You’ve probably heard about the secret barn finds in forza horizon five but for those of you that don’t know what they are there are 14 barns hidden throughout the map of forza horizon 5 and in each of them is an iconic classic car for you to find. These can be hidden all over the place from thick jungles all the way to even being hidden on the volcanic mountain.
Each of the cars found in these barns will be a rusted car in need of restoration so when you find it it will be sent away for a little while until you’re able to collect them and drive them. So if you’re someone who is impatient like me then just read through this article and it will reveal all 14 of the barn locations for you.
Forza Horizon 5 Barn finds
Forza have designed this feature of the game in a way such that you won’t be able to just go and find every single barn as soon as you start the game. To have the barns spawn on your map you’ll need to first get a rumour which you can get from the representatives of the Horizon Festival like Alex or Alejandra.
Most of the rumours you get are tied in with the Forza Horizon 5 adventure campaign so if you just play the game for a bit you’ll actually see that you’ll receive some rumours just by doing what the campaign wants you to. However, you won’t be able to unlock all of the rumours like this so for the rest you’ll need to unlock another way like buying the La Cabana property which will grant you with a barn find rumour as a reward. Once you receive one of these rumours you’ll notice that there will be a purple circle on your map and this basically shows where the barn find is located.
So once you get these circles you’ll need to drive to them and search for the barn in this enclosed area. The barn that you’ll be looking for is a white building with two big yellow doors on the front of it. When you spot one of these buildings all you’ll need to do is drive up to it and a cutscene will begin to play on its own. In the cutscene you’ll see your character walk into the barn and get the big reveal of your rusted barn find. This barn will still be seen on your make because this will work as a place where you can send and receive cars as gifts from other players.
Once you’ve found the car you’ll see it in your garage but you won’t be able to use it until it is fully restored. The time that it takes to restore these cars vary and are based on the CR value of the repairs. The cost of the repairs does go down as time passes, so it acts more like a timer and if you don’t want to wait so long you can just pay the amount to get it instantly. For example the GMC Jimmy is a barn find that costs less than 100,000 credits to repair so it takes less than a hour to repair whereas, if we compare it to the Ferrari 250 GTO, which costs over 30 million credits, it would take much much longer.
You don’t have to constantly keep track of how far along the car is to getting repaired, you can instead just continue playing the game until you get the in-game notification to tell you the game is ready. Once you’ve received this notification then you can go into your ‘Garage’ tab in the menu, where you’ll find your new car.
So, without any further adieu here are the 14 Barn Find locations and the cars that each of them contain and even how to get the rumour in order to obtain the barn find in the first place.
