Two essential quality-of-life features in Forza Horizon 3 are Fast Travel and Drone Mode:
- Fast Travel: Initially, fast travel costs credits. However, by smashing all 50 Fast Travel Bonus Boards scattered across the map, you can unlock free fast travel to any discovered location. This saves immense amounts of time when moving between festival sites or specific events. To fast travel, simply open your map, select a destination, and hold the fast travel button.
- Drone Mode: Activated by pressing down on the D-Pad, Drone Mode allows you to freely fly a camera drone around the map. This is incredibly useful for scouting out hard-to-reach Bonus Boards, Barn Find locations within their search circles, or simply capturing stunning cinematic screenshots. You can control the drone's speed and altitude, making it a powerful tool for exploration and photography.
Utilize these features to make your Horizon experience more efficient and enjoyable. Drone Mode is particularly helpful for finding those elusive collectibles.
