Pestilence Willy is even available in a Pikachu design.
Forza Horizon 5 was supposed to be all about really fast sports cars, cool rally cars and powerful off-road machines. Have a look here, what there is not all for great companions:

All 500+ cars at a glance
Instead, a harmless-looking World War II jeep, the 1945 Willys MB Jeep, is stealing the show from all the other petrol extractors – and we are even partly to blame for it.
A cheap jeep becomes a nuisance
What happened? Perhaps you still remember our article in which we explained to you how you can capture an infinite number of super wheelspins and huge amounts of credits in a very short time:
Forza Horizon 5
Get super wheelspins and credits quickly
With this method, the focus is on the Willys Jeep, because you have to buy it in large quantities. Then you invest five skill points in his skill tree and unlock an actually rare and valuable super wheelspin at a very affordable price.
This trick is highly effective and apparently also very popular: But what to do with all those superfluous jeeps as soon as they have done their job as a skill grave?
Many gamers apparently mistakenly assume that their little Willys could be in high demand. That’s why they put the things up for sale in the auction house or hide them in dark barns where gullible newbies get lost in search of a valuable gift. In most cases, however, the only thing waiting for them here is a lonely, worthless Willy, who makes for long faces when unpacking.
Of course, it’s annoying that the new feature of leaving other players a barn find gift is up to date pretty useless is. There are only Willys lurking everywhere. But the community takes it with humor and the meme machinery is in full swing.
For example, Reddit user PointlessBRZ published a snapshot from this year’s Horizon Festival, which – of course – shows a whole horde of wild Willys:

ReyneTrueThat, on the other hand, makes fun of his own wheelspin addiction as he apparently spends more time spinning the wheel of fortune than racing:

Johnny4999, on the other hand, is worried about his account and fears that a developer could discover the 312 Willys in his account:

But despite the omnipresent Willys, there is hope: LivingHelp3779 was lucky with the barn find and received a rare Forza Edition car from a kind fellow player:

What’s next with the Willys?
Currently, neither Xbox Game Studios nor developer Turn Ten have commented on the rampant Willy pandemic. The trick is currently still working, but it could be that action will be taken soon. The price of the Willys Jeep could possibly be increased or even the skill tree changed.
Since there were already similar methods for easily obtaining credits in Forza Horizon 4 and the current part no longer includes a ranking mode, maybe nothing will happen at all.

The multiplayer is as good and bad as GTA Online
In the test of the multiplayer mode, by the way, our Dimi explains what you can expect there and how much fun it is all.
