'Escape From Tarkov' Twitch Drops Undergo Significant Enhancements Following User Feedback
Battlestate Studios has revealed significant updates to the ongoing Twitch Rewards for Escape from Tarkov, following criticisms from certain fans who felt some of the rewards they received were virtually worthless.
The Twitch Rewards for Escape from Tarkov have been running for a few days and are set to continue for a couple more days before transitioning to Escape from Tarkov Arena. Nevertheless, after the initial rewards started reaching players, discontent began to surface.
Regarding the underwhelming nature of some rewards, it's customary to have dissatisfied fans grumbling about receiving subpar items from the drops, such as a few barter items or supply packages. However, this situation was unique due to the recent patch updates that demand all items necessary for enhancing the hideout to be discovered during raids.
This implies if you possess an item absent from raids, that is, an item you find on the map and successfully extract, you'll be unable to utilize it to improve your hideout - the primary use for most of the barter items in Tarkov. Since drops frequently include numerous barter items, this change rendered the majority of them practically useless, except for trading with traders for a few roubles.
However, after a surge in complaints, Battlestate Studios has disclosed via the official Escape from Tarkov social media platforms that all future drops within this campaign will feature raid-discovered items. Consequently, you'll be able to employ items acquired from drops to enhance your hideout, or you can wait a few days for the flea market to reopen and sell them to other players.
Undeniably, this change is a positive development, and it appears that if you haven't redeemed any of your previously earned drops, they will be upgraded to raid-discovered items - an added perk for the patient ones. If, like me, you immediately redeemed all your drops, you'll need to tune in to certain streams over the next few days to acquire your free raid-discovered items via Twitch Rewards.
