Embark Studios has launched Twitch Drops for its extraction shooter, Arc Raiders, allowing players to earn exclusive cosmetic items such as the Spinning Top and Canned Tomatoes backpack charms.
These in-game rewards are available through watching participating streams on Twitch and are part of the developer’s plans for the Riven Tides update. The initiative mirrors similar player engagement strategies used by other live-service titles.
The Twitch Drops campaign began on May 21, 2026, and is set to conclude on June 18, 2026. Players can acquire the Spinning Top Backpack Attachment after watching one hour of eligible streams, and the Canned Tomatoes Backpack Charm after a total of two hours. Watch times stack, meaning progress for the second item begins immediately after the first is earned.
To participate, players must link their Embark ID account to their Twitch account. Only streams with the “Drops Enabled” tag contribute to watch time. Once watch time requirements are met, rewards must be manually claimed from the Twitch Drops & Rewards inventory before the campaign ends.
The introduction of Arc Raiders Twitch Drops aligns with similar promotional strategies seen in other live-service games, including titles like Marvel Rivals, which has also utilized Twitch Drops for its events. The Riven Tides update, which these drops are tied to, features a new map on the western coast of the Rust Belt and new cosmetic sets.
Players interested in acquiring the charms should monitor official announcements from Embark Studios and check the Arc Raiders Twitch Drops page for the most current information regarding eligibility and progress.
