Unlocking the 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Coupe in Forza Horizon 6 requires players to complete a single match of the Hide & Seek game mode during the Summer Season. This guide covers the best hider strategies for the Ine Coast map, including how to blend in with AI traffic and a specific beach hiding spot to ensure a quick win.
Key Takeaways
- Requirement: Finish one game of Hide & Seek (win or lose) to earn the reward.
- Featured Reward: 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Coupe.
- Best Strategy: Use a grey paint job on the Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG to mimic NPC traffic cars.
- Top Hiding Spot: Use the shed located behind the Ine Coast beach for maximum cover.
How to Complete the Hide & Seek Seasonal Challenge
To secure the Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Coupe, you simply need to participate in the Hide & Seek mode found in the Forza Horizon 6 Festival Playlist. While you don’t technically need to win the match to earn the car, surviving as a Hider is the fastest way to gain XP and progression toward other seasonal goals.
Effective Hiding Strategy: The ‘Traffic Blend’
One of the most effective ways to evade Seekers on the Ine Coast is the “blending” technique. By choosing the 2013 Mercedes-Benz G 65 AMG and applying a standard metallic grey or silver paint job, your profile closely matches the AI traffic vehicles found throughout the Japanese inspired map. To make this work:
- Avoid using neon underglow or flashy rims.
- Drive at consistent, moderate speeds when Seekers are nearby to avoid drawing attention to your mini-map icon.
- Stay near main roads where AI spawns are frequent.
Best Hiding Spot on Ine Coast
If you prefer to stay stationary, the Ine Coast beach offers a high-value hiding location. Navigate to the coastal line and look for the small wooden sheds. Backing your vehicle behind the shed on the beach side breaks the line of sight from the main road, making it very difficult for Seekers to spot you unless they are manually patrolling the shoreline.
Why You Need the AMG Hammer Coupe
The 1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer Coupe isn’t just a collector’s item; it is a highly capable platform for A-Class and S1-Class builds. In the current Summer Season, it serves as a recommended vehicle for several PR Stunts and Speed Zones, making it an essential unlock for players looking to 100% the Festival Playlist.
