What to know
- Twitch Drops are live now for ARC Raiders Flashpoint
- Two rewards are available based on watch time
- You must link your Twitch and Embark accounts
- Drops require manual claiming from Twitch inventory
The new Twitch Drops campaign tied to the Flashpoint update in ARC Raiders is officially live, and you can earn free cosmetic rewards just by watching streams. The process is simple, but missing a step can prevent rewards from showing up.
What Twitch Drops are available in Flashpoint Update
The current Flashpoint Twitch Drops campaign offers two cosmetic rewards tied to how long you watch eligible streams.
You unlock the Binoculars Backpack Charm after watching for 1 hour. If you continue watching and reach 2 hours total, you also receive the Space Blaster Backpack Charm.
These rewards are purely cosmetic and will appear in your in-game inventory once claimed. The campaign is time-limited and expected to run through late April 2026, so you have a short window to earn both items.
How to claim ARC Raiders Twitch Drops
You start by linking your accounts. Go to the ARC Raiders (Embark) account page and connect your Twitch account. Without this, your watch time will not count.
After linking, open Twitch and watch any ARC Raiders stream that has “Drops enabled.” You don’t need to watch continuously—your progress carries across sessions.
Once you reach the required watch time, go to your Twitch Drops Inventory page. You must manually click Claim for each reward. If you skip this step, the items won’t be delivered.
After claiming, the rewards will be added to your in-game inventory. You can also track your progress toward each drop directly from the same inventory page while watching streams.
When can you claim Twitch Drops?
The Twitch Drops campaign follows the Flashpoint update rollout, which went live globally around 10:00 AM UTC on March 31, 2026.

The campaign is time-limited, currently running until 28 April 2026, 4:30 PM GMT, so you have a short window to collect everything.
This drop event arrives alongside the Flashpoint update, which adds new enemies, weapons, and map conditions—making it one of the more content-heavy updates so far.
