How to get Once Human Twitch Drops

The interface of Starry Studio’s Once Human is a bit overwhelming, to put it mildly, for newcomers to find their way around. Only after clicking random tabs in one of the many menus does it become clear that players can obtain free in-game goodies by watching some live streams. But how exactly do you nab these Twitch drops for Once Human?

Free Once Human loot from Twitch

• Link your Once Human and Twitch accounts
• Watch eight hours of Once Human streams
• Claim your loot from Twitch and check your in-game mail

Get to the correct screen

First, you need to link your Once Human game account with your Twitch account. From within the game:

• Hit Esc, then Shop Events, and finally Events (F3)
• At the top of the next screen, select Event
• You’ll see a box on the left that says “Twitch Livestream Drops”
• Select it and then click on Participate (F)

This will open your web browser and take you to oncehuman.game/twitch. That said, it’s easier to go to the site directly from your web browser.

Step 01 – Logging into your Once Human account

• Scroll down the page to the blue box marked Step 01/Step 02
• Select whether you want to sign in via Google, Facebook, or Twitter
• In the new dialog box, select your server and enter your user ID

The servers are not listed in numerical order, and there are a lot of them, so don’t feel concerned if you don’t find yours right away. Also, some of the server names are similar — PVE01-00019 versus PVE01-00119, for example. If you get a message saying your account doesn’t exist, double check that you’ve selected the correct server.

How to find your Once Human user ID

Your user ID is the number with UID in front of it in the lower left corner of the screen. If your number has dash-number at the end (123456789-0), the dash-number isn’t part of your UID.

The UID also doesn’t show up on every screen. To find it at any time, hit Esc and click on your profile picture in the upper right corner to display your UID number.

Step 02 – Link your Once Human account with Twitch

The hard part is done. In the second step, just enter your Twitch login details, get through two-factor authentication, and grant the game access to your Twitch info. Then your Once Human and Twitch accounts will be linked.

Now, head to Twitch, find a Once Human stream, mute it (optional), and let it play in the background for eight hours to earn your five free cosmetic items.

Claiming your Once Human Twitch drops

From Twitch, click on the Notifications icon at the top of the screen; it’ll let you know when you’ve earned each item. Clicking on the notification will take you to the Twitch Drops & Rewards page to claim your new goodies from the Inventory tab. They will be sent to your in-game mail.

How to equip your new cosmetics in Once Human

• Hit Esc, then Backpack
• In the Backpack sub menu, select Cosmetics
• Click on any piece of gear and it’ll open another, more easily navigable menu

You’ll be able to see all the Once Human cosmetics currently available, and you can browse for a specific item slot using the sidebar on the left. If you find an item you like, clicking on Purchase or Obtain will take you to the confusing item shop so you can try to figure out how to actually get it.
