Players need to do various tasks to complete challenges in Forza Horizon 5. Some of these tasks will involve them destroying certain objects. One of these objectives is for players to smash tank piñatas.

Gamers can find these piñatas scattered about in different race modes of Forza Horizon 5. However, these are ways that players can increase their chances of stumbling upon these special objects while driving through the open-world of the title.

How players can smash tank piñatas in Forza Horizon 5

Players of Forza Horizon 5 can smash tank piñatas in a few different modes, but by far, the best way for players to do so is by visiting the EventLab.

Accessing the EventLab

Players can access the EventLab to give themselves a much easier time with finding the piñatas. This allows them to use other players' shared races, with special events that players can join.

Players can access the EventLab by going to the pause menu, cycling to the Creative Lab, then to Event Lab, and finally by selecting the Event Blueprints.

Once players are at the Event Blueprints menu, they can either search for things such as "tank piñata" or, to make it as easy for them as possible, they can go with a share code such as 130 626 112.

This is provided by YouTuber "STEVIO2175" and basically aligns all of the tank piñatas in an easy-to-smash singular line that players can complete very easily.

Smashing the tank piñatas

To utilize the share code to the best of their ability, players should not just drive the car full speed into the piñatas. Instead, they should drive at a controlled speed and lightly clip the outside of the piñatas.

This will ensure that the player receives credit for each one that they hit. Although, the player can try again or find another race to smash more.

Once players complete this challenge, they will be awarded 3 points and a special message that comes to them in Forza Link that says "Tanks for the Memories."

Players can then put this task behind them as they move on to other challenges to complete their Pass. Although, players can still smash these delightful piñatas as much as they want to.
