The interface of Starry Studio’s Once Human is a bit overwhelming, to put it mildly, and it’s tough 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

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 side of the screen that says “Twitch Livestream Drops”
• Make sure it’s selected 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 and you’ll see a 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 your server 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 9-digit 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 look in the upper right corner to find your profile picture. Click on it and your UID number will be displayed.

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 then 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. You’ll get five cosmetic items, and they’ll show up automatically in the game.

How to equip your new cosmetics in Once Human

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

You’ll be able to see all Once Human cosmetics 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 get actually get it.
