- In Season 1, gain seven XDefiant rewards between July 2 to July 30.

Ubisoft’s arena shooter promises tight firefights and they’re bringing some sweet rewards along with their Preseason content. You’ll be able to earn Twitch drops for Season 1, letting you grab some neat weapon skins. They’ll ensure that you stand out from your friends and foes in-game. Here’s how you can earn and redeem them.
How to get Twitch drops in Season 1
Season 1’s Twitch Drops start at 10 AM PDT on July 2 and will be available till 11:59 PM PDT on July 29, 2024. Unlike the Preseason, there’s a Twitch Quest this time. To get these drops, here’s what you need to do:
- You need to link your Ubisoft account with your Twitch account here.
- Watch XDefiant gameplay from any streamer’s Twitch channel from July 2, 2024, for rewards. These are handed out when you watch 1 hour, 3 hours, or 5 hours of a stream. There’s one set of rewards for all XDefiant streams and another set for select partner streamers. Watching a stream for 5 hours will grant you the rewards of the previous tiers. Here’s a list of Ubisoft’s partner streamers. Some supported streamers are SpaceLy and BersGamer.
- You can then find these exclusive weapon skins and XP boosts in your Drops and Rewards section. Head to your Twitch inventory and pick ‘Claim Now’ to add them to your game.
- Now get into the game and equip these skins on your weapons in-game before a match.
In April 2023, players could access Closed Beta Access Twitch drops like the Violet D50 and MK 20 SSR skins. Ubisoft also offered Violet skins for the M870 and M249 during its Open Session in June 2023. The Preseason drops offered Morganite and Pelagic weapon skins in addition to weapon XP boosters.
All Twitch drop rewards in Season 1
Season 1 brings new Twitch drops to the table. Unlike the Preseason, there’s only one set of drops instead of weekly rewards. Here are all the rewards you can look forward to:
| Season 1 Challenge | Reward |
|---|---|
| Watch 1 hour of any XDefiant stream | Battle Pass XP Booster for 1 hour |
| Watch 3 hours of any XDefiant stream | Avalanche SVD Skin |
| Watch 5 hours of any XDefiant stream | Shamrock M870 Skin |
| Watch 1 hour of an XDefiant partner stream | Extraction RPK-74 Skin |
| Watch 3 hours of an XDefiant partner stream | Extraction Kaptan Skin |
| Watch 5 hours of an XDefiant partner stream | Extraction Stark Skin |
| Purchase 2 Tier 1 subs for an XDefiant partner | Viral Character Skin |
Expired Twitch drops

Are the rewards worth it?
Yes, these Twitch drops are worth the effort. Watching supported streams for 5 hours will let you unlock a total of five weapon skins and one battle pass XP booster. While that can take a while, you’ve got a whole month to earn them. Pair that with unique in-game rewards via redeem codes and you’ll get a headstart against your friends when it comes to showing off the best gear. Taking a look at professional live streams will also help you understand the game’s combat.
What if your Twitch drops aren’t working?
Some players on Reddit weren’t able to earn rewards in-game via Twitch drops. One potential fix is to disconnect your Twitch account from your Ubisoft account before reconnecting them together. This resolved the problem for some users as the items appeared in their inventory after some time.
