What is the Wrecking Ball Skill in FH5?

The Wrecking Ball skill is a type of skill you can earn after completing various obstacles that require you to damage objects. You’re going to want to do this fast because the skill will not be completed unless you can destroy at least 6 objects simultaneously. This is the only way you can earn this skill, so if you’re great at wrecking your car, go for it.

If you’re not sure where to find objects you can break, do a bit of exploration. As you’re exploring the beautiful environment, you’ll notice trees, fences, an assortment of plants, etc. These objects are breakable, and picking up enough speed will cause you to break them down easily.

After you have knocked over a few objects, you will earn The Wrecking Ball skill. Keep in mind that you will also earn skills such as Landscaping (destroy fences) and Wreckage (destroy items) before you get The Wrecking Ball skill.
