ARC Raiders Twitch Drops keep you logging in, with 2026 events handing out rare cosmetics, emotes, charms and boosts just for watching linked streams, perfect for flexing your Speranza-ready loadout.

Still logging into Speranza in 2026 and trying to stand out in the crowd. You probably already know that style matters almost as much as aim, and that most players are quietly stacking cosmetics whenever they can. Linking your Embark account to Twitch is now just part of that routine, the same way some people hop over to U4GM when they want to sort out game currency or items fast. The current Twitch Drops setup for ARC Raiders is honestly low effort, high reward, and if your account is not linked yet, you are just throwing away free skins that could make your Raider look like they have been grinding since day one.

Cold Snap Festival Drops

Right now the spotlight is still on the late stretch of the Cold Snap Festival, which runs until 13 January 2026, and the timing is pretty generous. You only need to watch a participating Twitch stream for around one hour to pick up the Vintage Mic Backpack Charm, which gives your kit a nice retro radio vibe without you having to win some sweaty high tier match. Stick around for a second hour, and that two hour mark drops the I-Band Face Style into your account, perfect if you are bored of your default look and want something that pops a bit more on loading screens and in those squad lineups before a Night Raid.

Season 2 Weekly Trial Rewards

Season 2 keeps things busy as it runs through February, and the weekly reset on Mondays is where you start to see the more interesting cosmetics. Between 5 January and 26 January, the trials lean hard into community events, so you get stuff like Snowball fights and hunting down Snitches acting as the main themes. If you tune into channels with drops enabled during those specific weeks and keep them open for roughly 90 minutes, you can earn things like the Three Stars Emote or the Trial Winner Charm while you watch someone else sweat through a three star clear. A lot of players keep Dexerto or the official ARC social channels bookmarked so they can quickly check which trials are live and which creators are running the best routes.

Tech Issues And Drop Checks

One thing that trips people up is claiming rewards on mobile, because the Twitch claim button on phones can be hit or miss when a big event is running. It is usually safer to open Twitch on a PC or laptop, hit the claim button there, then restart ARC Raiders once before you assume the drop is missing. If a cosmetic does not show up straight away, do not freak out, as a quick relog or a short wait often fixes the sync. Also, always make sure the stream you are watching actually has the Drops Enabled label, because fake or mirrored streams are still around and you do not want to realise after two hours that your watch time never counted.

Getting Ready For Bigger Raids

All this might feel like busywork now, but it is laying the groundwork for later in the year, especially with the rumours about 12 player raids landing in Q4 and the roadmap teasing more Elite level skins. Getting into the habit of linking accounts, checking tags, and farming drops while you work or study in the background means you will walk into those bigger raids already kitted out instead of scrambling for basic cosmetics. And if you are the type who wants their Raider to look like they live in the high end queue, stacking drops and maybe even looking at services like ARC Raiders Boosting can help you keep that veteran image without having to no-life every event.
