Overwatch 2 Twitch dropsare a decent way of getting fun in-game stuff without having to shell out your hard-earned cash. Though not quite free—since you’ll be paying for them with your time—they are convenient for those who’d be watching streams anyway, or who are open to starting. That said, you could also just open a stream in a separate tab and mute it if you just want the stuff.
If you’re unfamiliar with Twitch drops, they are rewards you get for watching Twitch streams of a particular game, in this case, Overwatch 2. If you watch enough, you can even unlock a Legendary skin for the new character, Kiriko, as well as some other in-game cosmetics and a special voiceline. In this Overwatch 2 Twitch drops guide, I’ll explain how to activate Twitch Drops, when you’ll need to watch, and how to claim them once you’re done.
How to set up Overwatch 2 Twitch drops
In order to be eligible for Overwatch 2 Twitch drops, you need to link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts. Even if you’ve done it before,you’re going to have to re-link them for it to workwith the new game. Here’s how to do it:
Now your accounts are linked and you can start getting your Twitch drops.
How to get the Legendary Kiriko Sukajan skin
The first two Twitch drops on offer are the Legendary Kiriko Sukajan skin and her extra “I take care of my friends!” voiceline. In order to get both of theseyou’re going to have to watch any Twitch stream in the Overwatch 2 category for six hoursbetweenOctober 7at 2pm PDT (10pm BST, 5pm ET) andOctober 16at 11:59pm PDT (7:59am BST, 2:59am ET). After you watch for two hours you’ll unlock the voiceline to claim on Twitch, but then you’ll need to watch a further four hours to get the Sukajan skin.
The second set of Twitch drops include the Razor Sharp Kiriko spray, and the Donut weapon charm. For the firstyou’ll have to watch any Overwatch 2 stream for two hoursbetweenOctober 17at 11am PDT (7pm BST, 2pm ET) andOctober 24at 12am PDT (8am BST, 3am ET). If you want that Donut Weapon Charm as well, you’ll need to watch for a further three hours, for five total.
It’s worth noting thatyou don’t need to watch the same channel the entire time to earn your drop, so you can progress towards it by watching multiple streams a bit at a time if you choose.
