How to unlock the Another One Bites the Dust achievement in Forza Horizon 5 - Definitive Guide

***UPDATE***
Players are reporting that there's a (good) bug where if you're at least level 50 then you just have to play one more championship in the Hot Wheels Horizon Open to unlock the achievement. I tried playing a Hot Wheels championship after already having level 100 and it gave me the level 200 badge. My guess is that switching between the regular Horizon Open and Hot Wheels Horizon Open (or vice versa) doubles your current level temporarily. So if you're between levels 51-99 while doing regular Horizon Open then you can try to do a Hot Wheels Open championship and see if the achievement unlocks early for you.
***END UPDATE***

The quickest way I've found to level up is to do S2 Street racing.

1. Select a fast, easy to control S2 class car. My suggestion: Koenigsegg CCGT with tune 732 604 811. Another option from the AutoShow is the Ferrari FXX K with tune 955 500 683. If that car is too expensive then any S2 class car is fine. The vast majority of XP will come from simply finishing and not from performing well.
2. Go to the Online tab of the menu and select Horizon Open.
3. Select the Custom Racing option towards the right.
4. Set Racing Series to "STREET" and Performance Class to "S2".

Street races will only be point-to-point so you won't have to deal with long, 3-lap races. Plus, being S2 will make the races end really quickly. You only accumulate Horizon Open XP at the end of the championship so be sure not to quit until the 3 event championship is finished.

This post from the Forza forums claims that it takes 4k XP to go up a level from levels 0-100. You get 20k XP(5 levels) just for finishing a championship. Plus another 5k XP if you win. This matches up with my experience. I would level up about 6-8 levels after every championship with this method.

If we say you gain 6 levels after every tournament and an average tournament takes 15 minutes then that would take you about 4 hours to go from level 0 to level 100.

Per MysterioBadass, also check your car's mastery for any XP boosts. For example, the CCGT has a mastery you can purchase that permanently boosts your event finish XP by 20% which can allow you to level up noticeably faster.

Thanks for these tips. Online is so much worse than I remember. The auto collision AI for predicting MP wall/car collisions is so bad, don't remember that in 4, and very punitive yet people can barge you with no penalty. Can't wait to get this grind done and dusted.

Good catch SiegfriedX. I didn't realize the CCGT was a Wheelspin car. I've added another option that's available from the AutoShow. But in reality, the specific car doesn't matter too much. The vast majority of XP will come from just finishing the tournament and not from placing high in the standings.

I had been doing Horizon Open in the base game until I saw this option. Joined the last race in Hot Wheels Open and went up a level from 73 to 74 and it popped. Thanks for the help.

@Cerberustorm no Horizon Open race type consists of 5 events that I'm aware of. They should all be 3. If someone has a 5 event championship then they may be in the wrong game mode (Horizon Tour?)

Thanks for the Ferrari tune. Didn't see it until the 70's, but it's helped so much. Finishing top-3 in every race as the handling is godly. Tunes are so important in Forza haha.

It’s early on and I found a lot of bad sportsmanship while I was getting this. Be aware that griefing is a bannable offense and a video (your “Record What Just Happened” should do) when submitted as proof will lead to a ban (I assume it’s temp or a 3 strikes thing).

Anyway, be patient, Open Racing is not usually this full of people trying to make life bad because they’re poor losers. But please be sure it’s griefing and not just someone going out of control because they were bumped, picked a bad tune, or misjudged a turn. Long contact trying to push you outside a flag or into a solid barrier off road is always intentional, anything else may or may not be accidental.

Definitely possible in about 5 hours using these tips. I've been using the 2018 Ferrari FXX K EVO as it's free with the car pass; and the don joewon song grip tune. Have been getting first about 50% of the time.

It's worth mentioning in the solution that the achievement essentially requires you to reach lvl 100, not actually earn 100 levels.

P.S. It was good not playing online races on this game, too many children on PC with new accounts bashing you off the track constantly.

It was getting boring, so I tried a turbo controller over night. 6 hours of getting 2-10% a race got me about 40 levels. Much quicker to do as much as the race as you can, but it's nice to knock out some of the slog while sleeping.

I find road races easier. Circuits take about the same amount of time as sprints and there's no traffic to deal with. XP is the same to.

You can do it by just playing the normal Horizon Open. I was able to get it done today. It was a bit of a grind. I hope they don't include anymore Horizon Open achievements in the future.

@Tenreth no, I think playground games may have the worst XP/time ratio. Most playground games require 2 rounds to every event. So you have twice as many loading screens.

@WhitestAFI2ICAN so after you complete all 3 races in a championship you don't see a 20k XP line item in the rewards screen for finishing? Your XP bar will only go up a couple levels in that screen, but if you back out and check your level it should show the correct level.

Yeah I just did one championship in Hot Wheels Horizon Open (Speed, S2 Class) and I went from 52 to 113.

EDIT: I just did another one. Gave me 35k xp like it did the first time, only 11 levels and I'm actually level 63 now. I don't know what happened the first time but my badges are showing I've done 122 levels when it was 52 before the first championship.

The progress is accelerated greatly using the Hot Wheels DLC. I think the high-speed events really make a difference. S2 racing events giving the largest jumps. Mine averaged 10-15 levels. Once it was around 25. This achievement is still a little grindy, but nowhere near as it once was.

Okay so this is definitely glitched, for me it was.

First 20 levels in Normal Open Horizon
Then 30 levels in Lego Open Horizon
*no achievement at level 50*
So I started playing the actual story of Lego and got to Elite rank and tried one more Lego Open Horizon.
Achievement popped after playing the final round of a championship.

Got it. Started with hot wheels then did what the guide suggests and it says I’m 134 in the badges and I’m level 69 so I don’t know what’s happening. Seems like a mixture of horizon open is needed?

By C3LLDW3LLER on 22 Jul 2022 15:40
@C3LLDW3LLER my best guess right now is that Hot Wheels will temporarily double your level after doing a championship. That's why your badge number seems to show about double your actual level. I've updated my guide to suggest this for people in the 51-99 level range who want this achievement earlier.

Just to add, I've exclusively been playing Hot Wheels Open this week and I was level 68. Decided to switch back to Mexico proper for normal Horizon Open and it popped after my first championship at level 72. So I don't know if moving between the two types of racing affects things rather than exclusively only working in Hot Wheels

Seems like level 50 is needed in either open or hotwheels on their own, then transferring to the other causes the level to double?

Was level ~54 from playing only Hot Wheels. Played one round of Horizon Open in the main game and got the achievement. Currently level 59.

It seems doing 50% of it in one then switching could work either way.

Got to level 55 in Mexico then played a championship in hot wheels and now I’m at 120(55+5 levels gained and then double)

Edit: did a 2nd championship and I got 8 ranks for coming last so I’m assuming that’s 4 x 2. It’s as if it’s double xp dlc

Finally got this one. As soon as I got to level 50, achievement popped. In horizon open my level is 59, but when you go to accolades it shows I earned 100 lvls already. Don’t look at you real level, check accolade “Another one bites the dust” for the achievement

By ETHg8 on 25 Jul 2022 10:31
Just keep going back and forward between regular and HW Open to boost it up. Takes no time at all that way. But it only tricks the "Accolade". Your level doesn't actually double. Thankfully, the achievement is flagged to the Accolade for popping. At least it seems that way to me. The Badges also seem to be tied into the fake level and not the real level.

I vaguely recall last time I was on the game, I think I started searching for Horizon Open in HW world, though I think I went off before actually loading into one? Idk, looking at Dragon's comment, there may be a positive bug connected to Horizon Open in HW.

Nothing to do with retroactive progress since I'd played a total of about two open races before grinding this today.

I have been using Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2020 which has a 20% race finish bonus as one of the Car Mastery unlocks. Tuned to 900 with Don Joewon Song's "GRIP / SPEED S1" tune.

Werey, the issue you are experiencing is due to the “Quick Resume” feature. Make sure you start the game fresh each time to avoid the connection issue. I have had the same problem and just avoid using “Quick Resume” when playing online.

The glitch is patched but I was getting 20-40k XP in hotwheels horizon open doing the race championships, the races are easy and you can use the cars you got in the hotwheels campaign, a lot of people there aren't as good as in the main game so it's easier to win imo.

@ZeRoToXiKs are you only looking at the rewards screen? That will only show you as leveling up 2 levels. However, if you check your level manually afterwards then you should see your true level. Since you get 20k XP after the event, you should gain 4 levels at a minimum after completing a full championship.

Yeah, not too bothered about my position, but having a competitive car might make this less boring. Racing against myself when in last place because my car sucks gets boring fast 😂

@NoHeroes94 this achievement seems like a desperate attempt to get people playing a half-dead game mode. Most rooms I enter are only 50% full...

@merschdawg06 yeah I'm checking the progress on the accolade for getting 100 levels. I'm doing exactly what the guide says, I'm finishing every race, and I'm placing in the top 3 in every race and overall. Yet I'm still only getting 4 levels. This is just really annoying now bc I know something's not right, and I'm seemingly having to do double the work for the achievement.

I use the AM Vulcan AMR super grippy. Put full race line on to make things easier for yourself. I've got level 12 after 5 races.. But I did finish first and 2nd most races... Most people choose the fastest car bit poor handling/grip

Also the problem with this grind the people not on series s/x.. Load times are awful between each event =(

@JGoDzzz1 So I actually went ahead and did the math on the road vs. street length. Below is what I found. I ignored the huge races such as the Goliath since I don't think those are included in Horizon Open playlists. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Average Road Sprint Length: 4.97 miles
Average Road Circuit Length: 5.33 miles
Average Combined Road Length(sprint + circuit): 5.17 miles

Average Street Race Length: 4.85 miles

So they are pretty similar, but road circuits are on average 10% longer than street races. And some of those circuits are in the city where you have to go pretty slow. So I guess it's a personal preference if the slightly longer races make up for not having to deal with the traffic in street races.

They release broken updates so we all have to rush to capitalise on it before they patch it out. Lucky I’ve got this week off and the weather has cooled down. So we just do horizon open online races?

Tried multiple times with different classes, but nothing worked. Unlocked after the 3rd race reaching level 50+ in the results screen and completing the 80.5km mission. So it could be related to one of those things. (just like Martel18 said).
Thankfully it's glitched and i don't have to suffer from all the online races

Thanks, got to 58 only playing HW Open, but accolade stopped doubling and sitting at 91/100. Swapped over to Mexico Open and after 1 race doubled to 129 and popped achievement! Thanks for all the comments, just saw this and got the achievement to pop early.

As someone who doesn't have the Hot Wheels DLC (as I won't be forking out 20 quid for copy and paste dlc from Forza 3) this achievement sucks balls. As others have said, the waiting times are so long you're in loading screens far longer than actual races, which makes this so boring.

I'm using a class A car that has extra event xp and also a further 10-15% (can't remember exactly) boost on event xp because I've bought all the mastery perks. I'm at level 14 and having little success in finding any custom races in horizon open..

For the chap above - go to “online” and then view “Horizon Open”. You can see your rank below your GT on the left. This is separate to your actual level in game.

For me interestingly whilst the badges were previously showing double my rank that has now changed. I’m actually level 62 but my badges state I’m level 76 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hence achievement not unlocked!

Best keep going!!

@Cerberustorm agreed. I really wish they had a setting to only match up with fellow Series S/X users. Slow Xbox One users in the party cause the load times to be horrendously slow for everyone.

Honestly the longest part of this ach is waiting in the damn loading screens. It's easily a 50/50 split in time spent and it's just truly dreadful. Then you get into races with 3-4 other people if you're lucky. Such a horrific experience even when you're finishing well or winning because it's just dull as can be. I'd legit rather race against the AI. It's more entertaining and I can do about 4 races to 1 with the load times being what they are.

@venksbond what disappointed you about it? It won't have the fastest top speed, but it more than makes up for it in acceleration and handling on corners. I was consistently placing top 3 using that tune. Mostly due to how fast you could go on corners and maintain control.

I must be too bad at this game. I always end in 5th position generally, even if I leave other cars in the way, I don't get it. The tunes for both cars are great. I hate the slippery cars and this two controls nicely. This is a very boring achievement, by the way. I hope someday Xbox separates DLC and online garbage from the main game.

@SiegfriedX Yeh it's painful. They need to either do ghost or collision this weird in between is jarring and inconsistent.

@Crota Slayer are you only looking at the number shown while you're getting your rewards after the championship is finished? If so, I noticed that number won't usually show your actual level. If you exit and go back to the open world and then check your Horizon Open level you should see your real level.

Hello all, whether you are a Forza Horizon Veteran, or new player this isn’t as impossible as I initially thought so a few tips and tricks for those who go for it.

It’s 4000xp / level, regardless of level progress up to 100 and beyond. Completing it WILL award XP regardless, but of course higher finishing position after the 3 events - will reward additional XP bonus.

You are going to want a few choice cars to give yourself a fighting chance at a podium finish, so be sure to take note of the OP cars that are winning, get your own and stick a tune on it.

General winners on the racing side was the Boneshaker (A Class) / Ford GT’08 (S1 Class) / and the Mercedes Benz X Class ( A & S1 class )

If you like to go drifting, it’s really your own preference but would stick to cars instead of vans and trucks as some tracks are very narrow and windy and don’t leave a lot of room.

If you like your playground games, you’ll want the Can Am track toy buggy ideally in each of the classes ( C B A & S1 ).

Custom races do award XP progression, and also double up for the Back in the Saddle, and One for All achievement.

If you’ve made it this far, and want an easy top up of money to fund the cars & tunes for the above, there was a trick I was taught. You will need a willing buyer that can help you out, but the process is simple.

Purchase a BMW M3 08 from the Autoshow for 45,000cr then sell the car with buyout set to 12million cr.

Instant bank.

Enjoy!

Simply enter the Horizon Open menu and complete events. Depending on your results, you will gain XP faster or slower, so the time to complete this will vary based on skill. You will earn The Grand Opening (10G) once you hit level 10, but you'll need to hit level 100 for this achievement. S2 Street Race events seem to be the quickest events available in Horizon Open, so filter your events to only play them for a faster completion.

I didn’t purposefully knock out the trophy. I mostly played seasons (cards appear periodically at the Horizon Open).
On average, there are 1-2 levels per competition depending on the place taken.
The simplest competitions, in my opinion, are ordinary races or team games. Drift competitions require good skill and meta cars for each patch. In some patches the “meta changes” and it becomes very difficult to simply get the hang of it.
Also, sometimes it takes a long time to find matches, or you get kicked out of the competition after the 1st route; for this, you just need to restart the game. Most often, this behavior occurs after Quick Resume, simultaneously with the change of season (that is, they put the console to sleep on Tuesday, turned it on on Thursday, the season “climbed up crookedly” and some network activities are searched crookedly or with crashes).
