Animal Crossing: New Horizons has several hidden secrets that players might be unaware of

1) Rocks are not indestructible in New Horizons

While rocks can prove to be very useful for any ACNH player due to the number of resources they provide, sometimes players may have to get rid of a rock for several reasons. One of the main reasons could be the fact that they do not like the placement of the rock. In such situations, players can destroy the rock using a simple trick.

If players are charged up from having eaten fruit, they can strike the rock with an ax or a shovel and break it. A new rock will appear in a few days, so players do not have to worry about their resources as well.

This is a very useful fact that players can keep in mind while playing the game to avoid losing out on resources.

3) Villagers present on an ACNH island affect villagers visiting campsite

New Horizons offers eight different personality types among villagers in the series. Players can host up to 10 villagers who can reside on their island, so it is always advisable to have at least one of each personality type.

However, if a player does not have any villagers of a certain personality type residing on their island, they will see quite a few visitors of that personality type on their island campsite.
