How to Get the Viewership Rewards — Step by Step

This is simpler than it sounds. You just need to link two accounts and then watch. Simply watch the tournament live on Twitch and complete the watch time milestone each day to acquire the rewards.

Here’s exactly how to set it up:

To get the viewership rewards, you must link your Activision account with your Twitch account and then watch the tournament live. Open the Activision website, log in to your active account, navigate to Profile, select Account Linking, and under Social Networks find the option to link your Twitch account. You’ll be redirected to a new page where you provide your Twitch credentials, and once done, your accounts will be linked.

Once linked, head to twitch.tv/CallofDuty_Esports and start watching — drops begin accumulating automatically.

Tracking and Claiming Your Drops

You can track your reward progress through the ‘Drops & Rewards’ tab, or the notification tab at the top of the Twitch chat. Once a reward milestone is hit, claim it immediately — don’t let progress stack unclaimed or you may miss the next tier. Detonated

Twitch will notify you when a reward becomes available, and you’ll see it in your Drops & Rewards Inventory. After claiming it, the item will automatically appear in your Call of Duty inventory, provided your Twitch and Activision accounts are linked beforehand. Dot Esports
