How to earn Twitch drops for Escape from Tarkov

Christmas isn’t over yet for Escape from Tarkov fans.

Here’s how you can claim your Twitch drops for Tarkov.

Only players with a copy of the game get earn Twitch drops. But those itching to try out the tactical first-person shooter can buy it here for 25 percent off.

Link Twitch account with Tarkov profile

As with all Twitch drops, players need to link their game account to the Amazon-owned platform. To do that, fans can visit the Tarkov website.

Watch streamers who have Twitch drops available

A select number of Twitch streamers are participating in the campaign. All players need to do is tune in long enough and they’re guaranteed at least one in-game drop. Fans can watch multiple streams simultaneously, but the watch time will only count if the channels are partaking in the event.
