Forza Horizon 6 delves deeply into Japanese culture, and Chaser Zero is the epitome of this. This towering racing mech stands majestically on the skyline near the main Horizon Festival hub.

It's a highlight of Mech My Day Showcase Event and an iconic landmark of the open world, making it one of the most memorable sights in the game. This article will detail how to find Chaser Zero in Forza Horizon 6, race against it, and complete the photography challenge.

Chaser Zero is a giant robot located in Horizon Festival setting, designed to accompany players' vehicles at Mech My Day Showcase Event. Inspired by Japanese mecha culture, it nodding to the life-size moving RX-78F00 Gundam that stood at Gundam Factory Yokohama at Yamashita Pier.

It was once a 10-meter-tall robot on display in the real world, capable of moving limbs, turning its head, and striking various anime poses. However, due to escalating safety and maintenance costs, the attraction was permanently closed in March 2024. While not explicitly stated as a tribute, the intention was clear.

Chaser Zero performs various anime-style maneuvers in Mech My Day event, perfectly showcasing the exaggerated visual effects characteristic of Forza Horizon series.

Mech My Day is an exhibition event, but more of a performance than a competition, as it prioritizes visual spectacle over the outcome. In fact, you won't truly lose to Chaser Zero, as the mech will malfunction just before the finish line; the real challenge lies in reaching the finish line.

The event is absurdly exciting. Players will drive a high-performance, low-flying supercar against Chaser Zero. The event is divided into multiple stages, traversing various locations including city streets and elevated highways.

However, the real highlight is Chaser Zero itself. Not only can it be driven or flown, but it can also rampage through the environment with its immense weight, causing the ground to tremble with every step. During the race, the mech will continuously smash through overpasses, tear down traffic lights, and kick away wrecked vehicles, forcing you to constantly contend with the collapsing world around you.

The final battle is a frenzied high-speed sprint where Chaser Zero unleashes a powerful ground laser, blasting a fiery blast line behind you. Completing this event will reward you with a large amount of $1.

To unlock Mech My Day, you first need to fill the green wristband's progress bar. Once the bar is full, Mech My Day will appear on the map, becoming a primary wristband event that must be completed before obtaining the blue wristband.

If you follow the main storyline, the game will naturally guide you to this goal, so most players won't need to do anything special to unlock it. Here are the fastest steps for players to follow:

Note: Showcase Events provide exclusive vehicles, so you don't need to own the specific vehicle in your garage to participate in Mech My Day. After completing it once, you can retry the event on the map at any time.

You don't need to wait for the race to start to find Chaser Zero. This mech appears in the open world from the very beginning of the game and is parked within Horizon Festival venue before you trigger Mech My Day event.

Chaser Zero is located in the northern part of FH6 Ohtani region, near the main Horizon Festival track and hub. Getting there quickly is easy: open the map, navigate to Ohtani region, find the main Horizon Festival hub, and Fast Travel there. You'll see Chaser Zero once you arrive.

If you want to complete the photo challenge, make sure you actually trigger the in-game photo mode and take a picture, not just drive by. The target will only be recorded when you take a picture.

The significance of Chaser Zero extends far beyond the race itself. Mech My Day, one of the earliest showcases for Forza Horizon 6, established the tone for the game's Japanese setting. This mech was actually mentioned at a developer meet-and-greet, and it has certainly delivered on that promise. Piloting a building-sized robot through a giant animated scene - this absurd yet fun experience is the essence that distinguishes Forza Horizon 6 from other racing games.

Chaser Zero is not only a permanent landmark in the open world, but it also provides a practical function for the photography challenge and gives Horizon Festival hub area a unique visual identity. After testing the photography challenge from multiple angles, we found that the clearest photos were taken directly in front of the robot, allowing players to complete the photography task with Horizon Festival track as a backdrop.

Forza Horizon 6 has completely revamped its progression system. You might have noticed while racing through Japan that you no longer gain massive amounts of experience points every five minutes.

Now, spending three hours repeatedly grinding experience on the same track yields minimal rewards. Wheelspins have a three-level threshold, and the entire main storyline is locked within the online Wristband system.

Unlocking all content requires a significant time investment if you're just playing normally. Over the past few days, I've delved into FH6's upgrade mechanics and compiled some efficient tips to dramatically accelerate your progress.

If you want to activate Wheelspins through character leveling, I recommend utilizing Car Mastery system, Forza Horizon 6's vehicle privilege upgrade system. Each car has its own skill tree, and you need to spend Skill Points to unlock nodes that improve performance, grant extra points, or reward cosmetics.

The first node in the skill tree provides a consistent, fixed amount of experience based on the car's rarity, which is a key entry point for manipulating your economy and avoiding a lot of hassle. What you should pay attention to is Wuling Sunshine S 2013, which is selling for only 2,000 $1 at the auto show - an absurdly cheap price.

Although it's currently the cheapest car in Forza Horizon 6, the system classifies it as a rare vehicle. You only need to use 1 Skill Point to unlock the first node for a rare vehicle to directly gain 3,000 character experience points. Plus, spending Skill Point itself will give you an extra 200 experience points, totaling 3,200 points. Your cost is only 2,000 Credits and 1 Skill Point.

A single street race in FH6 can easily take twenty minutes. Instead of that, why not just get a Wuling Sunshine S 2013, unlock the node, then resell it to empty your garage, and repeat this process? In just a few minutes, you can easily farm tens of thousands of experience points.

While your FH6 character level determines how many spins you get, your wristband level restricts your access within FH6. Wristbands are your passport to the new Horizon Festival events. As you acquire new wristbands, you'll be able to participate in races with higher vehicle restrictions.

If you want to level up quickly in Forza Horizon 6, upgrading your wristbands as soon as possible is your top priority. As your accumulated points increase, you'll advance through seven different wristband levels. Reaching each new tier unlocks a dedicated wristband event, rewarding you with special vehicle prizes and a large amount of experience.

You might be tempted to turn off all assist options to prove your skill. But don't do that yet. When you achieve first place in any race on your first attempt, Forza Horizon 6 system rewards you with a significant amount of progress points.

Setting the difficulty too high, causing you to constantly restart races, is a pure waste of time. I recommend lowering the difficulty by one or two levels on your first attempt; this will almost guarantee a win on your first try. The benefits of increased progress far outweigh the score bonuses lost because of reduced difficulty.

With over 600 vehicles available at launch in Forza Horizon 6, Horizon Promo feature is a massive source of points. Each time you photograph a vehicle you haven't photographed before, Forza Horizon 6 awards you 10 points, which can be redeemed for the next wristband.

You don't need to drag your car out of the garage to take photos. Develop the habit of turning on photo mode at the start of each race, allowing you to photograph up to a dozen different cars at once, easily earning thousands of points while completing regular tracks.

Forza Horizon 6 has modified the mechanics of smashable boards. Now, the experience points gained from smashing skateboards directly translate into your Wristband progression. A board worth 1,000 experience provides 10 Wristband points; a 3,000 experience board gives 30 points; and a giant 5,000 experience board gives you 50 points at once. So once they appear on mini map, remember to head over and search for them immediately.

Forza Horizon 6 now makes fast travel completely free and even includes convenient features like autopilot. If you want to gain significant XP, I recommend sticking to manually driving to the next mission point and exploring the entire map.

Every time you complete a stunt challenge in speed zones, dangerous sections, and drift areas, you'll directly advance your wristband rank. Fast travel and autopilot will make you miss these. Besides, driving yourself will allow you to discover new areas and mascots along the way, continuously increasing your Explore Japan rank and unlocking more player residences and Barn Finds.

Clean driving does increase your standard skill combo multiplier, but what you really need to focus on are Link Skills. In the open world, when you perform certain actions near other players, both of you receive rewards, and this doesn't require joining an official team.

Forza Horizon 6 awards you 10 Wristband Points for each successful first use of a new Link Skill. If you leap off a hillside and a nearby player does the same, your level-up progress will instantly increase.

Stop wasting time completing inefficient events in Forza Horizon 6. Use these techniques to quietly build an amazing progress advantage in unexpected places.
