    Once you’ve watched the required amount of time during the relevant periods, or gifted the subs required for the sniper rifle, you’ll see a pop up to tell you and you can claim whatever you’ve earned from your Twitch drop inventory here.

    To claim the Yasha sniper rifle you will need to gift an eligible Twitch partner two Twitch subscriptions of any tier.

    Spend money on our partnership to receive “free” in game guns. They made content, you need to pay to receive, ie a microtransaction.

      This is a bit misleading as the weapons have been added to the game for free after the initial time gated event was finished.

        Ah yes, defend them for making a microtransaction And lying about them not belonging.

        It’s not misleading, if I’m misleading they are too my saying what they are about microtransactions, they’ve done it previously.

        They will keep doing this, and lying about it, since their fans will just excuse them and try to convince others for them. Give your head a shake lmfao.

      All the twitch weapons like yasha and pit bull have been added to the Dogtown airdrops with 2.1 and if you miss a drop you can buy it from Herold in game.

        So it’s okay since it’s now free? It sounds like you’re trying to excuse and defend the microtransactions they’ve made before. Did they or did they not have content that you had to pay to access?

          Not op, but honestly… I’m a patient gamer, I usually play game years after it releases, so in this case I wouldn’t even know about it.

          But there are games where the first thing I see after launching it is an ad for some cosmetic bullshit, half the main menu consist of just links to real life money shop, load screens are just another ad for cut content, etc.

          So all in all I would say these are different things. Although I agree paywall anything in single player is bad even when it’s time limited. Not counting regular DLC (data discs or expansions as we used to call those before internet).
