Crytek is bringing a new wave of Twitch Drops to Hunt: Showdown this year with the Halloween-themed 1896 event. Fan favorites from past Twitch Drops, such as Lulu, Umpire’s Bane, and Billy Story, are also returning.
Players can obtain skins, items, equipment, Charms, and even a Hunter by doing simple tasks! Even unique items like the Malady Poison Bomb can be obtained.
1. How to unlock the Malady Poison Bomb in Hunt: Showdown?
To earn the Malady Poison Bomb, players must tune into any participating Hunt: Showdown Twitch stream and watch for 240 minutes.
Once you’ve met the time requirement, the item will automatically be added to your game account. For this to happen, players must ensure their Twitch and Hunt: Showdown accounts are linked, or the rewards cannot be obtained.
2. Other Drops During the Event
If the Malady is already in your inventory, one of the following alternate skins will be awarded at random:
- Skin Ripper (Frag Bomb)
- Brooke’s Burner (Fire Bomb)
- The Overcall (Dynamite Stick)
- Loki’s Gift (Waxed Dynamite Stick)
- Hoot and Holler (Big Dynamite Bundle)
You could earn the rare Union Suit Hunter in two variations: Red Drawers or Sunday Best. If you own these Hunters, you’ll get Hunt Dollars instead.
And if you happen to own all of the above skins, you’ll receive 5,000 Hunt Dollars as a bonus to spend on in-game loadouts.
3. Tips for Maximizing Twitch Drops
3.1 Stay Logged In
Keep your Twitch account logged as you watch the stream and ensure it’s connected to your Hunt: Showdown account.
3.2 Watch While Taking Breaks
It is unlikely that players can watch Twitch streams for 240 minutes straight. Fortunately, there is a constant timer running that pauses when you do and starts back up when you watch again.
You can even watch different streamers if you feel like it. Twitch will track your progress.
3.3 Double-Check Your Rewards
Once the required watch time is met, confirm your reward in Twitch’s “Drops Inventory.” If the rewards have not been given to you, check if your twitch and showdown accounts are linked and then raise a ticket on the official website.
4. About Hunt: Showdown
Hunt: Showdown is a first-person shooter video game by Crytek. It was launched on Steam in early access on 22 February 2018 and for Xbox Game Preview on 29 May 2019.
Savage, nightmarish monsters roam the Louisiana swamps, and you are part of a group of rugged bounty hunters bound to rid the world of their ghastly presence. Banish these creatures from our world, and you will be paid generously—and given the chance to buy more gruesome and powerful weapons. Fail, and death will strip you of both character and gear.
