The Skill System in Forza Horizon 2 rewards you for stylish driving. Performing actions like drifting, airtime, near misses, and speed skills builds a 'Skill Chain'. The longer the chain, the more Skill Points you earn. Accumulating Skill Points allows you to unlock 'Perks' from the Skill Shop, accessible from the Horizon Festival Hub. These perks offer various benefits:
- Credit Bonuses: Increase credit earnings from races or skill chains.
- XP Bonuses: Boost XP gain for faster leveling.
- Wheelspins: Grant additional Wheelspins.
- Fast Travel Discounts: Reduce the cost of fast travel.
- Car Discounts: Offer discounts on cars in the AutoShow.
- Skill Boosts: Increase the rate at which you earn specific skill points (e.g., Drift Skill Boost).
- Instant Rewards: Some perks grant immediate credits or cars.
Prioritize perks that align with your playstyle. If you love drifting, invest in drift-related perks. If you want to earn credits faster, focus on credit bonuses. The Skill System encourages you to drive creatively and rewards you for it.
