Hunt Showdown Twitch drops are being released to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the game, and there are some exclusive rewards on offer for those who put the time in to watching streams during this event. The highlight is a brand new Legendary Hunter named Kill Buyer, who had a dark backstory involving dismembering animals down at the Bayou, though there are several more items including three weapons and two weapon charms. You'll need to do some account linking before you can earn these rewards, so here's everything you need to know about claiming the Twitch drops for Hunt Showdown.
How to connect your account for Hunt Showdown Twitch drops
To be eligible to earn Hunt Showdown Twitch drops, you need to ensure your accounts are correctly connected. This is done through the following process:
- Go to the Twitch Drops page on the Hunt Showdown website and click the Link Account button.
- Choose to link your Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox account then log in – pick carefully as this is the platform you'll receive your reward on.
- On the next screen log in to Twitch then authorize Hunt Showdown to access certain information regarding your account.
- You'll then be back on the Hunt Showdown website, where you should see your Twitch account showing as connected.
Make sure you log in with the correct Twitch account that you'll be watching the streams on, otherwise the time you accumulate will not count towards unlocking the rewards below.
