The house in Forza Horizon 5 that allows you to fast travel anywhere on the map is Buenas Vistas. Acquiring this property is essential for maximizing your efficiency and enjoyment in the game, saving you significant time and allowing you to seamlessly participate in events and explore the vast Mexican landscape.
Unlocking Fast Travel Freedom
The ability to fast travel to any road in Forza Horizon 5 is a game-changer. Initially, you can only fast travel to Horizon Festival sites or houses you’ve purchased. This restriction can be frustrating when you need to quickly reach a specific event or a location far from your current position. Buenas Vistas eliminates this constraint.
Acquiring Buenas Vistas
Buenas Vistas is located on the western coast of Mexico, near the town of Cascada. The house can be purchased for 2,000,000 credits. While this might seem like a substantial investment early in the game, the benefits it provides quickly outweigh the cost. You’ll find it on the map marked with a house icon. Look for it in the higher-end property range.
The Fast Travel Perk
Once you’ve purchased Buenas Vistas, you still need to unlock the fast travel anywhere perk. This requires destroying fast travel boards scattered across the map. Each board you destroy reduces the cost of fast traveling. The more boards you smash, the cheaper it becomes to zip around Mexico. This is crucial because, without destroying boards, fast traveling can be quite expensive, even after buying Buenas Vistas. The “Fast Travel Anywhere” perk will be unlocked when you have destroyed all 50 of the Fast Travel Boards.
Maximizing Fast Travel Efficiency
Even with Buenas Vistas and all fast travel boards destroyed, there are still ways to optimize your fast travel experience.
Car Mastery Perks
Certain cars have Car Mastery perks that further reduce the cost of fast travel or provide other fast travel-related bonuses. Check the Car Mastery tree of your favorite vehicles to see if any such perks are available. Investing Skill Points into these perks can save you a significant amount of credits in the long run.
Horizon Arcade and Other Events
Participating in Horizon Arcade events and other in-game activities can reward you with credits that can be used to offset the cost of fast travel, even before you smash all the fast travel boards. Consider using early game winnings to save up for the Buenas Vistas property.
Alternatives to Buenas Vistas
While Buenas Vistas is the only house that grants the “Fast Travel Anywhere” perk after destroying all the associated boards, there are other houses that provide various benefits that can indirectly aid in getting around the map more efficiently.
Other Houses and Their Perks
- Casa Bella (Free): This is the first house you get and while it doesn’t offer fast travel anywhere, it is a necessary beginning to unlock the house purchasing system.
- La Cabana: Situated close to the west coast, this house is relatively cheap and offers convenient access to various races and activities.
- Hotel Castillo: This property awards a daily Wheelspin, offering a chance to win cars, credits, and cosmetic items.
- Ek’ Balam: Located near the Ek’ Balam ruins, this house grants access to the “Ruins Exploration” Accolade.
- Lugar Tranquilo: A relatively inexpensive house located near the coast, this house provides a great scenic view.
- Dunas Blancas: This house near the dunes unlocks the “Sandstorm” Horizon Story.
Buying these houses allows you to use them as fast travel points, which is helpful before unlocking the “Fast Travel Anywhere” perk. They can also provide bonuses that make the game more enjoyable.
