How to get Escape from Tarkov Twitch drops: New Year event rewards

A new Escape from Tarkov Twitch drops event is live, so here’s how to take part in EFT’s New Year celebrations, just like in previous years.

Battlestate Games are celebrating the New Year by again offering players limited-time Twitch drops.

Thanks to the wipe in update 0.16 (check out the full patch notes here) lots of players are jumping back into Tarkov this winter.

If you’re one of them, then make sure you take advantage of the New Year’s Twitch drops, as they won’t be around forever.

Escape from Tarkov New Year Twitch Event dates

To earn the Twitch drops, you need to watch Escape from Tarkov on Twitch between December 31, 2024 and January 4, 2025.

Rewards are dropped daily, starting at 8am ET / 1pm GMT, and run for 24 hours.

Each day, there is a task for the streamers to complete. If they achieve it, the drop for the next day will be enhanced. For example, the first task is to Kill PMCs at any location, 3500 times.

Only streamers registered for that day of the campaign can complete tasks.
