Arknights Endfield Twitch Drops: Link & Claim Guide

This guide walks you through linking your Arknights Endfield account to Twitch and claiming the Twitch Drops rewards. You’ll need a Twitch account and an account for the game (either a Hypergryph account or a platform account, depending on where you play). By the end, you’ll know exactly how to connect everything and grab your drops before they expire.

What You’ll Need

• A Twitch account (free to create if you don’t have one).
• An Arknights Endfield account. This can be a Hypergryph account, or a platform account (like an Apple, Google, or other linked account) that you use to log into the game.
• Access to the official Arknights Endfield website (endfield.hypergryph.com) and the Twitch website or app.
• Make sure your Twitch account is in good standing (not suspended) and that you have enabled third-party cookies in your browser, as the linking process sometimes requires them.

Step-by-Step

1. Log into the official Arknights Endfield website. Go to endfield.hypergryph.com and click the “Login” button in the top right corner. Use the same method you use to log into the game (Hypergryph account, Apple, Google, etc.).
2. Navigate to the account settings. Once logged in, click on your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner. From the dropdown menu, select “Account Settings” or “User Center.”
3. Find the “Linked Accounts” or “Account Linking” section. Look for a tab or button labeled “Account Linking,” “Linked Accounts,” or “Third-Party Accounts.” It’s usually in the left sidebar or under a “Security” or “Connections” submenu.
4. Click “Link” next to the Twitch icon. You’ll see a list of services you can link (like Twitch, YouTube, etc.). Find the Twitch row and click the “Link” or “Connect” button next to it.
5. Authorize the connection on Twitch. A new window or pop-up will open, asking you to log into Twitch (if you aren’t already) and then asking for permission to link your accounts. Click “Authorize” or “Allow” to grant the connection.
6. Confirm the link on the Arknights Endfield site. After authorizing, you’ll be redirected back to the Arknights Endfield website. You should see a confirmation message, and the Twitch icon should now show as “Linked” or “Connected.”
7. Go to Twitch and find a participating Arknights Endfield stream. During the drop campaign period, go to the Arknights Endfield category on Twitch. Look for streams that have the “Drops Enabled” tag or a banner indicating they’re part of the drop campaign.
8. Watch the stream. Make sure you are logged into Twitch and that the stream is playing. Your progress toward the drop will be tracked automatically. You can check your progress by clicking on your profile icon in the top right corner of Twitch and selecting “Drops & Rewards.”
9. Claim your drop. Once you’ve watched for the required amount of time (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours per drop), you’ll see a notification in the “Drops & Rewards” inventory. Click “Claim” on the drop reward.
10. Check in-game. After claiming, the reward should be sent to your in-game mailbox or inventory. You may need to restart the game or wait a few minutes for it to appear. If it doesn’t show up, log out and back in.

Common Mistakes

• Linking the wrong account. If you play on multiple devices or have multiple Hypergryph accounts, make sure you’re logged into the correct one on the website before linking. Linking the wrong account means the drops go to the wrong place.
• Not claiming the drop on Twitch. Watching the stream is not enough. You must manually click “Claim” on the drop in your Twitch inventory. If you don’t claim it before the campaign ends, you lose it.
• Watching a non-participating stream. Not every stream in the category is part of the drop campaign. Look for the “Drops Enabled” tag or a specific “Drops” badge on the stream. Watching a stream without the tag won’t count.
• Using ad blockers or muting the stream. Some ad blockers can interfere with the drop tracking. Also, while muting the stream is usually okay, some campaigns require the stream to be unmuted. Keep the stream visible and not minimized in a background tab if possible.
• Clearing cookies or using incognito mode. If you clear your browser cookies during the stream, Twitch may lose track of your progress. Also, incognito mode can sometimes prevent the link from being recognized.

Tips

• Start early. Drop campaigns have a limited window. Start watching as soon as the campaign begins to ensure you have enough time to earn all drops.
• Check the drop schedule. The official Arknights Endfield social media and the Twitch Drops page will list the exact dates, times, and required watch hours for each drop. Plan accordingly.
• Keep the stream in a tab. You can mute the tab and do other things, but keep the stream tab active and not in a suspended state (like on a mobile device with the screen off).
• Use the Twitch mobile app. If you’re on the go, the Twitch mobile app also supports drops. Just make sure you’re logged into the same Twitch account.
• Double-check your link before the campaign. Link your accounts a day or two before the campaign starts. This gives you time to resolve any issues without missing out on watch time.

Troubleshooting

• Drop progress not updating. If your progress bar on Twitch isn’t moving, try refreshing the page, logging out and back into Twitch, or switching to a different browser. Also, ensure the stream is actually playing and not paused.
• Link failed or not working. If you get an error when trying to link, try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then try again. You can also try a different browser or a private/incognito window (but remember to disable the incognito block on cookies). If it still fails, wait a few hours and try again.
• Claimed drop not in game. First, make sure you actually claimed it on Twitch. Then, log out of the game completely and log back in. If it’s still not there, check the in-game mailbox (it might be under a “System” or “Event” tab). If it’s been more than 24 hours, contact Hypergryph support.
• Twitch says “No Drops Available” on a stream. This usually means the campaign hasn’t started yet, has ended, or the streamer hasn’t enabled drops. Try a different streamer in the category.
• Account already linked to a different Twitch. If you get a message that your Hypergryph account is already linked to another Twitch account, you’ll need to unlink it first. Log into the Arknights Endfield website, go to Account Settings, and click “Unlink” next to Twitch. Then link the correct Twitch account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long do I need to watch to get a drop?
A: It varies by campaign, but typically each drop requires between 30 minutes and 2 hours of cumulative watch time. Check the official drop schedule for exact times.

Q: Can I get drops by watching on my phone?
A: Yes, as long as you’re logged into the same Twitch account and the stream is playing (not in the background with the screen off). The Twitch mobile app supports drops.

Q: Do I need to watch the same streamer the whole time?
A: No, your watch time accumulates across any participating streams in the Arknights Endfield category. You can switch between streamers and your progress will continue.

Q: Can I claim drops after the campaign ends?
A: No, you must claim each drop on Twitch before the campaign’s end date. Unclaimed drops are lost.

Q: What if I already linked my account before – do I need to do it again?
A: No, if you’ve linked before, your accounts stay linked. Just make sure you’re logged into the correct Twitch account and watch a participating stream.

Q: I play on console – can I still get drops?
A: Yes, as long as you have a Hypergryph account linked to your console account. You’ll need to log into the website with that same Hypergryph account to link Twitch.
