Rust: How to get Twitch and streamer drops

Rust, a seemingly obscure survival game released in 2018, has become the latest trend amongst the biggest content creators on Twitch, bringing new life to the Facepunch Studios titles.

The developers are well aware of this, and in collaboration with Twitch, have decided to enable drops so that viewers can earn items to use in-game.

More importantly, however, are the exclusive streamer drops, cosmetic items that will only be available by watching specific broadcasters, including the likes of Imane "Pokimane" Anys, Félix "xQc" Lengyel, and more.
