Nailing the Barrel Roll in Forza Horizon 6 Is Easier Than You Think
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A guide on how to successfully execute a barrel roll in Forza Horizon 6 to complete the Series 2 Horizon Decades daily challenges, featuring tips on open-world locations and community custom events.
Forza Horizon 6 is finally here, and players diving into the Series 2 Horizon Decades playlist are quickly finding out that completing daily challenges requires more than just fast driving. One particular challenge, Rolling in the Jeep, tasks players with landing a clean barrel roll while behind the wheel of a specific vehicle. Executing this trick means getting your car to rotate sideways through the air without clipping any obstacles on the way down, which can be a frustrating exercise in trial and error if you do not know the right setup.
According to a detailed guide by Paulo Kawanishi over at Polygon, the secret to pulling off a reliable barrel roll lies in your approach. Hitting a large ramp with only half of your vehicle is the classic technique to force that lateral spin, but lining up the angle in the open world can take multiple attempts. Thankfully, the community has already stepped up with custom Event Lab creations to save everyone time and ruined suspension.
If you want to knock out the challenge without spending an hour hunting for the right ledge at the Tokyo City docks, you can bypass the open world entirely. Heading into the Creative Hub, opening the Event Lab, and searching for the share code 797 249 142 created by user BohdanSmolen will drop you right in front of a purpose built ramp designed for the trick. Just make sure you swap into a Jeep before attempting the jump, and you will secure your playlist rewards in no time.
