F.A.Q.s
What are Twitch Drops?
Twitch Drops let you earn in‑game rewards by watching Hunt: Showdown 1896 streams on Twitch. As long as you’re watching a streamer with Drops enabled and your account is linked, your viewing time will count toward unlocking rewards.
When is the campaign running?
The Drops campaign will run from December 12th, 2025 at 15:00 UTC until December 24th, 2025 at 15:00 UTC.
What rewards can I earn?
This Drops campaign introduces two brand‑new Support-a-Streamer rewards. While a channel is live streaming Hunt Showdown: 1896, subscribe or gift one (1) subscription to earn the Hunt Showdown: 1896 Twitch Chat Badge. Subscribe or gift a cumulative of two (2) subscriptions to earn both the Hunt Showdown: 1896 Twitch Chat Badge and Head Taker (Legendary Hunter).

Note that you can subscribe or gift subscriptions to the same channel for multiple months or split it across multiple channels.

In addition to the above, the campaign also features other brand-new rewards: Random Avatars, Sleigh Ride (Legendary Ranger 73 Variant Skins), and Death’s Caroler (Legendary Krag Variant Skins).

Supply Crates

As with previous Drops campaigns, we are bringing back the Supply Crates. These will grant you several in‑game item instances, such as Weapons, Tools, Consumables, and a random amount of Hunt Dollars.
  • Watch any participating Hunt: Showdown 1896 streamer to gain Supply Crates.

Each Supply Crate will contain these 8 item instances:
    1. 1 x Random Rifle
    2. 1 x Random Pistol
    3. 1 x Random Shotgun
    4. 1 x Random Special Weapon
    5. 3 x Random Tool or Consumable
    6. 1 x Random amount of Hunt Dollars
Note: Please note, you will not receive any physical crate in‑game for these Drops rewards. Once a Supply Crate has been claimed through Twitch, all its contents will be rewarded as individual pop‑ups in the game (as with any other reward). The Supply Crates are visually represented on the Drops page on Twitch to symbolize being granted a stash of items in‑game and are for display purposes only.
How do I link my Hunt and Twitch accounts?
  1. Go to huntshowdown.com/twitchdrops and click “Link Account.”
  2. Choose your platform (Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation).
  3. Log into your Hunt: Showdown 1896 account.
  4. Authorize the connection with your Twitch account.
  5. Check your link status on the same page anytime.
Do I need to be logged into Hunt while watching?
No. You only need to be logged into Twitch and watch a Hunt: Showdown 1896 channel with Drops enabled. When you hit a milestone, claim the reward in your Twitch inventory to unlock the next one.
I claimed but don’t see my reward in-game
  1. Confirm you clicked “Claim” in your Twitch inventory.
  2. Verify your Twitch and Hunt accounts are linked correctly.
  3. Restart the game.
  4. If the item is still missing, contact Crytek support.
What can I do if linking my Twitch account fails?
The most common cause of a failed account connection is that one or more of your accounts may already be linked. You can check the current connections by logging into your Twitch account, selecting “Settings” and then the “Connections” tab. This will display a list of the accounts that are connected and allow you to add or remove connections as you wish.

If you encounter further issues with account linking, please contact customer support.

Note: Our customer support team cannot add, remove, or otherwise alter any link between your Twitch account and any other service. They will be happy to provide support and guidance on how to correctly link your account, but they cannot make direct changes to the linked accounts.
I linked my account last year; do I need to re-link my account?
Your account link should carry over from the last Twitch Drops Campaign; however, we highly recommend checking your connection status through the Twitch Drops Campaign page and on www.huntshowdown.com/twitchdrops.

Make sure to double check both pages to make sure you do not miss any of the rewards.
Which streamers can I watch during the campaign?
All Twitch streamers are eligible to participate in this Twitch Drops campaign. Streamers must ensure they have enabled Drops on their account and are actively streaming in the Hunt: Showdown 1896 category. You can check out the Hunt Twitch directory to find participating streams.

We also encourage you to check out our Hunt Partners here: https://www.huntshowdown.com/partners.
I claimed the Drops reward through Twitch, but it’s not appearing in-game. Why?
First, you will need to make sure you have claimed the item through the Drops reward page:
https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory.

Next, make sure you have linked your account through our Drops page here:
https://www.huntshowdown.com/twitchdrops.

Please note, it can take some time for the items to process and appear in‑game. If you continue to experience issues after this time, please refer to our help article here:
