Egg Salad Sandwich Collectible Forza Horizon 6 Guide

Yes, the egg salad sandwich collectible is a real, hidden item in Forza Horizon 6, and finding all of them unlocks a unique car horn and a special accolade. You locate them by driving near their glowing icon on the map, then physically driving through the sandwich to collect it. This guide explains exactly how the collectible works, where to look, and what you get for your trouble.

Formula

The calculator above works out your average pace and speed for any drive. The formula for pace is:

Pace = Time (minutes) ÷ Distance (kilometers)

And speed is:

Speed = Distance (kilometers) ÷ (Time (minutes) ÷ 60)

Where Time is in minutes, Distance is in kilometers, Pace is in minutes per kilometer, and Speed is in kilometers per hour. If you work in miles, convert distance to kilometers first (1 mile = 1.60934 km) or use the same formula with miles and hours—just keep the units consistent.

Worked Example

Using the default values from the calculator—50 minutes and 10 kilometers—the pace calculation is:

Pace = 50 ÷ 10 = 5.00 min/km

Speed = 10 ÷ (50 ÷ 60) = 10 ÷ 0.8333 = 12.00 km/h

So if you drive 10 km in 50 minutes, your average pace is 5 minutes per kilometer, and your average speed is 12 km/h. The calculator rounds to two decimal places, so you see 5.00 and 12.00.

What Is the Egg Salad Sandwich Collectible?

In Forza Horizon 6, the egg salad sandwich is one of several “food-themed” collectibles scattered across the open world. It appears as a small, glowing sandwich icon on your map once you are within a certain radius. Unlike the classic bonus boards or barn finds, these sandwiches are purely for fun—they have no effect on your car’s performance or your wallet. Instead, they feed into a collection tracker under the “Horizon Stories” tab, and collecting all of them rewards you with a special car horn that plays a cheerful “crunch” sound, plus an accolade that shows off your dedication to the hunt.

The sandwich is a nod to the British seaside snack, and its placement in the game is deliberately whimsical—you might find one on a picnic table, on a beach towel, or even on the roof of a bus stop. It is not a glitch or a joke from a mod; it is an official part of the game’s collectible system, added in the base game and expanded in later seasonal updates.

How to Find and Collect the Sandwiches

Finding all the egg salad sandwiches is a mix of exploration and map reading. Here is how it works:

• Unlock the map filter: Open your map and select the “Collectibles” filter. The sandwiches appear as small, yellow sandwich icons, but only after you have discovered the nearby road or area.
• Drive close enough: The icon only shows up when you are within about 150 meters. If you are far away, you will see a blank area on the map—so you have to explore physically.
• Drive through the sandwich: Once you see the glowing sandwich in the world, simply drive your car through it. You do not need to stop or get out; the game registers the collectible on contact.
• Check your progress: Go to the “Horizon Stories” tab in the pause menu to see how many you have collected out of the total. The total is 20 sandwiches in the base game, with 5 more added in the “Seaside Picnic” seasonal update.

Some sandwiches are on rooftops or in areas that require a bit of off-road driving. If you cannot reach one, try using a car with high ground clearance or a rally suspension—but most are placed on flat, accessible spots.

Common Problems and Misconceptions

Many players assume the sandwiches are a one-time event or that they disappear after a certain season. They do not—they stay in your world permanently once you find them. Another common issue is that the map icon does not appear even when you are close. This usually happens because the sandwich is inside a building or under a bridge, and the game’s icon is hidden. In that case, drive around the structure slowly; the icon will pop up when you are directly above or beside it.

Some players also wonder if the sandwiches are tied to a specific car or if you need a certain vehicle. They are not—any car works. The only requirement is that you are in free roam, not in a race or event.

How to Choose the Best Route for Collecting

If you want to collect all sandwiches efficiently, plan a route that covers the map in a logical order. Start at one corner of the map and work your way across, using the in-game “Horizon Route” feature to set waypoints. The sandwiches are clustered in three main regions: the coastal town of Brimley, the forested area around the Caldera, and the desert flats in the east. Driving a fast car with good handling, like a sports coupe, will make the trip quicker, but a rally car is better for the off-road sections.

Here are a few tips for route planning:

• Use the “Horizon Route” to create a custom path that passes near each icon.
• Skip any sandwich that is on a steep hill until you have a car with good grip.
• Collect the ones near fast-travel points first, so you can teleport back if you miss one.

Comparison to Other Collectibles

Forza Horizon 6 has several collectible types, and the egg salad sandwich is one of the more obscure ones. The classic bonus boards give you influence points, and the barn finds unlock new cars, but the sandwiches only give a horn and an accolade. Compared to the “Hidden Barns” which require a specific car to crack open, the sandwiches are simpler—no puzzle, no key, just drive through.

In terms of difficulty, the sandwiches are easier than the “Speed Traps” (which require hitting a certain speed) but harder than the “Road Signs” (which are just scattered on the ground). The reward is cosmetic, so if you are a completionist, they are worth the time; if you only care about cars, you can skip them.

Costs and Rewards

There is no in-game currency cost to collect the sandwiches—they are free. The only cost is your time. The reward for collecting all 25 is:

• A unique car horn called “Crunchy Bite” that plays a sandwich-bite sound effect.
• An accolade worth 100 points, which counts toward your Horizon Festival star level.
• A player badge that shows a sandwich icon on your profile.

If you are aiming for 100% completion in the game, these sandwiches are a required part of that grind. Otherwise, they are a fun side activity that adds a bit of charm to the world.

Safety and Accuracy Notes

While collecting sandwiches, you will be driving around the open world—always follow the game’s traffic rules if you are in a road-based area, and be careful not to crash into other players in online mode. The game does not penalize you for off-road driving, but you can damage your car if you hit a rock or tree. There is no real-world safety concern, of course, but in-game, use a car with a repair kit if you are worried about durability.

Also, note that the total number of sandwiches may change with future updates. As of the current version, the base game has 20, and the seasonal update added 5 more. Always check the in-game counter to see the current total, as it updates automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do the egg salad sandwiches respawn after I collect them?
No, they do not. Once you drive through a sandwich, it is permanently collected and disappears from the world. If you miss one, you can still find it later, but it will not come back after you get it.

Q: Can I collect sandwiches in a co-op session?
Yes, you can. If you are in a convoy with friends, each player can collect the same sandwich individually. However, the icon only appears for you if you have not collected it yet. If your friend has already collected it, it will not show up for them, but it will still be there for you.

Q: Is there a map showing all sandwich locations?
The game does not provide a full map overlay, but community-made maps are available online. However, using them is not necessary—the in-game filter and exploration will reveal them all eventually.

Q: What happens if I miss a sandwich during a season?
Nothing. The sandwiches are not tied to seasons; they are permanent. The seasonal update added new ones, but they stay in your world forever once you find them.

Q: Do the sandwiches affect my car’s performance?
No, they are purely cosmetic. They do not give you any speed, handling, or influence bonuses. The only tangible reward is the horn and the accolade.

Q: Can I sell the sandwich or the horn?
No, the horn is a permanent unlock that you can equip in the garage, and you cannot sell collectibles. Once you have the horn, it is yours for any car.
