Forza Horizon 5 features more than 500 different vehicles for players to use in the various races and activities across Mexico, but no offroad vehicle is as great as Halo's Warthog. When it comes to street, road, and even dirt races, the Warthog can find some difficulty among the rest of the competition. However, the stock version of the Warthog is undoubtedly the best offroad vehicle available in Forza Horizon 5. Players who are looking to run offroad races first in Forza Horizon 5 need to get behind the wheel of Halo's most iconic vehicle as soon as possible.
The Warthog is a Legendary vehicle in Forza Horizon 5, and its full model name is M12S Warthog CST 2554. The number 2554 most likely refers to the year it was issued in the Halo extended universe, and this period of time happens to take place between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4. There are a few different ways that players can acquire the Warthog in Forza Horizon 5, and it's available as soon as players move beyond the introduction phase.
The easiest way to get the Warthog in Forza Horizon 5 is by purchasing it outright for 850,000 credits. While this may seem like a daunting figure compared to the prices of some other cars in Forza Horizon 5, the Warthog is well worth the price. Players can easily earn 850,000 credits within the first hours of play by completing races, using the wheelspin feature, and using car mastery points. Car mastery points are built up by performing skills with whichever car is being driven, and some of the unlocks include more wheelspins and super wheelspins. Players can earn as many as 300,000 credits on some wheelspins, but even some of the smaller rewards of 25,000 credits quickly stack up.
How To Unlock The Halo Warthog In Forza Horizon 5
Alternatively, players can also unlock the Halo Warthog in Forza Horizon 5 by winning an auction bid. In some cases, the luckiest players can receive the Warthog as a gifted car in Forza Horizon 5. The auction takes a little more patience, but buying a stock Warthog in the auction can save as much as half the cost as the same model from the in-game dealer.
The Warthog is a popular vehicle to sell because it has the potential to bring in as much as 1,000,000 credits for some players. The only reason Warthogs are priced so high is usually because players upgrade the vehicle, which can be done just as easily to a stock Warthog purchased on a lower bid. Stock Warthogs can be purchased for as low as 500,000 credits. Players can search AMG Transport Dynamics in the "Make" section of the auction house to instantly bring up the Warthog, as it's the only vehicle from that maker in Forza Horizon 5.
In addition to offroad races, the Warthog is a great vehicle to build into a wheelie car in Forza Horizon 5. A few small upgrades to the stock model further set the Warthog above its offroad competition as well. These are the stock details of the Halo Warthog in Forza Horizon 5:
