FNCS Twitch Drops
Show your support for the Season 3 FNCS and be rewarded with in-game cosmetics! These include the Seeker's Strike Loading Screen, King and Champion Spray, Peaceful Emoji, and the Champion's Honor Backbling.
How?
The easiest way to earn Drops is by watching at Legends Landing or logging into watch.fortnite.com with your Epic account.
If you prefer to stick to Twitch:
Firstly, make sure that your Twitch and Epic Games accounts are linked. Then, during FNCS, look for any Twitch channel streaming Fortnite with the “Drops Enabled” tag.
After a while of watching, you’ll get a Twitch notification letting you know that your eligible for a Drop. Click on the notification and it will take you to your inventory where you can claim your reward. It will automatically appear in your Fortnite locker shortly after.
Rewards unlock gradually throughout the FNCS, so you’ll need to come back for the Qualifiers, Semi-Finals, and Finals to get everything.
Personally, I’ve got my eyes on that Backbling! Stay tuned for more updates throughout the Chapter 3 Season 3 FNCS and good luck if you’re competing.
