Hunt: Showdown - Twitch Drops

F.A.Q.s

What are Twitch Drops?

Twitch Drops are rewards you can earn by watching Hunt: Showdown streams on Twitch. Watch any Hunt: Showdown streamer during the 5th Anniversary Twitch drops Campaign (between 23rd February – 2nd March 2023) to earn free in-game rewards.

When is the campaign running?

The campaign will begin at 3pm UTC on the 23rd February 2023 and will end at 3pm UTC on the 2nd March 2023.

What rewards can I earn in Hunt Twitch Drops?

During the Twitch Drop Campaign, you can earn a variety of different legendary items, including a brand-new Legendary Hunter— “Kill Buyer.”

You can earn the rewards by watching Hunt: Showdown Streams between 23rd February and 2nd March 2023. One item in this Drops Campaign will be a “Night of the Hunter” Partner exclusive drop, meaning you must watch a member of our partner program to earn this reward. All other rewards can be earned by watching ANY Hunt: Showdown streamer.

For the 5th Anniversary, we will also have another smaller campaign running alongside the main one. In this campaign, players can earn “Anniversary Supply Crates” containing instances of non-Legendary in-game weapons, tools/consumables, and some Hunt Dollars to help keep your arsenals replenished during the anniversary drops week.

Full details can be found below:

Anniversary Supply Crates:
For our 5th Anniversary, we are introducing “Anniversary Supply Crates” as a new reward that can be earned while watching participating Hunt: Showdown streamers. These crates will grant you several non-Legendary in-game items such as weapons, tools/consumables, and an amount of Hunt Dollars.

Unlock requirements:

There will be a total of 4x “Anniversary Supply Crates” per day for the duration of the Drops Campaign.
Each Crate is available to claim after 2 hours (120 mins) of watch time.
Each Crate will contain 8x instances of non-Legendary items
1. 1 x Random Pistol
2. 1 x Random Shotgun
3. 1 x Random Rifle
4. 1 x Random Special Weapon
5. 3 x Random Tool or Consumable
6. 1 x Random amount of Hunt Dollars

Important: Please note, you will not receive any physical “Crate” in-game for these drop rewards. Once a “Crate” has been claimed through Twitch, all the above items will unlock as individual pop-ups in the game (as with any other unlock.) “Anniversary Supply Crate” is just a name and visual given to symbolize being granted a stash of items and is only displayed this way on the drops page on Twitch.

What is the process to link my game account and Twitch account?

Click the button Link Account on the Twitch Drops Hunt: Showdown page.
Select which platform you want to link: Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox.
Log in to your game account to verify that you are the owner.
Authorize your Twitch account to allow Hunt: Showdown permission to access some information related to your Twitch account. Please confirm you are using the correct Twitch account before proceeding.
Once authorized, you will be redirected to the Hunt: Showdown Twitch drops page where you can confirm the account is connected.

Do I always need to be logged in to the game?

No, you do not need to have the game open while watching. However, to earn the rewards, you must be using the correct Twitch account when watching Hunt: Showdown Streamers. If you are not logged in, you will not accumulate time towards the drops progress, and you will not receive rewards. You do not need to have the game open while watching. You can check the progress you are making at the Twitch Drops Inventory page. Once a reward has been claimed through the Drops Page on Twitch, the unlock pop-up will appear in-game upon next login.

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 Twitch connections by logging into your Twitch account, select "Settings" and then the "Connections" tab. This will display a list of the accounts that are connected and will 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 is unable to add, remove or otherwise alter any link between your Twitch account and any other service. The team will be happy to provide support and guidance on how to correctly link your account, but please be aware they cannot make any 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 event, 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 can participate in most of this Twitch Drops Campaign if they have enabled them on their account and are actively streaming Hunt: Showdown. You can check out the Hunt Twitch directory to find participating streams.

However, the Weapon Charm "Hera’s Gift" will be an exclusive drop earned by watching members of the Night of the Hunter Partner Program.

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, you will need to make sure you have also linked your account through our Drops page here: 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: https://intercom.help/crytek/en/articles/5796888-twitch-drops-faq.
