Players can earn in-game content for Halo Infinite by participating in Halo events on Twitch.tv. These rewards are called Twitch Drops and are only available for a limited time. The rewards and their unlock requirements can vary between events, so make sure to check the details of any event.
To earn Twitch Drops, you need to have a Twitch account and be signed into Twitch while you are earning the reward. See Create an Account with Twitch for more information.
Once you have earned a Twitch Drop it will be visible in your Twitch Drops Inventory. You need to link your Twitch account through Halo Waypoint before you can claim your rewards.
Important Notes on Twitch Drop Troubleshooting
- For help with your Twitch account please contact Twitch support.
- Halo Support cannot grant Twitch Drop rewards or assist with linking accounts.
- If you recently changed your password on Twitch.tv, your Twitch account may have been unlinked from Halo Waypoint. Follow the instructions included in Step 1 below to relink your accounts.
- If you've completed the Drop's requirements on Twitch and your accounts are correctly linked on Halo Waypoint, submit a ticket using the link at the bottom of this article so that Halo Support can flag the issue to our developers. Your tickets help us investigate the issue you experienced as well as improve future Twitch Drops.
