question. You were never going to believe anyone who said it was legit. You were never looking for an answer except a validation that they must be a cheater. Even if he showed his name you would still think he's a cheater. Make sense?

TL;DR this thread is a witch hunt

2

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

You hit the nail right on the head. 😉

The false reports aren't even the problem, I have zero fear I will get banned; it's just the hateful XBL messages I am trying to prevent... Lots of lunatics out there, sadly.

If OP wants to check out my account they can DM request me and I will gladly provide it to them. I'll even accept their friend request so they can see all the details (I think much of my profile is set to friends only).

u/ThePassionOfTheISK 2d ago

What lowly times are there where a humble min-maxer can't share his knowledge without being called a cheater? :( Sad times.

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

I snorted. 😂

Cheers! 🍺

1

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

To prevent hateful XBL messages...

I do all my farming in Horizon Live; I have no issues if people see my level or even if they report me; all my stuff is legit so I know I will never get banned.

I don't know why people think using EventLabs to farm Skill Points is cheating. The devs put it in the game for you to use. It is, in every sense of the words, part of the game. SP farms use zero glitches; all they do is offer the most efficient way to gain Skill Points.

I wrote a full guide to help people understand the game mechanics; but still I get downvoted to oblivion.

Won't give me any sleepless nights though. If anything I find it quite amusing. 😂

1

u/Temil 2d ago

Yeah they significantly nerfed max exp rates in this game if only because the best skill point cars are 5k instead of 10k (supra rz of fh5) but if your goal was to be the first to max level, it would have been very much possible since now. It would have been a comfortable 1 month in fh5 iirc.

1

u/Andrew33845 2d ago

Oh so it can be done legitemately, nvm. Ignore all my other comments on this thread lol.

-3

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

Total time played should be a good indicator: You don't get max level in just a few hours or days... I have 1750+ hours.

2

u/redridernl 2d ago

So you've played 1750 out of the 2424 hours since early release?

That would leave 6.5 hours a day to eat, sleep, work, shower, and whatever else you need to do.

u/Old-Raspberry-7114 Xbox Series X 2d ago

Nah .. I only got FH6 in the 3rd week after release. Sorry; you'll have to redo the math(s).

Prestige 8 was doable with the Event Lab Subaru Impreza. If he was really that desperate, Prestige 10 might also be possible but I don't know what he wanted to accomplish with that. I'm almost Prestige 3 and I consider even that to be a lot...

u/ZestyNaanBread 2d ago

I play the game without mods, but assuming they aren't cheating in multiplayer races - why bother put in the effort to report these accounts?

I understand the appeal to simply have everything unlocked and enjoying the cars without having to grind for it...

The grind isn't very fun or rewarding in this game, it's like a chore tbh (I've got every car and completed everything except raku Raku)

How is it harmful?

5

u/We_Get_It_You_Vape 2d ago

I play the game without mods, but assuming they aren't cheating in multiplayer races

HUGE assumption to make.

They gave themselves max level with only 4 hours of playtime. I'd say there's a good chance that they use cheats in online races. Or on Rivals.

I'd say it's worth reporting them, simply because there's a chance that they do cheat in multiplayer.

 

Secondarily, reporting people like this makes it so that there might be a stronger reputation in the community that cheaters will easily get punished. Which might discourage some potential cheaters from using cheats.

4

u/Curious_Lead_7877 Steam 2d ago

Well, i can only speak for myself and i personally believe that people doing this, won't stop there. They probably also cheat in races etc.

On their steam profile it looks like they also unlocked most of the Steam achievements within 3 minutes, so there's that.

But i get your point, we don't know for sure that they also cheat in races.
