Guide on How to Get GOLD WRISTBAND in Forza Horizon 6

How does the progression system work in FH6?

Before we jump straight into the GOLD WRISTBAND, we gotta understand how to progress fast in Forza Horizon 6. There's lots of differences between FH5 and FH6 progression. In FH6, you can progress in two ways:

1. Horizon Festival Progress

2. Discover Japan

You don't actually need both to get GOLD WRISTBAND in Forza Horizon 6. Only Horizon Festival Progress matters for this. Stuff like delivering food, photography, or Drift Club, which are Discover Japan activities, won't help you at all.

Mandatory events to get GOLD WRISTBAND in Forza Horizon 6

To move forward in Horizon Festival Progress, you gotta complete every event in every series:

• All Road Racing events

• All Dirt Racing events

• All Cross Country events

• All PR Stunts (Speed Zones, Danger Zones, Drift Zones)

Points you need to get from each race

How many points you get from each race depends on your skill, but generally for Dirt, Cross Country, or Street Racing, the points go like this:

Best cars and best difficulty level

Your chances of getting the GOLD WRISTBAND go way up when you use properly tuned cars. But it'd be wrong to say you can only do it with one specific car. You should have 3 to 5 cars properly tuned so you can perform well in any event under any conditions and get the points you need. (To learn about proper tuning, check out the Build and Tune in Forza Horizon 6 guide.)

Right difficulty level for earning points

If you think you gotta use Unbeatable difficulty, you're dead wrong. Your failure rate will go through the roof (unless you're a pro player). My advice is to lower the difficulty until you can get first place. Sure, your Credit earnings drop a bit, but you can make up for that later by unlocking Goliath and other longer races.

Extra points from PR Stunts and XP Bonus Boards

Getting points isn't just about finishing first. You can also hit PR Stunts during races and get three stars in Speed Zones, Danger Zones, or Drift Zones. Doing this gets you an extra 100 Horizon Life points. I suggest using Hoonigan cars or KTM or similar ones. With those, getting three stars is way easier.

Another way to get more points is through XP Bonus Boards. Here's how many points they give:

• Small boards: 10 points

• Large boards: 30 points

• Total boards: 200 boards on the map

These extra points are a huge help for getting GOLD WRISTBAND in Forza Horizon 6 and can really push you forward.

Wristband order to get the GOLD WRISTBAND

Each time you get a wristband, a new Horizon Festival Event unlocks for you, and you gotta complete it to get the next wristband. These events are usually Horizon Rush or a Three Star Stunt. From my experience, NPC events are easier than the others. The wristband order is:

1. Yellow wristband

2. Green wristband

3. Blue wristband

4. Pink wristband

5. Orange wristband

6. Purple wristband

7. Gold wristband
