FAQ and Troubleshooting
What if I don’t claim in time?
If you miss the 24 hour window, you will lose the reward permanently.
Can I run the stream in the background?
Yes, you can technically run the stream in the background, and watch time may count even if muted, as long as the video is actively playing. However, the main goal of Twitch Drops is to encourage genuine engagement with the streams and the Borderlands community, not just AFK farming. Additionally, if the stream is muted and tabbed away, your watch time probably won’t progress because the Twitch player may auto-pause the stream to conserve bandwidth. For best results, keep the tab active and engage with the content.
Are more Twitch Drops coming?
Right now the only confirmed campaign is this one running from launch onward. However, Gearbox often runs additional Drops post-launch, so keep an eye on the official Borderlands site and Twitch channel for announcements.
