FNCS Twitch Drops
This season we’ve run into technical issues with Twitch Drops, and we won’t be able to provide Drops out of the gate. Our intent is to bring Twitch Drops back into our broadcast later this season. We’ll provide an update when we can start rolling out Twitch Drops again.
EDIT: April 29th
Twitch Drops are back on the menu! Watch any supported FNCS broadcast starting this weekend to start earning Twitch Drops. Each week you’ll have the chance to earn a different in-game cosmetic ranging from a Spray, Emoticon, Foam Finger Back Bling and Loading Screen. To ensure you’re eligible for drops, link your Epic account and Twitch account within 14 days of claiming your Drop reward to be processed.
We hope you’ll join us in watching this season’s FNCS competition, and as always, we’ll see you, on the Battle Bus!
