Step 1: Decode the Hidden Message

The first stage of unlocking the HZN-VI Rocket begins with a hidden audio and location trigger system tied to the game world.

Start by heading into the northern mountain region and locating the highest satellite dish in that area. This Radio Tower acts as the initial activation point.

Once you arrive:

• Drive up to the base of the Radio Tower
• Switch your in-game radio station to Horizon Wave
• Wait while parked directly under the main dish
• Set the in-game time to exactly 12:00 AM

If everything is done correctly, a faint static signal will begin playing. This is not random noise—it’s a Morse code transmission. After a short delay, the system will decode into a map waypoint that appears near the festival suburbs.

This is your signal that the first stage is complete.

Step 2: Complete the EventLab Challenge

Once the waypoint appears, the next phase takes you into EventLab, where the actual unlock challenge is hidden.

Drive to the marked location and you will find a concealed EventLab start gate. This is not labeled in the usual way, so it can be easy to miss if you’re rushing.

At this point, you may be prompted to enter or search for a custom blueprint. The correct one is titled:

“HZN_ROCKET_INIT”

After loading the blueprint, you’ll enter a custom-designed race event.

The challenge requirements are strict:

• Vehicle class: S2-Class electric vehicle only
• Track type: Neon night circuit
• Race length: 3 laps
• Target time: under 2 minutes and 30 seconds

This is not a casual race. The tight time requirement means you’ll need a well-tuned electric build with strong acceleration and clean cornering. Mistakes in the first lap usually make the time limit unreachable.

Step 3: Claim Your Vehicle

After successfully completing the EventLab challenge and beating the target time, the game does not immediately place the car in your garage. Instead, it uses the Horizon Festival message system.

To claim your reward:

• Return to the main Horizon Festival site hub
• Open your in-game messages
• Navigate to the “Gift” tab
• Look for the reward message
• Select “Claim Reward” to add the HZN-VI Rocket to your garage

Once claimed, the HZN-VI Rocket becomes available as a permanent addition to your collection.

The HZN-VI Rocket isn’t just a fast car unlock—it’s designed as a layered secret that pushes players to explore multiple systems in Forza Horizon 6, from environmental clues to custom EventLab content.
