A new feature of Forza Motorsport 6 is Mods, which give players the chance to affect the race in a number of ways, be that adding additional challenges, changing the handling of the car, or delivering additional bonuses at the end of a race.
Turn 10 describes the mod system as being similar to perks in Forza Horizon 2 or Skulls in Halo 4, which can be unlocked as you play.
Mods can only be used in Career or in Free Play modes, and are not allowed in multiplayer or Leagues races or in Rivals events. Mod packs can be won as part of the Prize spinner or purchased for in-game credits.
Mods come in the following three categories:
Dare
Dare Mods challenge the player to get out of their comfort zone and perform with specific driving requirements that will test their skills. All Dare Mods can be used as many times as the player likes, but only one dare can be used at a time.Â
Some examples of Dare mods include:
Severe Power Decrease – Power decreased by 8%. Hit the objective to earn +20% credits.
Manual With Clutch – Manual transmission with clutch. Hit the objective to earn +20% credits.
Back of the Pack – Start in 24th Grid Position. Hit the objective to earn +30% credits.
Crew Mods
Crew Mods give the player a specific performance advantage during a race, depending on the Crew Mod used.
Some examples of Crew mods include:
Chassis Expert – -7% weight, +3% grip
Braking Engineer – +20% braking, +5% power
Boost Mods
Boost Mods give the players a specific advantage during a race or a bonus for performing well in a race. Boost Mods can only be used once – after they are used in a race, they will be automatically discarded from your Mod inventory.
Some examples of Boost mods include:
Pristine Drafting – Earn 3,000 credits for Perfect Drafts up to 18,000 credits.
Ghost – Your car has no collisions for the first lap of this race.
Superior Payout – Earn +60% credits for a single race
All Mods have rarity ratings – the more rare the Mod, the more powerful effects it can have on your race or on the post-race bonus you receive.
Forza Motorsport 6 arrives exclusively on Xbox One on September 18. Pre-order it now from Amazon.
