Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

The latest update fixes the exploit that allowed users to farm ungodly amounts of credits in Eliminator.

Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix.

In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits.

Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog:

The Eliminator. This hotfix also restores access to The Eliminator in Horizon Play, with all players receiving a 2021 McLaren Sabre as a gesture of good will for the inconvenience of disabling this feature.

 

Auto Drive. Related to the Credits Exploit we have rebalanced the Rewards available in some game modes to prevent these from being exploited using Auto Drive.

 

Auto Drive is meant to be used as an accessibility feature, or for when your hands need a break from driving. It is not intended to be used as a way to earn credits without actively playing the game.

One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
