This weekend during the Six Invitational, we will be testing a new way to distribute exclusive in-game rewards via Twitch Drops for the first time. If you watch the Six Invitational Main Event on twitch.tv/rainbow6 every day starting February 16th at 10AM, you will be rewarded with an in-game charm. The longer you watch the stream, the higher-ranking in-game charms you will receive.
All you have to do to get the in-game charms is link your Twitch and Ubisoft accounts and then watch the stream this weekend. You can link your accounts here.
How to earn the charms
There are two ways to earn the charms: 1) be in the channel at the 45th minute of the stream each day, 2) watch a total of 4, 8, or 12 hours.
If you are in the Rainbow6 Twitch channel watching the stream with your Ubisoft linked Twitch account during the 45th minute of the stream on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you will receive the Copper, Bronze, or Silver charms respectively. In order to earn the Gold, Platinum, or Diamond Charms you must watch total of 4, 8, or 12 hours respectively between February 16th at 10AM EST to February 18th at 8PM EST.
“We are always finding new ways to reward our community for engaging with our game,” says Justin Kruger, Community Developer. “Twitch Drops is an exciting step forward to providing our community with value for supporting Rainbow Six Siege.”
These gifts will be added directly to your Rainbow Six Siege account, but please expect a delay in delivery. As we are doing this for the first time, the charms may take a few hours or even a few days to process.
Have a quick look at our brief FAQ below, get those accounts linked, and we will see you on Twitch for the Six Invitational, live from Montreal!
