To celebrate the launch of version 1.0 of Escape From Tarkov, players can receive special freebies through a Twitch drop event. This limited-time event rewards viewers based on the hours they watch and if they subscribe to certain streamers during the promotion.
Only hours spent watching the participating streams will count toward earning rewards. Similar to most Twitch drop events, unique prizes are also available for those who subscribe to participating streamers during the event. Anyone can join in as long as they own a copy of the game, regardless of whether they have an active subscription.
### Eligibility Requirements for Twitch Drops
In addition to owning the game, you need an active Twitch account linked to your Tarkov profile. Your first steps include:
1. Create a Twitch account if you haven’t already.
2. Own a copy of Escape From Tarkov.
3. Link your Twitch account to your Tarkov profile on the Battlestate Games website, which also requires creating a Tarkov profile if you don’t have one.
Linking your account is straightforward. After logging into your Tarkov profile on the BSG site, click your username to access your profile. Find the ‘Linked Accounts’ section and click ‘Link’ next to Twitch. You will be directed to log into your Twitch account and authorize the link. If you have multiple Twitch accounts, make sure to connect the correct one.
Once linked, a notification will confirm the connection. Your Twitch username will appear under the link options, and you’re all set for the event.
### Event Duration
The Twitch drop event for Escape From Tarkov’s 1.0 release runs from November 15th, 2025, to November 28th, 2025. However, the feature allowing rewards for subscribing to streamers is postponed, and that part is scheduled to run until December 6th, 2025. Watch for pinned messages on streams to see when subscription-based rewards resume, as they are currently inactive.
### Available Drops and How to Unlock Them
There are both free and paid rewards available through this Twitch event. To claim free rewards, just watch any stream with drop support enabled. These streams are marked with a special tag. The more you watch, the more rewards you can earn, with the progress tracked under your Twitch account in the ‘Drops & Rewards’ section. You can check your progress at any time by clicking your profile icon in Twitch and selecting that option.
Rewards are based on your total watch time, with milestones at every hour from one to nine hours. Most rewards include rare containers and other items. Watching with sound on is necessary since muting a stream won’t count.
Paid rewards are earned by subscribing to participating streamers. Rewards for this include:
– 1 subscription: a custom hideout decoration set
– 3 subscriptions: a PMC dogtag for USEC and BEAR called ‘Twitch’
– 5 subscriptions: an Escape From Tarkov patch cap, a Miller Bros. Blades M-2 Tactical Sword (Brown), and a 3×2 Secure Container ‘Loui Peeton Belt Bag’.
Gifting subscriptions also count towards your total, but only if the gifted sub is to a streamer who is in the event. If you receive a gifted sub, it counts toward the person who paid for it, not you. Free methods like Amazon Prime subscriptions don’t count.
You can also renew subscriptions to make your total go higher, as long as the streamer is actively streaming Tarkov and in the event.
Rewards are limited to once per Twitch and game account, so you can’t earn the same reward multiple times on the same account. Also, all rewards are only available in PVP mode, so keep that in mind before investing in paid rewards.
