Forza Horizon 6 Under the Lights Challenge Vending Machine Locations
If you are diving into the Series 1 Winter Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6, you’ve probably noticed the "Snack Attack" Collectibles Challenge. The goal is simple: find and smash five vending machines. Pulling this off bags you 3 Playlist Points and unlocks the 2023 Lotus Emira.
The catch? These vending machines do not show up on your mini-map. Hunting them down one by one while driving blind through the streets can be a massive time-sink.
To save you the headache, here are the absolute best places to find them, including one magical spot where you can finish the entire challenge in about five seconds.
Location 1: Minamino Golf Course (The Absolute Fastest Spot)
If you just want to get this challenge over with as quickly as possible, head straight here. There is a 365 Convenience Store that actually houses all five required vending machines right next to each other.
  • Map Position: You will find this on the eastern side of the Minamino Golf Course, just south of Shirakawa-Go. It sits right next to the Airfield Trail dirt racing event.
  • Where to look: Drive up to the front of the 365 shop and you will see three vending machines lined up together. The remaining two are tucked against the building just over to your left. Smash all five, and boom—you are done.
Location 2: Northwest Tokyo City (Near the Photo Challenge)
If you like multitasking and want to knock out your weekly Photo Challenge at the same time, heading into the city is your best bet.
  • Map Position: Go to the northwest quadrant of Tokyo City, roughly southwest of the Edogawa Baseball Stadium.
  • Where to look: Look for the gas station sitting directly under the highway overpass. Pull onto the forecourt and you will spot two vending machines. The third one is just around the corner against the side wall of the building.
Location 3: Raku Raku Food Delivery (Central Tokyo)
Central Tokyo is littered with red and blue machines, but if you want a guaranteed cluster, the food delivery hub is a great fallback.
  • Map Position: Fast travel directly to the Raku Raku Food Delivery Job icon in Central Tokyo City.
  • Where to look: Two vending machines are sitting right inside the delivery spot. If you cross the street into the unmarked parking lot, you will find a third. Need two more? Just look further west down the sidewalk.
Location 4: Soccer & Olympic Stadiums
If you happen to be drifting around the massive stadiums, you can easily pick up a few accidental smashes here.
  • Where to look: Take a slow drive along the outer perimeter paths and entrance gates of either the Soccer Stadium (on the left side of the map) or the large Olympic Circle Stadium. Multiple standalone vending machines line the walkways leading right up to the stadium gates.
Pro-Tips to Save Your Sanity
  • The Respawn Trick: You don't actually need five different vending machines. If you find a spot with only two or three, smash them, fast travel to a distant part of the map, and fast travel right back. The map resets, the machines respawn, and you can smash them again.
  • Watch for the Pop-up: To make sure your smash actually registered toward the playlist, look out for the "Feed Me!" Skill Chain notification on your screen, which also grants you 1,000 skill points.
  • Watch Your Angles: A few of the machines in Tokyo are wedged tightly against building walls. If you blast past them, you might miss. Approach them a bit slower and angle the corner of your bumper directly into the machine to guarantee it breaks.
