Overwatch Season 4 Twitch Drops Live with MEKA Squad Rewards
by JR Cook - 3 months ago show comments
Season 4 is here and Blizzard is celebrating with a fresh batch of Twitch Drops for anyone ready to defend Busan. The campaign launched today at 11 AM PT and runs through September 19 at 12 PM PT, giving you over a month to rack up watch time and snag some exclusive MEKA Squad-themed rewards.
The drop tiers scale up from 20 minutes to 8 hours of total watch time, and you can bounce between any Overwatch stream on Twitch without losing progress. The headliner rewards include a Cute Sierra Avatar at 2 hours and a MEKA Squad Namecard at 3 hours, both themed around the D.Va lore drop we’ve been getting this season. You’ll also unlock two sprays (Bad News and Shion Slide) early in the grind, plus a Regular Lootbox at 5 hours and an Epic Lootbox at the 8-hour mark.
One quality-of-life change worth noting is that Twitch no longer requires you to manually claim each drop before progressing to the next one. You’ll still need to claim everything within 24 hours after the campaign ends on September 19, but you can let the progress stack while you watch without micromanaging the drop page. If you’re streaming from your phone or tablet, the Twitch app for Android and iOS both support drops, but console and smart TV apps don’t, so plan accordingly.
If you’re planning to knock out all 8 hours in one sitting or across a few marathon sessions, a solid headset makes all the difference. The SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5 is a premium wireless option that holds up well for extended wear, and the HyperX Cloud III Wireless offers excellent sound isolation if you’re trying to focus on the stream without distractions.
Start off your defense of Busan right by tuning in to your favorite Overwatch stream on Twitch! Watch for the following durations to earn the corresponding rewards:
- Bad News Spray: 20 mins
- Shion Slide Spray: 1 hour
- Cute Sierra Avatar: 2 hours
- MEKA Squad Namecard: 3 hours
- Regular Lootbox: 5 hours
- Epic Lootbox: 8 hours
