Players can reportedly obtain Fortnite’s Season 3 Twitch Drops by watching any Fortnite stream on Twitch within the allotted period. The two drops will likely require different watch time amounts to claim.

Players will need to link their Epic Games account. Doing so and completing the pop-up prompts will automatically add the rewards to your in-game Fortnite locker.
Fortnite’s Season 3 launch has kicked off a fresh era of competition. The game will look drastically different in the next two months, with its updates and changes trickling into Ranked queues and the competitive sphere. A heavier emphasis on ability usage, largely due to new Superpowers, will cause many players to rethink their strategies. Plenty of experts and pros will be livestreaming, testing and delivering their thoughts on Season 3 once it arrives, so it’s a good time to start watching Fortnite esports and learning the meta if any users are on the fence.
In addition, the Twitch Drops will probably contribute to Fortnite’s expected player count spike at Season 3’s launch. Players will likely notice faster queue times in all modes due to a higher population and more active teammates.
