How to unlock the May The Forza Be With You achievement in Forza Horizon - Definitive Guide

UPDATE: With this game being backwards compatible now some people have tried this method on xb1 with no luck. So far this solution is only for 360.

For those who didn't play Forza 3 or 4 and don't want to start them.

Steps:
1. Go to your local Gamestop/Blockbuster and buy/rent the game. Or borrow it from your buddy.
2. Disconnect your xbox from the internet.
3. Play Forza 3 or 4 to lvl 1 or whichever level you want for the gift car. I played till I was lvl 1.
4. Delete your gamertag profile, just the profile nothing else.
5. Connect to the internet and recover your account. You now have a forza game save with no achievements.
6. Play Forza Horizon till you get the yellow wristband.*
7. Once you pickup the wristband and buy a car for the next event, you should get a notification about loyalty cars. Head to your garage accept the cars and your achievement should pop.
8. Return the game.

You can look at my account and see that I have no forza 3 or 4 achievements.

*If you already passed this point. You need to start another save file in the cloud. Make sure you also move your forza save file there.

Hope this helps.
Thanks to iCelviN Px and Fighting Doofus for the idea.

thanks SoH Anarchy for giving credit and save me time not having to write it thunbs up

By iCelviN Px on 25 Oct 2012 21:46

it works +1

By Tornad0s on 26 Oct 2012 17:36

thanks!

By dL KryZi on 27 Oct 2012 23:30

Thanks for the mention, but did you get this on the first try? Or did you ever have to restart and get the yellow wristband again?

By Fighting Doofus on 29 Oct 2012 04:59

Worked perfect. Thx

By BastiXS96 on 29 Oct 2012 20:18

As noted in step six, if you have already obtained the yellow wristband you have to start another save. Since I was well into the game I had to start a save on the cloud. Doesn't take long, did it in about 30 minutes. From getting to level 1 in forza 3 to the yellow wristband.

What's up with the negative vote?

By SoH Anarchy on 29 Oct 2012 20:43

Thanks for your Solution.

I just moved the Forza3 Save into the Cloud and started a new Horizon Save in the Cloud. As soon as i got my yellow wristband i got a message about the loyalty cars. I went to the garage and choosed "Change Car" and then i had to accept the message and got my achievement.

It took me around a full hour from starting a new Forza3-Game to getting my Horizon-Achievement.

By Zetenge on 31 Oct 2012 23:50

worked for me

By II P1K3Y II on 05 Nov 2012 22:07

I would only say that originally that idea was mine.. i am also the first one that experimented it working..

By Gema87 on 03 Dec 2012 12:10

You don't even have the game....

By SoH Anarchy on 03 Dec 2012 21:53

I haven't played it on this gamertag but..
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=39...
#11 and #38, i have done it 26/10/2012 on another gamertag..
Don't worry, i haven't any copyright on it.. I was only saying that in x360a i gave the idea, maybe here you come to the same conclusion without me..
But if the gamers, that gave it to you, have readed it from x360a that idea is mine..

By Gema87 on 04 Dec 2012 07:33

Ah I see.

By SoH Anarchy on 05 Dec 2012 00:17

I have Forza Horizon but haven't started it yet. I take it that Forza 2 doesn't count which is stupid. That's the only one I have on my card and it took me forever to complete it. Really don't wanna do 3 or 4. I'm worried about popping a cheevo while getting to LVL 1 in Forza 3. I know there are some really easy ones that could pop without you even trying. Did you just do one race to get to lvl 1? Do I even have to do a race? Could I just make a save and then be done with it?

By Beachem on 12 Dec 2012 23:57

You have to get to level 1 and you will pop 3 or 4 achievements getting there. Just follow my guide and you'll get it with no achievements for that game.

By SoH Anarchy on 13 Dec 2012 00:03

This guide worked a treat! Thanks for writing it!

By Captain Redeye on 14 Dec 2012 02:53

So that your info isn't saved. It's like working on a document in MS Word, if you don't save before you close it, you lose your work.

By SoH Anarchy on 26 Dec 2012 03:30

thanks....it`s still working

By VLAD T xxxROxxx on 26 Dec 2012 07:39

So by delete profile, I take it you mean your profile (gamertag) saved on your hard drive? So once I hit lvl 1 in Forza 3, I go back to dashboard and find my profile on my hard drive and delete it. Just wondering if you mean profile as in my gamertag or the Forza 3 profile.

By Beachem on 06 Jan 2013 08:31

I'm just a little worried about deleting my profile. I take it, when you recover it, it will be saved back onto your hard drive or storage device?

By Beachem on 06 Jan 2013 08:34

Yes, your gamertag profile. I'll edit it to be more specific.
Yes, it'll be saved back to your device. It's just like when going to a friends house and you recover your gt. Your profile is stored server side and gets refreshed constantly while online.

By SoH Anarchy on 07 Jan 2013 00:52

Thanks a lot =))

By X37VW on 25 Jan 2013 14:28

everything works fine, except moving my fm3 save to cloud it will say : there was a problem performing that action.

So i just kept continue but it wont pop my loyalty car message probably because i cant move the file correctly.
Someone knows how to fix this??

By amztel on 09 Feb 2013 16:00

I bought the Forza 4, the steps suggested in this solution work out wonderfully. Now I've of course got another problem: the Forza 3 loyalty achievement and the insanely insane kinect-achievement...

By X37VW on 10 Feb 2013 05:54

I've heard you can do the same thing with a dummy profile - as long as it's save file is on the same device your main profile saves on it will still work. No deleteing or retrieving needed.

By Steakslave on 17 Feb 2013 07:07

Don't think so. It looks at your saves, not everyone. If anyone want's to actually prove or disprove it, just load up the game on another profile.

By SoH Anarchy on 25 Feb 2013 01:27

Ok so, I started forza 4 on a friends console . I had him log on using my account and move the saves to cloud. I then retrieved them and moved them to my USB where I have started another horizon game. I have saved (copied) it just before getting the yellow wristband so I can retry without wasting time. It's not working ...? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

By MK4 BMP R32 on 23 Apr 2013 00:20

You can't just use another person's save file. It looks for a save file with your gamertag.

By SoH Anarchy on 23 Apr 2013 00:21

By MK4 BMP R32 on 23 Apr 2013 00:25

I just told you....

By SoH Anarchy on 23 Apr 2013 00:27

Well it's "my" save but on his console . I have modio and I checked out the I'd's and the console I'd was his and not mine so I changed it to mine... I guess I'll just have to borrow the damn game from him

By MK4 BMP R32 on 23 Apr 2013 00:29

It's my save not someone else's . Never mind your no help

By MK4 BMP R32 on 23 Apr 2013 00:35

If you didn't play the game it's not your save. Just play the game like the guide says, it's really simple....no need to try something so complicated.

By SoH Anarchy on 23 Apr 2013 01:03

Just got the achievement offline.... weird.

I have finished the game and went to an outpost and accidentally clicked on "Change Car" instead of "PR Stunts" and it popped.

By Gerbasgamer on 27 Jun 2013 12:58

DONT USE F3!

on my first race in Forza 3 I unlocked 2 achievements. I think Forza 4 may be the best option.

I now have to grind through F3 and get all them now :(

Flip side, I can get the loyalty cheiv in F4 ;)

By Nuka Cola Cap on 29 Dec 2013 03:10

Please don't skip any steps in this guide.
2. Disconnect your xbox from the internet.
3. Play Forza 3 or 4 to lvl 1 or whichever level you want for the gift car. I played till I was lvl 1.
4. Delete your gamertag profile, just the profile nothing else.
5. Connect to the internet and recover your account. You now have a forza game save with no achievement

By SoH Anarchy on 29 Dec 2013 03:13

Of course, that makes sense. Since you're offline, the Gamertag with the achievements can't register and save online, and when you delete the profile from the hard drive, it deletes the achievements that aren't registered to the account yet.

Gotcha, smart

By The Bort The on 03 Feb 2014 19:06

Followed your guide and it worked perfectly. Thank you! Thumbs up has been added.

By forced2change on 07 Apr 2014 04:18

This method makes sense but I followed your guide step by step, twice, and have not gotten the achievement. Could you help me make sense of why that is?

By ParticleDuality on 17 Apr 2014 22:32

I believe this is the most confusing part, *If you already passed this point. You need to start another save file in the cloud. Make sure you also move your forza save file there.

Make sure you're making that other save file.

By SoH Anarchy on 18 Apr 2014 05:12

Yes, I did save both forza files to the cloud. Well, I first started forza 3 while disconnected and then finished the first race and it was saved to the cloud. I then did the next steps and got the wristband, while using the cloud to store my data and still no achievement.

By ParticleDuality on 23 Apr 2014 00:42

Just to make sure, you're playing until you reach level 1 on forza correct? I don't think that first race will get you there. IIRC I played about 3 races.

By SoH Anarchy on 24 Apr 2014 17:07

Maybe that's the problem. I just completed the first race that they put you in and then left the game assuming that I was level one after the first race.

By ParticleDuality on 24 Apr 2014 17:47

Worked. Thank you !

By ll BLAIR ll on 02 Sep 2014 16:58

We don't have those (kind of a) gameshops here in The Netherlands. Can you obtain this achievement if someone gift one of those cars to you?

By Claptrap NL on 24 Oct 2014 20:30

No, you can just buy the game like on eBay and then just resell it.

By SoH Anarchy on 24 Oct 2014 23:09

From my understanding you need to have the save on your xbox.

By SoH Anarchy on 28 Oct 2014 16:08

What a stupid achievement! I will never get 1000GS in this game now. It's not worth it! :(

By FireRaiser1985 on 19 Mar 2015 03:24

Read my solution, this doesn't cost you any money and is very easily attainable.

By SoH Anarchy on 19 Mar 2015 14:02

Thanks! Worked fine :)

By SandMan NL1 on 19 Jun 2015 22:00

Just a suggestion. After some thorough reading it seems as if assuming I read it correctly that if your beyond the yellow wrist and that you HAVE to get it by saving the new horizon save via the cloud. I'm doing that right now to knock this out. Assuming I read it right I would put emphasis on the fact that no other way will work to unlock this achievement

By Pynnokyr on 24 Aug 2015 09:07

Just got the achievement I moved my original save to an external and unplugged it. From there did the whole play forza 3 offline delete profile trick. Not sure if that was sufficient but moved the f3 save to cloud and started horizon via the cloud. Got the achievement thanks for the tip!

By Pynnokyr on 24 Aug 2015 09:38

@ Claptrap NL: But you have amazon in The Netherlands don't you? Just buy a new version of the game from amazon DIRECTLY (not from a third-party seller). Then you should be able to give it back for 4 weeks even if it is used by you. Just tell them that it is not working properly or even that you don't like it (yes, you can even choose this as a reason to give it back). Amazon takes it back without asking anymore questions and you still get a full refund. I did this with a PS3 copy of Fifa 15 after obtaining the platinum in like 2 weeks.

By Orran Durai on 31 Aug 2015 11:45

It hasn't worked for me and I followed all the steps. If anyone can assist, that would be great.

By TastyCoffee88 on 18 Apr 2016 09:36

Are you sure you followed the steps to the t?

By SoH Anarchy on 30 May 2016 13:06

I have just made him, thank you SoH Anarchy!

By Zephir 37 on 07 Jul 2016 23:30

I haven't started FH yet and have just picked up a copy of Forza 3.
I will follow the guide but just wanted to know if this will work doing it on the Xbox One?

By kevc99 on 01 Sep 2016 08:38

i am on xbox one i have Forza 3 and Forza 4 saves on the cloud and it did not work
i think i will have to use the xbox 360 to get achievement

By SGTGUNYOUTOHELL on 01 Sep 2016 11:33

Rafalution don't see why it wouldn't. SGTGUNYOUTOHELL with the introduction of xbox one, there where would you like to save hdd or cloud option sort of disappeared. I would like to say all saves are in the cloud but I"m no too sure how it works. I would honestly see if you can just put the saves on a usb stick or something.

By SoH Anarchy on 01 Sep 2016 18:58

I have tried 4 times to get this to work with Xbox one and it doesnt work. I purposely deleted my Horizon Save (local and Cloud) started a FM3 game and got to level 1 and saved this on the cloud. Went back to Forza Horizon and started a new game but no achievement. I am convinced this wont work on Xbox One so i am installing the game on my 360 and attempting it on there. If this doesnt work then the whole lot is getting chucked out the window.

By SE7ENDEVILS on 02 Sep 2016 16:21

Thanks for posting this SE7ENDEVILS, I tried posting in the forums to see if anyone could confirm that it won't work on Xbox One.

By ELEMENT5 x261x on 02 Sep 2016 21:32

I think I'm screwed. So I have played Forza 3 and 4 before. But as I started playing Forza Horizon on my XBOXONE, I didn't get achievement! I honestly don't know what's going on.

By Armored Cantus on 02 Sep 2016 21:54

It also didn't work for me on my One. I started a new game on my 360 hard drive and it unlocked when it should. Thanks for the guide, I didn't want to have a few FM3 achievements nagging around with the rest of my unfinished games :)

By KenH2k4 on 03 Sep 2016 00:06

Seems like with the saving system on xbox one this method doesn't work for the time being. Can any of you guys put saves to a usb stick or to an external hdd and see if that works?

By SoH Anarchy on 03 Sep 2016 01:08

Great!! Super everything worked

By biegeeinheit on 05 Sep 2016 23:31

Thanks for that !! Worked perfectly !

By ThePixellist on 06 Sep 2016 10:25

make sure that your forza 3 save game is in the cloud and in sync, otherwise it will fail.
i moved my forza 3 save from my old xbox 360 elite to the cloud and played horizon on my newer xbox 360E but it did not unlock at first. i had to move the f3 save game from cloud to hdd and back to have it in sync (it wasnt downloaded automatically). then i restarted horizon from scratch and it worked!

By chris240189 on 06 Sep 2016 12:03

I;m playing on Xbox One and currently there's no way to get the achievement for XB1 players. My concern is that in order to get it (Even if FM3 and/or FM4 becomes backward compatible) you need to start over. There's no way of doing it on XB1 without erasing your progress, since you cannot start a new game on USB stick.

By mindkiller76 on 08 Sep 2016 08:50

Yup, I played F3 back when I had my x360 and now that FH is free I tried to complete it but its not unlocking so there is definitely something that is not compatible between the X360 and Xbox One.

I think it is the way the X360 is emulated. Its like a Virtual Machine and it cant connect to game files that were saved on the cloud using the X360. I just noticed the same thing with Bayonetta, I finished the game but I couldn't get my files from the cloud and had to start all over again.

So there is definitely an issue between the X360 and Xbox One cloud saved files.

By Bacavoit on 10 Sep 2016 04:56

Lol I got really lucky with this so I havent played F4 in 4 years I dont know if that affects anything but I decided to get on it for this then it says i need disc 1 and i have no idea where disk 1 is so i just said fuck it and dashboarded and got back on horizon then i get this out of nowhere
I already beat the game and done all the races

By ESM on 11 Sep 2016 00:04

I have Forza Motorsport 4 almost completed (825G/1000G, 42ach/49ach). Today I started Forza Horizon, obtained 19 achievements, I got the Pink wristband, but no message about the loyalty cars. Both games I played on X360, both games have savegames in the cloud. What am I doing wrong?
Almost all the time today I was having a message, that Horizon servers couldn't be connected. Maybe this is the reason?

By Radek Flaum on 15 Oct 2016 23:02

Radek, are you playing horizon on 360 or xb1? If its xb1 you can't get this achievement. If its 360 make sure your horizon save is also in the cloud as the steps state.

By SoH Anarchy on 16 Oct 2016 13:34

It's stupid, that i have completed Forza 3 and Forza 4, but cannot get this achievement since i sold my old xbox 360

By Dellfis on 26 Oct 2016 08:13

the "move forza 3 save to cloud and start a new career there" worked for me, as it had not unlocked the first time around, so thanks a lot OP for both suggestions.

By velho lobodomar on 27 Oct 2016 21:12

Can this achievement be unlocked if I'm midway through Forza Horizon and I just got FM3?

By mindkiller76 on 11 Nov 2016 09:23

Only if your on the 360. Read all the steps.

By SoH Anarchy on 12 Nov 2016 02:11

Making it directly from x360 is easier. You have to pick both saves in the same storage. And finally worked for me!

By MJay76 on 22 Nov 2016 19:26

Cloud trick worked, thank you!

By madmaxey on 10 Jan 2017 10:16

Wow....I can't believe the Xbox 360 gives you no warning before you delete all your save files!!!!

When I went to delete my profile, the option didn't pop up at first, so I hit A again, just in time for it to pop up and select the option to delete my profile, plus all items.

So all my saves are gone.....

Oh thank god I was wrong! Seems my saves are still there, phew! Either I turned my console off in time, or that option doesn't delete save files. I see my background theme is back to default though. So I guess it deleted things like gamerpics and such that were linked to my GT? I can live with that stuff. I seriously thought I lost everything there.

Since before I accidentally hit the A button, I saw it said it would delete savefiles and all achievements.

I almost had a heart attack, the thought of be able to lose an account I've had for over 12 years, in a single button press with no warnings.

Looked on Google, and it seems I turned off my console in time, that option is supposed to delete save games. Luckily I always backup my saves, but I would have lost some saves I can't make backups of. I can't believe there's no warnings before you select that.

By EarthboundX on 26 Mar 2017 09:01

Either way, after my freakout there, I followed the rest of the steps, it it popped just fine, so positive vote from me.

By EarthboundX on 26 Mar 2017 09:01

+1 although I had to Buy Forza Horizon 3, this guide worked perfect for not obtaining any achievements!

By ResinousHashish on 04 May 2017 03:00

Is this achievement no longer obtainable? After earning the yellow wristband, I didn't get any prompt for loyalty cars at my garage.

By Kenjuan on 04 May 2017 15:58

Kenjuan, this is only obtainable on 360 if you have other forza saves in the same area where you save this game.

By SoH Anarchy on 05 May 2017 13:42

By same area I assume you mean storage device. . On my first attempt, the Forza 3, 4, and Horizon saves were all on my console's HDD. For my second attempt, I moved my Forza 3 & 4 savefiles to cloud and changed Horizon's storage location to cloud before starting new game.

By Kenjuan on 06 May 2017 22:12

still works today, just follow the steps above. simples

Thank you!

By WKFJonesy on 29 Aug 2017 20:39

It worked perfectly i did it with fm3 then once got yellow wrist band i went to garage and asked me bout it and i said yes do want the cooper and got achievement:)

By SinSTeRS DEVIL on 19 Dec 2017 15:10

If you play forza horizion before forza 3 can you win the achuevments

By mitkohalo3 on 25 Jan 2018 02:55

As stated in the guide, if you've already started you need to start another save file in the cloud.

By SoH Anarchy on 25 Jan 2018 03:54

Does anyone have a time estimate of how long it takes to get back to the yellow wristband? I did not have my save files moved to the cloud when I got to this point.

By A4TH BrokenHalo on 06 Feb 2018 15:38

Gonna guess like 15 minutes, since the whole process takes 30.

By SoH Anarchy on 06 Feb 2018 15:40

Just confirming that in 2/2018, this still doesn't work on the XB1 and must be completed on Xbox 360. Fortunately it doesn't take long to get this achievement after starting a new game.

By A4TH BrokenHalo on 13 Feb 2018 16:46

Worked like a charm!

By Mike Pitch on 27 Jun 2018 04:31

Followed this guide at .5 "Connect to the internet and recover your account. You now have a forza game save with no achievements"
I get this error message...

"Items on another Xbox are waiting to be uploaded for this game or app. To use cloud storage, sign in to the Xbox you last played on and upload the items to the cloud".

So I've tried to sign in on my Xbox One and let Forza Horizon load a bit, but i still get this fail message at Xbox 360...what is the solution?

By EstocoImo on 29 Jul 2018 19:59

Are you trying this on a 360 or xb1?

By SoH Anarchy on 30 Jul 2018 03:36

Xbox 360

By EstocoImo on 30 Jul 2018 12:00

It's hard to say, have you tried deleting your profile from your xb1? Ever since xb1 came out it made this solution harder.

By SoH Anarchy on 30 Jul 2018 15:35

Am I right in assuming that when playing F3 you will unlock some achievements before getting to level 1 and that is why the profile needs to be deleted? Just need some clarification on how this all works.

By Vokul Vegan on 08 Aug 2018 17:20

Yes, this whole guide is to avoid people popping achievements for that game.

By SoH Anarchy on 09 Aug 2018 01:59

Hey, thanks for your response, I will for sure be using this method when I play. :) Much obliged.

By Vokul Vegan on 11 Aug 2018 11:48

Got it thanks bud!

By Vokul Vegan on 11 Aug 2018 12:00

If you can't access the cloud a usb pen.might work for this just to pop the loyalty cars achievement just to get it out off the way

By KILLANEYROCKS on 16 Aug 2018 20:57

I did everything on the guide and still doesn't give me the achievement. Any suggestions?

By vK Knave on 26 Aug 2018 14:59

Are you playing on xb1 or 360?

By SoH Anarchy on 27 Aug 2018 13:40

Solution still works as of 9-5-18. Just followed steps and didn't encounter any problems. I did it on the 360, as per solution description.

By Right 0n Q on 06 Sep 2018 04:21

Just got it..... If you get a error when deleting your cloud save, go into the game and delete the individual cloud saves

By OptionalOwl on 12 Nov 2018 16:13

This method still work as of 3/13/2019 - Followed guide and did everything on the 360 and achievement popped.

By ULTRAxNAPA on 13 Mar 2019 22:05

Worked like a charm, thank you so much.

By Ixtab Lullaby on 17 Jan 2020 12:17

I can vouch for that as well. This method deletes EVERY achievement you earned for FM4 offline. It still works as of March 28, 2020!

By DeadRisingBully on 28 Mar 2020 19:19

Still works as of end of the June 2020, thanks!

By drUnable on 24 Apr 2020 20:07

You from the future?

By LeXXuz on 02 May 2020 15:20

Thanks for the tips dude, but I might do forza 3 again as I have my old account with all its dlc in tact 😂😂 why? Bc I wanna use my 360 licenced Wheel with the wheel stand pro that goes with it. Iknow it’s 1000 events but the Mines r34 is only in FM3 game 🥺🗿

By Go Giraffe NECK on 12 Aug 2020 09:15

Hi sorry, but when you say Forza 3 or 4 do you mean motorsport or horizon? Cheers, I want to get this but I don't want to buy the wrong game :)

By HannersWho on 13 Aug 2020 16:30

Could someone help me with this please? I’ll return the favor! Just send me a message on the Xbox rather than on TA, I’ll see it quicker lol

By JxnnyV on 16 Aug 2020 11:10

there goes my lucks of having 100% on this game

By jj6y on 18 Aug 2020 21:46

August 2020 and it won’t work for me. I have followed every step and everything was as described but it doesn’t pop. One thing I have noticed is that although I started a new Horizon game in the cloud some of my messages are there and also my speed trap PB’s not sure how that’s happened. I also have a load of Fm 3 save games on my 360 but from an old profile. Any ideas?

By Rigpig1919 on 20 Aug 2020 07:49

Update to the above, the achievement is still possible. I popped it with my old profile. So my old profile has a 9 year old Motorsport 3 save game but has never seen Horizon, starting Horizon to yellow wristband and it popped. My main profile has a nearly complete Horizon and a new Motorsport 3 save with no achievements. So I’m obviously doing something wrong. Just need to figure out what!

Finally got it, problem was my Motorsport save, played to level 2 and then did Horizon to yellow wristband and it popped.

By Rigpig1919 on 21 Aug 2020 09:13

@Rigpig1919 good on getting the cheevo to pop! just to clarify: you played M3 on an Xbox360 and then Horizon2 also on 360?

Hey guys I’m really sorry but I don’t quite understand when u say delete pf do I do it once I’m lvl 1 on fm3 and when I delete the pf off my Xbox do I still need to be offline

Great solution, worked perfectly!

I had been playing Horizon 1 using my XB1 & then Series X using back compatibility on a disc. This was the last achievement that I needed so I turned to my 360 to earn it. I cleared off all the Forza Horizon stuff off my 360 but the cloud sync messed things up. Despite telling the system that I wanted to just play with the 360's version of the cloud save (which was older), it got corrupted and messed up my profile on the 360. No matter what I did (cleared cache, deleted profile, removed all Forza Horizon assets, etc), it kept telling me that my profile had been "tampered with" and it booted me back to the home menu. What fixed it for me was going to my Series X, clearing the cloud save there (using the Series X menu, not the 360 emulated menu) and starting a fresh game save. Then I was able to reload that save on the 360. Once I did that, then I could move that synced cloud save to the 360's HD, and start a fresh cloud save on my 360 (where my Forza Motors 3 save was). Hopefully, those of you who still need this won't encounter the problems I did, and in case you have something similar happen, that my troubleshooting helps you get past it.

By Tostie14 on 08 Mar 2021 23:02

Ugh. I think I'll pass. So many other achievements I can't get now that the game is discontinued. All the fuss with profiles makes this achievement one to let go.

By Trych Master on 26 Jul 2021 03:55

I unlocked this achievement yesterday, thank you so much for the guide. just a note, i didn't pass the saves to the cloud, both were on external storage and the achievement unlocked. Sometimes the achievement takes a while to hit, so don't forget: the servers are unpredictable, the loyalty message may take a while to appear, it took about 5 minutes for me after I got the yellow bracelet.

By HenriqueBass#538 on 30 Jul 2021 03:01

Can I avoid all this chicanery if I plan to hook my old 360 and play through FM3 and FM4 again?

By emcuewunbee on 05 Nov 2021 19:11

Thank you! Worked like a charm.

By FreshDeliBox on 27 Mar 2022 18:48

I did this with a spare Xbox 360 that didn't have my saves on it and it worked like a charm 2 years ago. Didn't need to disconnect from Xbox LIVE or anything, just had to redownload the profile after deletion.

By iDuL on 27 Apr 2022 06:11

By Ax0l on 24 Jul 2022 19:00

How do we move FH3/4 game saves to the cloud? In my games & apps, it won't let you move the saved games.

Is Forza MOTORSPORT 3 and 4 the only ones that will work for this?

To obtain this achievement you will need an FM3 or FM4 save game. Once you obtain your Yellow Wristband you will be prompted to go to the garage. Once you arrive you will recieve your cars and achievement.

If you start an FM3 or FM4 game after you start Horizon you will need to start a new Horizon career by selecting a different storage device on the Press Start screen (e.g. The Cloud). Once you've done that, play through until the Yellow Wristband again.

UPDATE: 17th Dec 2012
In the latest Title Update the bug where this doesn't unlock has been fixed. SImply go to Dak's Garage and Change car and the achievement and loyalty cars are yours

Is there a way to get this achievement without getting any achievement in F3 or F4? For instance, starting F3, creating a savefile then going back to dashboard?

By MortyDice on 17 Oct 2012 14:00

@mortydice. U can all way start forza 3or4 offline . do the first race to get a save then recover account that way u have a save but no achievement

By iCelviN Px on 17 Oct 2012 16:44

Thanks Celvin, how do you recover your account without letting xbox know you've got an offline cheevo?

By MortyDice on 17 Oct 2012 20:56

What level are you in both FM3 and FM4? Cause I own savegames for both games but didn't get the achievement. I read somewhere that you need to be 150 in FM4, but don't know if that's true.

By DoubleUD NL on 18 Oct 2012 02:28

I thought xbox had a rule where you couldn't tie achievements to other games?

By SoH Anarchy on 20 Oct 2012 22:12

Is this achievement linked to the Forza Horizon servers? I'm level 50 in Forza 3 and at level 100 in Forza 4 but haven't been told to go to the garage to get the loyalty bonus and I'm up to the blue wristband events.

By ozbuffinatic on 23 Oct 2012 11:05

Oz, its not working for me either... No Forza for level but my Forza 3 level was a 50.

By INMATEofARKHAM on 23 Oct 2012 18:38

You must be at least level 10 on FM3 or FM4, start a new game on FHor, get the yellow wristband, go to the garage and it will detect previous saved games then you will receive your cars and achievement..
P.S. you must have the save file of FM3 or FM4..

By Patrizia84 on 24 Oct 2012 05:03

Can I use a friends save copied from his HD to Pendrive to my HD?

By Smash41 on 24 Oct 2012 10:45

No because it will be his gamertag's save.

By MortyDice on 24 Oct 2012 11:21

I solved my issue by starting a new save on the cloud (and temporarily moving my FM3 and FM4 saves to the cloud as well). It still sucks though that you have to play like half an hour before the only checkpoint comes up.

So you need at least a level 1 FM3 or FM 4 save with your own GamerTag attached to it, play through the game untill you receive the yellow wristband. After that you're supposed to see a notification telling you older saves have been detected (didn't get that the first time oddly enough) and then you'll go to the garage and get your rewards.

By DoubleUD NL on 24 Oct 2012 13:42

Can anyone confirm on playing offline till level 10 for the save and recover account and get the achievement?

By BastiXS96 on 26 Oct 2012 06:50

I think missed the little message box that pops up when you are in the garage asking if you want the selection of cars from Forza 4. As a result of this I missed the achievement because Horizon does not offer the cars a second time. I think it is really important to go to the garage as soon as you have your yellow wrist band and then pay attention to the prompts. Until I read some of the comments, I thought the achievement just somehow popped up. The achievement is specifically about receiving the loyalty cars, and not whether you have previous versions of Forza (althought it obviouly follows)

I started a second save on the "cloud" to actually get the achievement. The trouble with that is that it leaves the loyalty cars that I received stranded in the cloud. They can't be gifted, so it looks like I have no way to incorporate them in my main save file.

By Runner7922 on 26 Oct 2012 15:57

Good addition, Runner7922. I considered making my cloud save the main save, but I didn't want to do it all over again so the loyalty cars are basically. Good thing I got the achievement though.

By DoubleUD NL on 26 Oct 2012 23:52

I tool did not get this cheevo when I got the yellow wrist band originally and went to the garage.
Now I'm not sure what did the trick or not.. But I moved both my Forza 3 & 4 game saves from the USB stick to the cloud storage then reloaded up the game selected the USB stick to load from (as my horizon save was made there originally ) then went back to the workshop garage and select 'change car' and soon as it went to the car select screen I got the MSG would you like to receive ur loyalty cars. Clicked on yes and the achievement popped. I'm so glad I didn't need to start another new game again :)
Has anyone just tried going back to the workshop garage and selecting change car to see if it will work? I'm not sure if that will do the trick or that I moved both save files???

By chriswhv6 on 27 Oct 2012 06:47

It worked using the "play offline then delete your account" method. :)

i missed this aswell but i was a green wristband and went to the garage,changed my car and the cheevo popped

By T4NGO IC3BL4ST on 29 Oct 2012 10:51

@chriswhv6: I just tried that and it didn't work unfortunately. Guess the save is just messed up.

By DoubleUD NL on 29 Oct 2012 12:22

This is a really poor achievement. I have never played a forza game until this one so it means I have to get an old game to get this. Surely any achievements should only be applicable to the game you are playing. POOR FORM FORZA!!!

By retroman42671 on 02 Nov 2012 14:19

I've got Forza Motorsport 4, I'm 50+ FM4 level, I've got FM4 savegame file... And nothing. Boh...

By Federcio2 on 29 Nov 2012 21:58

Worked thanks! But Turn10 really screwed the pooch here. It sucks I had to resort to using this method since the game-file I'm actually playing on wasn't the one that received the "loyalty cars".

Tried it last night and it didn't work. Restarted the career on another storage device after moving my saved game from FM3 and still nothing. This is total bs. I sold FM3 shortly after I beat it. I am not buying it again when I have the requirements and the stupid achievement just isn't working.

By Motorbiz on 20 Dec 2012 00:31

Pain in the butt-got it after my 3rd restart of Horizon,I don't have the loyalty car on my main/original save but at least I got the cheev out of the way.DoubleUD NL - His comment & method worked for me.

By Assassin Corvo on 07 Apr 2015 19:19

I have a save for FM3 on the cloud, after reaching level 1. I also made sure to start my FHor game on the cloud, per everything I've read about this achievement. I cannot for the life of me get the damn loyalty message to pop after receiving my yellow wristband. I've restarted this game three times now, deleting everything, and I can't get the message to show. This is stupid and frustrating.

By Cellar Attic on 12 Jun 2015 03:23

Try transferring the save from the Cloud to your HDD.

By GesterX on 12 Jun 2015 08:39

I've done that as well. One thing worth mentioning: my copy of FHor is digital. I'm deleting everything for that title, clearing my system cache, re-installing it, and trying again. This is annoying as hell.

By Cellar Attic on 12 Jun 2015 13:52

By Cellar Attic on 12 Jun 2015 14:18

Well it worked. Don't know if it was just luck or what, but I'd recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling the game if you have a digital copy. At least that's over with.

By Cellar Attic on 12 Jun 2015 21:29

By o DEEVIUS o on 15 Jun 2015 22:48

Had FH downloaded and with a save before I started FM3, deleted all Horizon files and redownloaded them was able to get all the loyalty rewards first try.

By Novakov on 13 Aug 2015 05:02

Started a new FH save on cloud storage with an existing FM4 save on my HD. Achievement popped as predicted after grabbing the yellow wristband and collecting the loyalty cars in the garage. All in all about 10 minutes of extra work!

By SwellCylinder87 on 02 Oct 2022 01:06

How do I move the game saves? Also, I have no option to select a game save location on the main screen.

By Whats a Chundy on 25 Jul 2023 03:39

Simple and straight to the point. I had to create a new save on my 360 through the console hard drive since I played through it on Xbox one. Luckily I had a save file from FM3. I unlocked it as soon as I got the yellow wristband and went back to the garage.

Before playing Horizon, I used the Forza 3 trick to gain a save on my HDD without having to commit to the game. The first time through Horizon, suprise suprise, the achievement didn't unlock despite having the Forza 3 save. I now have all the achievements bar this one. I've done exactly what you have done in the video 4 times with no luck. Any suggestions?

By Kongo Dragon on 29 Jan 2013 00:12

What worked for me was, I have an removable storage device, loaded up FM 3 and played through the 1st season (using the removable storage device for my FM 3 save location). Popped in Forza Horizon (again, using the removable device for the Horizon save game) qualified, got my yellow wristband, did the first Showcase event, bought the car for the 1st Festival event, got in it then the notification came up at the bottom of the screen about the Loyalty Cars, Went to the garage, when asked if I accepted them... hit yes... and POP goes the Achievement.

Hi,

I got this a while after I got my yellow wristband. Actually I had my green wristband!

What I think what did the trick was, that I never entered the garage when I was asked to do (But I'm not 100% sure of this).

When I learned of this achievement I moved my Forza 4 savegame to the same place where the Horizon savegame was.

In game I eventually went to a garage and there it popped up.

This probably won't work for everyone I just think this might be helpful for someone before you move around and create new savegames.

Hi,
Another "tip" I played fh until it sent me to collect the yellow wristband (my copy of fm3 hadnt arrived yet) and saved then quit before driving to collect. thinking I would be able to jump back in where I left off after getting my fm3 gamesave - nope.

In short I had to start a new game save for fh to get the achievement to unlock. Not wanting to loose my fh stats for my 1st I just transferred my fm3 save to an external hdd and started my new fh save there. (Obviously obtained using previously mentioned offline method).

Hopefully this will help someone and not have them waiting for fm3 (or 4) to arrive and thus not continue to play fh thinking it would work smoothly like me.

Just gonna throw in two things I had to do to get this achievement since the servers have been delisting...

1. The first thing is to not only have the FM3 or FM4 save on the same HD, but make sure you reach level 1 in that game save. I tried to get this achievement with a game save that was not yet level 1 and it did not pop. So I played FM4 til I was a level 1(3 races) and tried this again and it popped.

2. Not 100% on this one but it's either this or the one above that popped the achievement for me. When I tried to get this achievement on my first try with the FM4 game save that was not a level 1 yet, I did NOT hit any of the 100 pink signs that you have to hit for that sign achievement. So that lady guiding me through the entire beginning of the game didn't yet talk about it. I'm adding this because on my 2nd try I made sure to hit a few of those signs to see if it made a difference. She then talked about how to get all the signs. Then when I got the yellow wristband and was sent to the next location, the loyalty cars were then available at daks garage. Achievement popped. I do think it"s because of the game save being a level 1 but this 2nd thing is just worth noting that it may contribute to getting this achievement.

No credit taken, I would just like to share my experience as I did have a little trouble with this. I actually combined both SoH Anarchy & SSPc's methods in order to pop this.

Refer to both guides and include these steps where applicable.

Firstly, I deleted all saves on both storage devices (HDD & Cloud) for Forza Horizon & FM3. So delete 'ghosts & any saved games. You will need to start a new game on both. Then proceed with step 2.

Rather than get to level 1 on FM3 or 4. Get to level 2 instead.

Once you've got to level 2, return to dashboard then delete profile as step 4 above mentions.

Once profile recovered, move both 'ghosts & saved game' of FM3 or 4 to the Cloud. End of step 5.

Finally, when the game prompts you to choose a device, choose Cloud!

From here, continue with the steps above as normal. This may not be solid proof but it worked after 3 attempts without doing this above.

I have been on 1490 points for 5 years. Not anymore!

Let me know if it works for you please.

This will require either a FM3 or FM4 save file located on either your hard drive or the cloud. You need to have reached at least level 1 in either game for the achievement to unlock.

After you have completed the heat events and received your yellow wristband, you will be receive a popup message notifying you that you have ‘loyalty cars available.’ Go to the garage and select ‘Change Car,’ accept the gift cars and the achievement will unlock. Be sure to accept the gift cars, if you select ‘No Thanks’ you will not receive the cars or the achievement.

If you have started Horizon before creating a FM3 or FM4 save file you can always start a new Horizon career from a new storage device (eg, the cloud) and repeat the steps above.

(DEG23 credits NeedToAchieve for the video guide showing how to unlock this after you have already started a Forza Horizon game)
