Forza Horizon 6 Guide: How to Complete Temper Tantrum Challenge

Q: What is the Wrecking Ball Skill in Forza Horizon 6?

The Wrecking Ball Skill triggers when you destroy 8 breakable objects in very quick succession. Objects that count include fences, signs, mailboxes, and small trees. The key word is succession: there needs to be almost no gap between hits, so you want a dense cluster of objects rather than a scattered trail. Completing the Wrecking Ball chain once earns you 5,000 credits and a series point toward unique car rewards. For the Temper Tantrum challenge specifically, you need to pull off this chain twice, so plan to run the sequence back-to-back.

Q: What do you earn from the Temper Tantrum challenge?

Each completed Wrecking Ball Skill chain pays out 5,000 credits and contributes a series point toward the seasonal reward pool. The series points accumulate across all weekly and daily challenges, unlocking unique cars as you hit point thresholds. Staying on top of daily challenges like Temper Tantrum is one of the faster ways to push your series total without grinding races. For more ways to build your playlist score, the Forza Horizon 6 Stunt Party location guide walks you through finding and finishing those events before the timer runs out. If you are working through the weekly challenges at the same time, the King of the Road weekly challenge guide covers all four tasks using the 1989 Nissan Silvia K's. For a full breakdown of every active challenge and car reward currently available, the Forza Horizon 6 guides collection has everything organized by season and week so you can plan your playlist runs efficiently.

The Temper Tantrum daily challenge in Forza Horizon 6 is part of the Week 3 Winter season and asks you to earn the Wrecking Ball Skill twice. That means smashing through 8 breakable objects in rapid succession, two separate times. It sounds simple, and it mostly is, but picking the wrong car or the wrong location can turn a 2-minute job into a frustrating loop of near-misses and broken chains.

Series points and credit payout

What is the best car for the Temper Tantrum challenge?

Vehicle weight matters more than speed here. A heavy, off-road SUV will plow through fences and small trees without slowing down, keeping your chain alive. Lighter sports cars can bounce off objects or lose momentum mid-chain, which breaks the skill sequence before it registers.

warning

Avoid using a tuned performance car with stiff suspension for this challenge. Low-clearance vehicles catch on terrain edges and stop dead on fences, killing your skill chain instantly.

Where should you go to chain 8 objects quickly?

Location is the other half of the equation. You need objects packed closely enough together that you can hit all 8 before the chain timer resets. Three spots work particularly well:

Festival site object clusters

Forest areas

Forests are the most reliable option. Small trees count as breakable objects and they grow close together, so driving in a straight line through dense woodland almost guarantees a clean 8-object chain. Aim for areas with younger, thinner trees rather than large trunks your car will bounce off.

The main Horizon Festival site

The Festival site is loaded with signs, tents, and decorative objects. Driving through the outer edges where signage clusters together can produce a fast chain. This spot is especially useful if you are already nearby for other challenges.

Highway median sections

Highway medians are packed with poles, fences, and dividers. Pick a stretch of road with a long, uninterrupted median and drive straight through it. The objects are evenly spaced enough to keep the chain alive without requiring any steering adjustments.

info

Highway medians respawn their objects after a short time, so you can use the same stretch twice if you need to repeat the chain for the second Wrecking Ball Skill.

How to complete the Temper Tantrum challenge step by step

Select a heavy off-road SUV from your garage.
Drive to a forest, the Festival site, or a highway median.
Line up your approach so at least 8 breakable objects are directly in your path.
Accelerate to a solid speed before entering the object cluster.
Drive through without braking. Keep momentum through all 8 hits.
Wait for the Wrecking Ball Skill notification to appear on screen.
Repeat the chain a second time to satisfy the Temper Tantrum requirement.

Highway median chain run

info

If your chain breaks at 6 or 7 objects, you are likely losing speed mid-run. Either pick a denser cluster of objects or switch to a heavier vehicle with more mass.
