How exactly do you obtain this skin? How do you link your accounts to claim it after watching some live streams? Will more campaigns arrive in the future? That’s what we’re here to talk about. Let’s dive into how to claim Doom: The Dark Ages’ Twitch drop rewards.

How to claim Doom: The Dark Ages Twitch drop rewards

Obtaining Doom: The Dark Ages Twitch drop rewards requires creating a Bethesda and Twitch account, linking the two together, and watching one hour of live streams showing off the game. Here’s a complete step-by-step to doing this:

  1. Create a Bethesda account or log into a pre-existing one.
  2. Create a Twitch account or log into a pre-existing one.
  3. Head to Bethesda’s Linked Accounts page and add your Twitch account.
  4. Go back to Twitch and watch any Doom: The Dark Ages live stream for one hour.
  5. After you watch one hour, head into your Twitch inventory to receive a Doom Slayer Guardian reward code.

Once you watch an hour of Doom: The Dark Ages live streams and claim the skin from your Twitch inventory, you’ll just need to redeem the code from Bethesda’s site before launching the game. Below are the steps to doing so:

  1. On Bethesda’s website, click the three lines in the upper-left corner of your screen and select Redeem Code.
  2. Paste your Doom Slayer Guardian reward code into the box before confirming it.
  3. Launch Doom: The Dark Ages and log in to your Bethesda account to receive your Doom Slayer skin.

Completing these three steps will reward you with the Doom Slayer Guardian skin to use for the rest of your playthrough. You can also take these steps to obtain and claim future Doom: The Dark Ages Twitch Drop Campaign rewards as long as you meet the event’s watch time requirements.

All Doom: The Dark Ages Twitch drop rewards

Bethesda and id Software’s current Doom: The Dark Ages Twitch drop campaign has the following rewards you can claim:

  • Guardian Doom Slayer Skin
  • Slayer’s Club Shield Skin

You have from May 12 and June 2 to watch one hour of Doom: The Dark Ages and follow the steps above to claim your rewards, giving you just a few weeks to participate in this event.

At the time of writing, it’s unknown when the next DTDA Twitch drop campaign will take place and what other prizes you can receive. It’s also not known if Bethesda and id Software will release Twitch drop rewards or event skins as cosmetic packs in the future, like they did with previous Doom games. For now, watching one hour of streams is the way to go if you want a free skin before starting your Doom: The Dark Ages playthrough.
