How to unlock the Relic Hunter achievement in Forza Horizon 3 - Definitive Guide

There are 15 Barn Finds to collect in Horizon 3. These are found scattered across the map in various areas and show up after a certain amount of play time as your mechanic friend will let you know of some car rusting away in a barn. It'll show an indicator on the map of where the barn find is located. Head over to this area and then search for a barn and drive into it. Once that's done it'll trigger a cutscene, the car will be taken away and restored. The achievement unlocks once you've restored fifteen cars. I've included a full map with 15 barn finds below along with a video showing the location of each barn find. The map included is 4k in size and courtesy of Gamerheadquarters , click on it for a full view which should make it easy to spot barn finds.

15 Barn Finds Cars:
-Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi (1969)
-Ferrari Dino 246 GT (1969)
-Ferrari 166mm Barchetta (1948)
-Ford XB Falcon GT (1973)
-Ford Super Delux Station Wagon (1946)
-Holden Sandman HQ Panel Van (1974)
-Holden HQ Monaro GTS 350 (1973)
-Holden 50-2106 FX UTE (1951)
-Jaguar MK II 3.8 (1959)
-Lamborghini LM 002 (1986)
-Maserati A6GCS/53 Pininfarina Berlinetta (1953)
-Meyers Manx (1971)
-Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (1993)
-Reliant Supervan III (1972)
-Toyota FJ40 (1979)

Edit: Note, it would appear some people are having the achievement get stuck at 93% despite restoring all vehicles. You're not the only one, with the newly released Barn Find you can apparently get the achievement by collecting/restoring it since it's fixed quickly. There are now more than 15 cars available, you only need to find 15 of them

I just got this achievement today, however I had to do a different method in unlocking this. It worked for me so if any of you guys are still stuck on 93% like i was, this should be of massive help. I had 19 out of 20 barn finds unlocked (4 above the 15 barn finds the achievement require was for. So what I did to fix this problem was

Disconnect your internet from Xbox One. (Turn your internet box off)

Go to "My Games and Apps" select Forza Horizon 3, manage game and delete the game save from your console. (Don't worry it will only delete your local save, not your cloud save.)

Play until you get at least 1 barn find and then collect it. (I need 2 just to be on the safe side.) Obviously if your percentage on the progression is less than say 93% and its for example 86% then you will need to find at least 2 barn finds.

Pause the game and go back into the Xbox One dashboard menu. Go back to "My Games and Apps" select Forza Horizon 3 again, manage game and delete the game save from your console again. Important note is to make sure you do not quit the game as it needs to still be running for this to work.

Reconnect your internet to Xbox One.

Once your internet is fully connected go back to Forza Horizon 3, the game will load up and your achievement will pop up. Your game will after synchronise your save from your cloud storage so no progress at all will be wiped.

Credit for the above solution goes to DropDeadHorizon who originally wrote this method out to fix this problem with a different achievement "I want it all" for obtaining all skill perks. This method also has worked for other gamers who have also suffered buggy progression on their other achievements as well including Exhibition Expert and Horizon Hardcore.

Hope this helps guys.

Can all them be found at the very beginning or do I need to be at a certain progress, level etc?

To answer the above you have to wait to get notified before you can get a barn find ( by progressing through the game ). Also with the Treasure Map the location of a barn find will not show up on your map untill you get told about one.

It'll show up eventually, I spent many hours waiting on them and the last one just seemed to take longer. Also, perhaps just check around on your map for the indicator in case you missed it.

I don't know what the requirements for getting the barn finds to appear, but I got my 15th directly after 11 site upgrades (lvl 5-5-4-1), player lvl 109 & ~8M fans..
Just waiting for the final 3 to be repaired now..

Huh, my 15th came up to go find a long way before that, I was well under rank 70. It took until I got past rank 110 before it was available to collect though.

I found all 15 cars, and I collected all 15 too, but my achievement is stuck at 93% for two days. Is it a bug?

Did you restore all 15 cars though? and collect them after restoring, that would be my only guess for it being at 93%. Other then that it could be a glitch then though I would check to make sure all are colored in instead of being blacked out when scrolling through the car vista barn finds area.

If you have 20 hours you've definitely missed a notification, you should have had a couple show up while you're driving around during that amount of time. Check you're map to make sure nothing has shown up, if not are you completing regular campaign progress? Just curious as these just showed up over time while playing.

Indeed. I got my last car at around level 50. And I'm at 85 now and it still isn't restored. That mechanic is a lazy sod. Gonna cost me a few mil to finish the restore.

Still, it's not like I'm in any rush. LOADS more chvs to go for in the mean time.

The Barchetta is the 15th one that I found, and is still being restored. Now the game is telling me that there is yet another to be found, just north of Byron Bay. The one near Byron isn't on any of the maps here too.

I've restored 18 cars but no achievement, it's at 93%. I accidentally sold one of the original 15 at auction, does anybody know if this affects the achievement?

I've also still got to get the Hot Wheels barn find, can anybody confirm if this will get me to 100%?

Got every barn find including BM and HW..


EDIT: Just did what Halodan123 said, yes i had to waste multiple hours of my life and played until i had 8 barn finds (#6, the ferrari berlinetta or something like this, never ever finished, maybe some bug or whatever, so i had 9 barn finds but only 8 restored), delete the save file, reconnect, start the game (which restarts btw) sync my old save, while sync, i got the achievement. And yes, my cloud save is fine. Thanks so far, and fuck this achievement...

Don't collect a base game barn find while you're on a DLC map, as that doesn't trigger the cut scene and it doesn't couldn't. Make sure to go back to Byron Bay first!

nvm it did work, got the achivement 30 minuts later while writing a support ticket. And I kept my progress because of the resync :) Just a quik tip DO NOT COLLECT BARNFINDS IN THE GARAGE ON A DIFFERENT MAP. the mechanic doesnt tell about the car if you do and I think thats what makes a barnfind count. So I guess I collected a few cars on the main map and when I was playing a dlc I collected them which made them invalid. So I was missing one even though I had restored and found 20.

Unfortunately Halodan123's solution doesn't work for me.
After deleting the save, the game closes and restarts.

edit: I have to correct this statement:
It works!!!
The achievement didn'T pop inGame , but it seems it counted.

This one wouldn’t pop for me and was showing I still needed around 5 barn finds despite finding all of them.

I managed to eventually get this by going to a festival site, selecting “garage” followed by “barn finds” and getting in each car one by one. After getting in a car I’d back out of all the menus, then rinse and repeat. Gradually this seemed to trigger the progress bar to increase :)

Anyone had issues where the purple circle is nowhere near the the spots on the map above or the videos etc.
so I find these barns and can’t access them yet as they aren’t in the circles. Then in the circles obviously there is no barn at all..

I seem to have the same issue as Drazer76 above. The purple rumor circle doesn't have the barn location inside of it, and thus wont unlock when found.

I have 13/15 and the remaining 2 are not spawning, nobody is calling me to tell me about them , should i go to their location to find em by myself ? I have 100+ hours of game through base game hotwheels and blizzard mountain, i hope nothing ’s got glitchy…..
#####EDIT#####

I removed the local save data and started a new career while i was online, played 1 hour or so and after unlocking 2 Horizon Festival location i played few races and received the first barn find rumor. I reached its location and moved to the nearest horizon festival to unlock it payin +250K to restore it ( 1st is the Ferrari ) and got the achievement after i went back to roaming.

I'm not actually sure, since I didn't have a guide I just waited until the spots presented themselves and went out to find them. I'd assume you'd be able to at anytime as they sell a treasure map with the locations. Though in regular design they just appear over time.

I got 20 barnfinds, 18 from the main game and 2 dlc ones. Stuck at 93% and play on pc. I do not own an xbox. I did what Halodan123 said but that doesnt work op pc.
This is only my second game that works with the microsoft xbox achivements system and probably the last. It just doest work properly and makes even the most fun games not worth completing because it might just not work. like i spend hours upon hours completing all championships and then one of the most basic achivements refuses to unlock.

To summarize everything we know about the achievement, there are probably 2 ways this achievement can glitch:

- by redeeming barn finds on different maps (for example, redeeming a regular barn find, while on blizzard mountain)
- by playing on an older patch

I unlocked the achievement fine on 2 different accounts, only playing on the newest patch and only playing the normal game without DLCs.
I think the DLC barn finds do not move the achievement counter either, the person posting before me was concerned about a glitch, but unlocked the achievement fine, it seems.

Halodan123's solution posted above seems to help. What also might help is trying to unlock the achievement and if it doesn't unlock, delete your local save, restart the game and try it again with your regular save. This could save you some time.

The other guides are perfectly fine, but if you are a gamer that likes to try to find things on their own such as myself may I suggest using drone mode to find the barn finds.

To access drone mode (something new to Forza Horizon) you must unlock it using skill points you gain from leveling up. It is one of the first skills you can pick up. Once you level up and get to the skill shop it is under festival boss on the bottom middle tile.

Then press cn_start and in the home tab you will find it on the bottom right under photo mode. This will allow you to fly a drone that that is much more maneuverable and can rotate easier than any car you use, especially in the hilly tree filled areas the barn finds tend to be in.

Just drive to the purple area highlighted on your map and deploy your drone. Anything you see with your drone will be marked on your map making it easier to drive directly to it. I have found this has saved me a bit of time once i started utilizing it. I have also found some bonus boards this way.

If anyone has any problems or anything they think should be added let me know so I can edit the post. I hope this helps!

While playing the game, one of your assistants will notify you about the possibility of coming across lost cars somewhere in the wilderness. There are a total of fifteen cars to be found and you will only find them one at the time.

Once you find a car, it takes roughly five minutes for a new message to indicate that you can collect the car. Go to any Festival site, enter it and in your menus you will see the "Barn Finds" that you can retrieve. You actually need to retrieve them and the achievement will unlock after you found the last one.

Please note that as of November 16, 2016, more rarities were added to the game for temporary achievements. Now there are already 16 of them. To achieve this you only need story rarities, there are 15 of them in the game.
