In Forza Horizon 3, leveraging the Drivatar system enables you to enhance your festival’s performance and rewards significantly. Below is a detailed breakdown of how to effectively manage your Drivatar lineup.

Hiring Drivatars

1. Locate a Friend’s Drivatar: As you explore the open world, keep an eye out for cars featuring a “D” symbol on the HUD. This indicates the presence of a friend’s Drivatar that you can compete against.

2. Challenge and Win: Approach the identified Drivatar and initiate a race. To successfully hire them, you must outpace them in the competition. Winning this race is essential as it allows you to recruit their Drivatar into your lineup.

Utilizing Your Drivatar Lineup

– Once you have successfully beaten a friend’s Drivatar, it gets added to your Drivatar Lineup. You have a maximum capacity of 4 Drivatars at any given time, so it’s important to strategize your hires based on their performance.

– The Drivatars you employ contribute to earning credits and fans as they participate in various festival events, helping you to expand your festival’s profile and resources.

Firing Drivatars

– If you find that certain Drivatars are underperforming or if you want to make space for potentially better ones, you can manage your lineup through the Drivatar Lineup interface.

– Firing Process: To remove a Drivatar, navigate to the lineup management menu and select the underperforming Drivatar you wish to oust. This will free up a slot for a new hire.

Additional Features

– Drivatars can also join you in freeroam convoys, which allows for a more communal gameplay experience with friends. You can manage the convoys, inviting up to 4 Drivatars in total. This setup can be managed using the in-game assistant ANNA or through the pause menu, separate from the lineup used for hiring and firing.

Conclusion

Understanding the mechanics of hiring and firing Drivatars is crucial for optimizing your gameplay in Forza Horizon 3. By strategically selecting high-performing Drivatars, you ensure that your festival excels in events, earning you valuable credits and fans. Make the most of this feature to assemble a strong AI team that reflects your friends’ skills!
