Ubisoft has free drops for fans to earn by watching XDefiant livestreams on Twitch. Here’s a handy guide on how to claim XDefiant Twitch drops in the game.

Like most multiplayer games, Ubisoft has some free rewards in store for their latest entry into the FPS genre, XDefiant. The rewards include cosmetics for a couple of weapons and it is available for a limited time only.

All you need to do is watch some livestreams on Twitch for a certain time period. This can be the perfect opportunity for players to claim some free in-game items or for those who wish to flaunt exclusive skins from the open beta period.

With that said, here’s how you can claim XDefiant drops from Twitch.

All XDefiant drops

During the Open Session, there are a total of two confirmed Twitch drops that will be released for players to claim. Here are all the items you can get:

  • M249 “Violet” Weapon Skin: Watch a drop-enabled livestream for one hour.
