Editing M12S Warthog CST/Gameplay

{{Status|Gameplay}}
'''NOTE''': The acceleration times and braking distances provided below may vary in-game depending on the in-game weather and season conditions and whether or not the player is in a DLC expansion map (e.g. Blizzard Mountain, Horizon Hot Wheels, Fortune Island).

== General ==
* The M12S CST is eligible for the following preset car themes:
** Anything Goes
** Extreme Offroad
** American All-Stars (vehicles from the United States of America)
** Heavy Hitters (vehicles weighing at least 4,400&nbsp;lb (1,996&nbsp;kg))
* The M12S Warthog CST is ideal for many Cross Country or Dirt Racing events, particularly short or medium-length Cross Country routes and Scramble routes.
** Tuning the vehicle is highly recommended to get the fastest lap times possible in Class A on short Cross Country routes and Scramble routes.
* Due to its low default top speed of only {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the Warthog is not recommended for longer routes, especially Head-to-Head Races, Sprints, Trails, and long Circuits, even more so on any Drivatar Difficulty exceeding Pro. The Warthog will easily be overtaken by hypercars/track cars like the Mosler MT900S, Hennessey Venom F5, and Koenigsegg Jesko, as well as other offroad-oriented vehicles like the Bowler EXR S and MG Metro 6R4.
** It is obviously not recommended for use in drag races longer than a quarter mile (402 m) due to this. However, this ultimately depends on the driver skill and the vehicle's tune.
** Try to avoid any events marked as "Anything Goes", as entering those events will make the Warthog far more likely to be matched against vehicles with a similar Performance Index class (e.g. Audi TTS Coupé, Porsche Taycan Turbo S), especially in PvP and/or [[Cooperative play|Co-Op]] sessions.
** Its ideal competition is other vehicles in the Offroad, Extreme/Unlimited Offroad, or Rally Monsters car types.
* Take advantage of the vehicle's strong launch to overtake opponents at the start, especially when doing solo races.
* The M12S Warthog CST is ideal for traveling through rough terrain, although it has a tendency to slide through corners, especially if driven aggressively.
* Its high ride height allows it to traverse through shallow water more easily than most other vehicles.
* It is ideal for Wreckage skills, as it is more than heavy enough to destroy multiple objects at once or in a short amount of time without losing too much speed or even breaking a Skill Chain.
* Even with a properly tuned and adjusted RWD Drivetrain swap, the Warthog is still less than ideal for drifting, as despite having a twin-turbocharged V8 at stock, it has insufficient wheelspin to drift properly.
** Because of this, it is highly recommended to avoid using the Warthog for Drift Zones, even offroad ones, and instead use a better suited, drift-tuned vehicle like the Ford F-100 or Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT Apex.
* The M12S Warthog CST is not an ideal choice for most PR Stunts, as it lacks the speed to get 3 stars or even 2 stars on most PR Stunts, especially Speed Traps and Speed Zones on asphalt roads.
** For Speed Traps and Speed Zones on asphalt roads, faster cars like the Hennessey Venom F5, Koenigsegg CCGT and Jesko, and Mosler MT900S are far more suitable choices.
** For offroad Speed Traps and Speed Zones, the Hoonigan Ford RS200 Evolution is a better choice. Failing that, heavily upgraded Rally Monsters or other Extreme Offroad vehicles will also do well.
** The M12S CST has enough speed to achieve at least 2 stars on some Danger Signs.
* When creating a design for the M12S CST, the red triangular markings on the vehicle's body do not disappear, but can be covered with vinyls.
* There are a total of five exclusive manufacturer decals for the M12S CST: three post-war UNSC logos and two Liang-Dortmund Corporation logos.
* When putting the M12S Warthog CST for sale in the Auction House, the vehicle has a minimum starting price of 85,000 CR and a normal maximum starting price of 920,000 CR.
** The M12S CST's normal minimum buyout price is 468,000 CR (rounded up from 467,500), while the normal maximum buyout is 1,005,000 CR.

== ''Forza Horizon 3'' ==
* The M12S Warthog CST is a "Rare" vehicle, meaning it cannot be bought from the Autoshow by normal means. It can only be obtained through the following:
** By having played either ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'' or  ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' between September 6, 2016 and September 23, 2016 and receiving a redeemable code to unlock the vehicle.
** #Forzathon events in October 2016 (The Halo Weekender), February 2017 (Who Wants Seconds?), January 2018 (Hot and Heavy Horizon), and March 2018 (Play in the Mud)
** Auction House

* It can only be upgraded to S1 802 at most.
** Despite this, it is entirely possible for Drivatars to drive the M12S with a higher class, sometimes even reaching X 999. This is most easily observed when the player drives a car upgraded to X 999 (e.g. Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4) and enters an Anything Goes race event with it.

== ''Forza Horizon 4'' ==
* The M12S Warthog CST can now be purchased normally from the Autoshow for 850,000 CR, thus making it much more accessible.
** In Series 10 (June 6, 2018 14:30:00 GMT - July 4, 2018 14:29:59 GMT), the M12S was also obtainable by reaching League 10 in Ranked Adventure.
* As of the Series 3 update in November 2018, the M12S Warthog CST's stock rims now come with two advanced paint groups: Paint Group 1 and Inner Barrel.
** Changing the rim style potentially allows for more advanced paint groups for the rims. The total number of advanced paint groups for the rims available depends on the type of rims selected.
* The M12S Warthog CST has a Legendary rarity, making it extremely rare in the Wheelspin, especially as the Wheelspin tends to prioritize other Legendary items (including ''Forza Edition'' cars).
** It does have a slightly higher chance of appearing in a Super Wheelspin though. Even then, depending on your luck, it may be much better to obtain the M12S CST through the Autoshow for the full 850,000 CR price or through the Auction House for a lower price.
*** As of Series 11 (July 2019), every car, including the M12S, has a dynamic maximum price based on how often it sells in the Auction House, up to a maximum of 20,000,000 CR. This can allow players to obtain the M12S Warthog for more than 60% off the 850,000 CR value.

※ The power, torque, and Performance Index delta figures provided in the table above are with the Twin Turbo aspiration swap. The Positive-Displacement Supercharger aspiration swap provides smaller gains.
* The highest class it can reach is S1 853. The following parts must be installed:
** Racing 7.2L V8
** Twin Turbo
** Race Ignition
** Race Engine Block
** Race Twin Turbo
** Race Intercooler
** Race Flywheel
** Any low-weight rim style (3,300 - 4,000 CR)
*** As of the November 2018 Series 3 update, this requires a total of 75,700 - 76,400 CR. This will take the M12S's total garage value to 926,400 CR.
** It makes a maximum of 1,356&nbsp;hp (1,012&nbsp;kW) and 1,021&nbsp;ft·lb (1,385 N·m) of torque from this engine swap with the Twin Turbo aspiration swap installed.
** Despite having a wider range of upgrades than before, it is still ineffective in Rivals or PvP events featuring S1 Class vehicles or higher due to the strong presence and superior performance of vehicles like the Jeep Trailcat, Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe (C8), etc., as it does not have enough upgrades to reach the top of S1 Class.
*** In spite of the M12S only being upgradable to S1 853, Drivatars can be seen driving the M12S with a class of S1 860. This is most easily observed if the player drives a vehicle with a class of at least S1 865 (e.g. anything that can be upgraded to X 999 or at at least S2 Class) and enters a solo or co-op race event with a small list of eligible vehicles (preferably a custom list), including the M12S itself.
** However, the Warthog is now more competitive on PR Stunts due to its increased speed, making it an ideal choice for some Danger Signs and offroad Speed Zones.
** The highest speed it can reach is 163&nbsp;mph (263&nbsp;km/h), which can be achieved with widening the vehicle's gear ratios. Adjusting the Final Drive to a lower value like 4.90 is enough, although the player can also fine-tune the individual gear ratios to their liking.
*** With the increased speed, the Warthog is more capable of taking on longer drag race routes, but its increased speed's effectiveness still diminishes drastically on race routes with very long straight sections, such as The Juggernaut, which is 2.6&nbsp;mi (4.2&nbsp;km) long. Here, the M12S is easily overtaken by the likes of the Ferrari 599XX Evoluzione (which is capable of easily exceeding 311&nbsp;mph (500&nbsp;km/h)) and the ''Welcome Pack'' version of the Toyota #1 T100 Baja Truck.
* To tune the vehicle to A 800, the player must install the following:
** Racing 7.2L V8
** Race Intake Manifold / Throttle Body
** Race Ignition
** Race Flywheel
*** This requires a total of only 56,550 CR.
* Combining the Racing 7.2L V8 with a RWD swap and Twin Turbo upgrades allow the Warthog to be more easily driftable.
* Exercise caution when using the Warthog for A Class online races, especially Road Racing Series and Street Scene events, as there is a high chance that the player will run into superior cars like the Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ2, Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, and BMW 850CSi, none of which the Warthog can compete with except in Dirt Racing events. For this reason, the Warthog should be avoided in Road Racing Series and Street Scene events.
** In offroad races, the Warthog is an effective choice, albeit usually inferior to other vehicles like the Hot Wheels Bone Shaker, Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, Mercedes-Benz X-Class X 250 d, and Ford F-150 Raptor, which have better speed overall.
** In A Class Rivals leaderboards on Cross Country Circuits and Scramble routes, the M12S is also an effective choice, capable of reaching the Top 100 or at least Top 500, although this ultimately depends on driver skill and, in some cases, the selection of vehicles offered in the Rivals event, as well as the length and complexity of the route.
* The Warthog can be used in #Forzathon Live events, but it is most effective when used during rounds involving earning Air Skills or going through offroad Speed Zones.
* As the Warthog is an Extreme Offroad vehicle, unlocking its Car Mastery Perks (see below) allows for more Influence to be earned while racing in Cross Country Series events in this vehicle.
* In the ''LEGO Speed Champions Expansion'', the "Comin At Ya" Brick Challenge requires the player to exceed 120&nbsp;mph (193&nbsp;km/h) in the Warthog while in Horizon LEGO Valley. It is a Medium difficulty Skills Brick Challenge that can most easily be done with upgrades to the Warthog (e.g. installing the Racing 7.2L V8 engine swap). Although it is still entirely possible with a stock (A 756) vehicle, it will require the player to make adjustments to the gearing to be able to exceed 120&nbsp;mph (193&nbsp;km/h).
** With either method, the easiest way is to start at the Falcon Speedway at the northwest corner of the map and head towards Brickchester southeast of the Falcon Speedway.
* As of the Series 18 update (January 14, 2020), the M12S Warthog is a playable car in Tier 7 of The Eliminator.

=== Car Mastery ===
The following is a table listing all of the M12S Warthog CST's Car Mastery Perks, as they appear in the game. Note that only "Collector's Item" can be unlocked from the beginning, after which the player can unlock adjacent perks as they go.

This Weekly #FORZATHON Challenge was part of the Series 19 Horizon Winter Season (February 27, 2020 14:30:00 GMT → March 5, 2020 14:29:59 GMT) and may appear in Series Playlists after Series 37 as part of the Horizon Mixtape. Completing it awarded 100 #FORZATHON Points (200 if the Lake Lodge house is owned) and added 15% and 3.75% to the Horizon Winter Season and Series Festival Playlist completion percentages, respectively. Note that the chapters below must be completed in the order they were listed in order for the Weekly Challenge to be counted as completed.

{{tabcontainer|title1=Chapter 1: A PIG IN THE POKE|content1={{Quote|'''Own''' and '''drive''' the '''2554 AMG Transport Dynamics M12S Warthog CST''', a mysterious vehicle from the future}}
* Buying and owning the M12S is easy; just buy the vehicle from the Autoshow for 850,000 CR, or failing that, the Auction House for a lower price. It can sometimes be won in the Horizon Wheelspin.
** 850,000 CR can easily be obtained by putting up an exclusive car like the Shelby 1000, Toyota GT86, or Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 ''Forza Edition'' in the Auction House and then having it successfully sell for more than 850,000 CR (if either the finishing bid or the buyout exceeds said amount, the latter assuming a player bought out the car and instantly won it).
** Another way is to open a lot of Wheelspins and Super Wheelspins. Having a lot of unused Wheelspins and Super Wheelspins and then opening them will result in large earnings in CR, including CR earned from selling duplicate cars won in the Wheelspin, and potentially even the M12S itself.
** If the player doesn't want to open Horizon Wheelspins or use the Auction House, they can simply spend time completing long races to obtain the required CR.
* The above steps can be skipped if you have already obtained and owned the M12S.
* Upon having the M12S, simply get in it and exit out to the in-game world.
* Sometimes, there is a glitch where getting in the M12S does not register this chapter as completed. To fix this, just buy another M12S from the Autoshow, get in it, and exit out to the in-game world.|title2=Chapter 2: HOG WILD|content2={{Quote|This thing seems very rugged! Test out its durability by '''earning 5 Wrecking Ball Skill Combos''' in the '''M12S Warthog CST'''}}
* The Wrecking Ball Skill Combo is obtained by destroying multiple small objects in a short period of time, subsequently also earning a few Wreckage Skills in the process. While this can be done anywhere on the map, a recommended area to easily do this in is the Greendale Aerodrome, which has more than 100 destructible small objects, ranging from curved fences to orange roadblock fences (these also award Road Open skills if destroyed) and railings.
* Be careful of cur
