ARC Raiders has a fresh round of Twitch Drops live, and the current campaign is nice and simple: watch eligible ARC Raiders streams, claim your rewards, and add a couple of free items to your account. The latest ARC Raiders Twitch Drops rewards are Floppy Disk and Buoy, both tied to the new Riven Tides update. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the current ARC Raiders Twitch Drops rewards, required watch times, how to link your Twitch and Embark accounts to claim your drops, and more!
ARC Raiders Twitch Drops Dates, Watch Times, and Rewards
The current ARC Raiders Twitch Drops campaign lines up with Riven Tides, the latest major ARC Raiders update. The Riven Tides Twitch Drops campaign will run from April 28, 2026, through May 26, 2026, and applies to ARC Raiders Twitch streams with Drops enabled. Here’s what you can get for participating and watching applicable streams on Twitch:
| Required Watch Time | Reward | Reward Type |
|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | Floppy Disk | Backpack Charm |
| 2 hours | Buoy | Backpack Charm |
The good news is that this is not a massive time sink. Two hours of eligible ARC Raiders streams should be enough to unlock both rewards, assuming your Twitch account is connected properly and your viewing progress is tracking. Keep reading to find out how to do just that.
How to Claim ARC Raiders Twitch Drops
Claiming ARC Raiders Twitch Drops is easy, but it is also very easy to miss one step and wonder where your loot went. Watching the stream is only part of the job. You also need to connect the right accounts and manually claim the reward from Twitch. Don’t worry, just follow this simple step-by-step process:
- First, link your Twitch account to your Embark ID. This is important because your rewards will be delivered to the Embark ID account linked to that Twitch account. Just note that only one Twitch account can be linked to an Embark ID at a time.
- Next, watch eligible ARC Raiders streams with Drops enabled. Look for ARC Raiders streams in the correct Twitch category and check that the Drops progress is actually moving in your Twitch Drops Inventory.
- Once you hit the required watch time, head to your Twitch Drops Inventory and claim each reward individually. Do not skip this part. Twitch Drops often sit unlocked until you press the claim button, and unclaimed rewards will not appear in-game.
Troubleshooting: Why Your ARC Raiders Twitch Drops Are Not Showing Up
If your ARC Raiders Twitch Drops are not showing up, do not panic immediately. Twitch Drops are useful, but they can sometimes be fussy.
Start by checking your account link. Make sure your Twitch account is connected to the correct Embark ID, especially if you play across multiple platforms. Follow the above steps to make sure that everything is correctly connected. Rewards only go to the Embark ID account linked to your Twitch account, so, for example, using the wrong account can absolutely cause problems.
Then check your Twitch Drops Inventory. If the reward is unlocked but not claimed, remember that you have to claim it manually. After that, restart ARC Raiders and give the system a little time to deliver the item. If it still does not show up, recheck your linked accounts before assuming the campaign itself is broken.
