Tarkovians!

The now traditional New Year's Twitch Drops Event will take place this year from December 22 3PM GMT / 10AM EST to January 4 3PM GMT / 10AM EST.

We have listened to your requests and now Twitch Drops are available in both PVP and PvE Zone.

Drops will be activated on the channels of ALL Twitch streamers without exception who will be broadcasting in the Escape from Tarkov category.

Drops – in-game items

During the campaign, at certain intervals, you will be guaranteed to receive an unlockable container, which are categorized by the rarity of the contents – Common, Rare and Epic.

Enjoy watching your favourite streamers and receiving gifts for participating in New Year's events. Good luck in Tarkov, you'll need it!

Here's a reminder of the basic rules so you don't miss out on your reward:

  • Drops can be earned by users who have an active copy of the game. If you don't have your own copy yet, you can purchase it here;

  • To receive or enable Drops, both the viewer and the streamer need to attach their Twitch account to their game profile on the project's website. You can do this here;

  • You can watch one or more broadcasts, but viewing time for rewards will only count if those broadcasts are participating in the event;

  • Create a profile on twitch.tv if you don't have one.
