FNCS Twitch Drops

As per the Epic Games press release, viewers will be able to earn FNCS-themed Fortnite Items, including a spray, emoji and back bling during the various broadcasts. However, one will have to link their Epic account to their Twitch account before they start viewing the Drops-enabled game. They even added that if one is willing to stream FNCS on their own channel, they can also give out drops. To opt for the problems, people will have to email Epic Games and complete their request before July 29, stating that they agree to abide by the community rules and include the Epic Account ID and Twitch URL in the email.
