Cloud Imperium Games is celebrating the upcoming launch of Alpha 4.4 with Star Citizen's first-ever Twitch Drops event. From November 20, you can score a free armor set just for watching your favorite streamers explore the 'verse, giving you a fresh look as you prepare to delve into the Nyx system.
The event runs from November 20 through December 3, 2025, offering a limited window to claim the exclusive gear. This is a great way to get some free loot without spending any aUEC, especially for players just starting their journey.
How to Claim Your Free Gear
Getting your hands on this armor is straightforward. The main reward is the Geist 'Epoque' Armor Set, which includes both the suit and a matching backpack. To earn it, you need to watch a total of four hours on any Drops-enabled Star Citizen stream on Twitch during the event period.
The most important step is to link your accounts before you start watching. If you don't connect your RSI and Twitch accounts, your watch time won't count toward the reward. Here’s how to do it:
- Log in to your RSI account on the official Roberts Space Industries website.
- Go to your Account Dashboard and navigate to the 'Settings' tab.
- Find the 'Linked Accounts' section.
- Click 'Connect' next to the Twitch icon and follow the authorization steps.
What is the Geist 'Epoque' Armor Set?
The reward for this inaugural Drops campaign is the Geist 'Epoque' Armor Set. While details on its stats are slim, having a full suit and backpack ready for the launch of Alpha 4.4: Welcome to Nyx is a solid bonus. It's a cosmetic item that lets you customize your character's look without impacting your in-game credits.
Don't miss out on a piece of history as Star Citizen rolls out its first community-wide Twitch campaign. Get your accounts linked and mark your calendar for November 20.
