- Auto-collects every car you win
- Tiny always-on-top overlay with live stats

Grab the latest FH6-Sniper.zip from the Releases page and extract it anywhere on your PC.
Launch Forza Horizon 6 and head into the Auction House at the festival site.
Open Search Auctions and set your filters:
- Make and Model for the car you want
- Max Buyout as your safety net. The bot buys the first matching car without looking at the price, so this is the most you can spend per car. Set it carefully.
Back out so the screen sits on the Search config view. That's where the bot expects to start.
Double-click FH6-Sniper.exe. A small overlay appears in the top-left of your screen.
Click back into FH6, press F8 or Start, and leave it running.
To stop: F8 again, F9 for panic, or click STOP on the overlay.
Windows SmartScreen will warn you because the exe isn't signed. To run anyway:
- Click More info
- Click Run anyway
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| F8 | Start / stop |
| F9 | Panic stop |
| STOP button | Same as F8 |
| ✕ on overlay | Close and exit |
The bot is ready to go out of the box. If you want to tweak it, open config.json (created next to the exe on first run):
- max_cars - auto-stop after this many wins (default: 1)
- max_minutes - auto-stop after this many minutes (default: 180)
- collect_after_buyout - set to
falseif you'd rather collect cars manually - notify_sound / notify_toast - turn the win beep or toast off
- buyout_select_delay_ms - extra ms between selecting Buy Out and pressing Enter. Bump to
200if the bot occasionally opens the Place Bid dialog instead of Buy Out (default: 0) - moving_background - set to
falseif you have FH6's moving background video setting turned off (default: true)
Warning
- Auction House automation may violate Forza's Enforcement Guidelines.
- Results may vary depending on PC/Network setups.
- You risk a warning, suspension, or a permanent ban.
- Use at your own risk.
- The bot only runs while FH6 is the focused window. The overlay shows Paused if you tab out. Click back into the game to resume.
- The overlay is hidden from screen capture, so you can leave it anywhere on screen.
- Drag the overlay by clicking and holding the header.
- You won't win every snipe. The bot is limited by FH6's menu animations and the auction server response, same as any other tool.
- If servers are slow / overloaded it will cause the bot to break (Shall have a fix for it soon)
Overlay says "Paused" - FH6 isn't focused. Click into the game.
F8 doesn't do anything - another app on your PC might be hooking the F8 key. Close it, or change the hotkey in config.json.
Bot misses a screen and just sits there - restart FH6 and the bot. Make sure your graphics preset is Very Low and your resolution is 1920 x 1080.
The sniper opens the Buy Out dialog but won't click Yes.
Almost always a mismatch between FH6's Moving Background video setting and the sniper's. If you've turned moving backgrounds off in-game, open the Settings tab in the overlay and untick Moving background mode so the sniper loads the right templates for your setup.
The sniper says "Stopped: could not recover" right after Start.
Two common causes:
- Game language is not English. The sniper's templates only match the English UI. Switch FH6 to English under Settings > Language Select.
- Capturable overlay sitting over the menus. If you've enabled Show overlay in screenshots & recordings, the overlay can land on top of the area the sniper is reading. Drag it to the top-right or bottom-right corner so it doesn't overlap the game UI.
If neither helps, open an issue or message me on Discord. When posting issues relating to the bot - Please include your Sniper.log so that I can look into it.
