All about Skill Points in Forza Horizon 5

In order to gain skill points, players have to create a Skill Chain by pulling off a chain of tricks in rapid succession without crashing. Tricks like drifting, near misses, destroying objects and speed records are some of the tricks that can be performed in Forza Horizon 5.

When a particular trick is executed, players are given a multiplier and score at the top of their screen. The number continues to increase as players go on performing any of those tricks. This multiplier usually increases once Skill Songs are played while roaming the streets.

A player receives one Skill Point for each car once they reach a score of 50,000 by performing a variety of tricks.

One of the best ways to start a Skill Chain is by drifting on both asphalt and off-road. To further increase the score gain, players can combine drifting while breaking some objects or vegetation while drifting.

It is also recommended to have the “Extra Life” perk for the car being used for farming experience for Skill Points, as it gives a second chance to players who make a mistake while performing tricks in Forza Horizon 5.

By keeping all these things in mind, players can easily gain a lot of Skill Points in no time and make their ride a whole lot more enjoyable.
