Hey guys! My team and I are looking for a coaching spot and 4th spot on our team! We have two extra tickets for Raleigh Dec. 17th-19th. We are looking for an individual with good skill who can have good communication, good team work, and a positive attitude while competing. I’m a Onyx on my main account and D6 on my alt account. Please message me with serious inquiries only. Thanks! 😊 🎮

What's everyone's thoughts on using a dualshock instead of an xbox controller? I've definitely heard they're better. & would someone be able to use one on an HCS LAN?

switching from kbm because it's not fun in Open queue lol

#

and I see that Formal uses it and a few other pros have made comments to how there can be 0ms on a ps controller versus 7ms on an xbox

#

I guess I'll have to wait and see if they're allowed at the major

distant cobalt
#

is the xbox controller 7ms! thats so slow

potent cove
#

yeah and it's locked

surreal harbor
#

its not locked if you're on pc

potent cove
#

hence why I don't know if I wanna buy one

potent cove
surreal harbor
#

My xbox controller was getting 4ms before...

distant cobalt
#

how do you even test that?

surreal harbor
#

I just looked at videos on yt about overclocking

potent cove
#

okay but 4ms is still different than 0ms

surreal harbor
#

I got it to 1 ms now and it feels great

distant cobalt
#

if you have to do stuff to it, it doesnt count

potent cove
surreal harbor
#

lol what ever you say.

#

No controller will be 0ms out of box as they are meant for console and not pc

distant cobalt
# surreal harbor lol what ever you say.

you dont have a standard controller, you made changes. you arent comparing like for like. its cool you can do that and make it better, but thats not something to consider when buying something on what it is as standard

potent cove
#

I for sure have to switch, I've played primarily PC and I can pick up a controller and do just about as good after never using one, I can only imagine once I use it daily

#

that aim assist is extremely noticeable

#

I've heard DS4 controllers have tighter sticks, better deadzones, less input lag out of the box, might be moves for this game tbh

distant cobalt
#

i like my controller for running the game through my steam link on my tv on my sofa and mnk for desk. even if its not as competitive ill stick to mnk as my main choice

potent cove
#

see, I would like to think the same but I'm willing to switch because I wanna play this game on an even playing field at a high level

distant cobalt
potent cove
#

games are about having fun, I personally don't have fun playing casually but that's me

distant cobalt
#

yeah i used to be like that lol, i just lost the drive to grind out improvement and best performance cos i lost my group of friends that actually shared that mindset and my pals that still play are brain dead. trying to try hard with them was soul destroying

potent cove
#

I watch my stats and I like seeing improvement

distant cobalt
#

yeah i do that too, but just dont sweat it as much anymore. my playstyle was built on my old duo from halo 2, no one has ever matched out synergy no matter how much i tried to train my other pals

potent cove
#

moooood, I started playing solo during fortnite because I accepted that none of my friends would grind like me or were on my level (swear no ego here)

distant cobalt
#

its not ego when you talking about your friends that you know dont match up lol, it is ego when you start saying pros are worse than you in twitch chats lol

potent cove
#

even competing in H5 with them was awful because we just weren't on the same level

distant cobalt
#

yeah my pals just could never stick to my tried and tested playstyle. i had about 8k hours in halo 2, same in 3 and reach. casual played 4 and didnt have a console for 5 so when my pals who were new to halo tried infinite, they were just so infuriating

gilded haven
#

what about the xbox elite controlle?
its what i use... any body know the response time?
it works pretty well with pc

distant cobalt
potent cove
distant cobalt
#

yeah like i dont wanna drop the cash on something so expensive if its not reliable

gilded haven
#

v1 has been very reliable

#

dropped it countless times on wood floor... every button still works with precision

#

only con is the extra cost of buying a rechargeable battery
but seeing as it can be replaced if it burns out, it actually becomes a pro
as v2 battery is built in and non replaceable

distant cobalt
#

ill have to look into the v1 then, cos the v2 exists i hadnt considered it

gilded haven
#

the additional buttons work like a charm
although i only use 2 as when all 4 are on the back mistakes can be made in game from a slip of the finger

#

the other controller i would consider is the
razer wolvrine tournament edition, last gen

#

back buttons in the right place (unlike the newer versions)
and extra shoulder buttons

#

but it is wired

distant cobalt
#

yeah ive not had a console since the 360 and still use my wired controller from day 1 launch with my pc now lol. i am not used to the extra buttons at all and wires dont really bother me but wireless would be a nice little upgrade

gilded haven
#

oh and you have to buy a wireless adapter for the elite controllers

distant cobalt
gilded haven
#

yea, nice and small so dosent get in the way

distant cobalt
#

dont suppose you know what the differences between the v1 and v2 are other than price and battery type?

#

Looking for a fire team, any leads?

#

and a 40hr built in battery

potent cove
#

so we can use any approved modded controllers as long as they're xbox and not playstation?

#

so say scuf, bb, razer, tb anything like that

#

I just wanna use a ps4 scuf over any of those tbh

barren valveBOT
tepid sequoia
#

The sticks are indeed different and can be adjusted in tension, however they also have a significant drift as a result (more than any other controller I know)

#

Hair triggers have one more setting and now interpret their 1-100 range accordingly in that setting instead of just capping below

#

I like the coating better yeah, it also feels more solid whereas v1 is soft plastic. The v1 coating kinda feel apart when I had to repair it once or twice (big weakness in the LB button breaking repeatedly on v1, plus sticks getting loose), it never fit quite right again

#

Overall I'd say get the v2 for sure unless the large stick drift is a deal breaker

this advice literally works at all ranks lol. its just the lower down the more of an impact it will have. but more higher ranked tips....try to predict enemy movements and spawns, you dont need to rush the objective or die trying to hold the ball, run the flag or cap the zone. you can drop the flag and ball to concentrate on fighting and then pick it up after rather than die trying to squeeze a tiny bit of extra time or distance for the objective. and the zone can always be capped after the danger is gone. they are usually open areas with little cover and so staying there makes you an easy target....learn the weapon spawns and timings and control the important ones and deny the enemy possession of them by trying to kill them as they go for it when you are in cover overlooking them rush into danger to try and get them

# distant cobalt this advice literally works at all ranks lol. its just the lower down the more o...

That's some solid advice tbh.

Little things combined together like weapon matchups, positioning in fights, flanking, enemy positions simaltanously and generally building up a "Meta mind" to make more large scale decisions in each match can make or break your games.

My best tip - If you find yourself in a situation where you hesitate, you haven't trained that specific response yet.
When you can snap and deal with a situation on a heartbeat, you know you're prepared for that specific scenario. It's purely a buildup of fast and effective corrections in your gameplay.

#

Aim is good but knowing your enemies choices and forcing them into a disadvantage makes killing them easier.

distant cobalt
torpid beacon
#

Yep. You could flip a fight with the right choices if you're keeping yourself readied.

#

I've been outgunned because I was caught with a weapon I wasn't honed on. I knew to prepare my aim more and fast speed my reactions with it

#

I soon realised I lacked at hitting targets close to me so I focused on fast, high movement mouse aim.

#

Regular and frequent focuses on your weaknesses keep the rust off your gun as one of my old teammates used to say.

torpid beacon
#

I like to chuckle when players ask what the point of a warmup is

#

Gotta shake that rust off early, yadig

distant cobalt
torpid beacon
#

Yeah, your motivation deems your need to succeed competively

And some want to destroy and potentially go competitive, they strike higher

Hello! My team and I are looking to fill a coaching spot & player spot for HCS Raleigh next weekend! We have two team tickets available. We need to lock in a roster by 13th so it would be very helpful to be able to play/scrim with us these next two days to see if everything works out. Upon rules and regulations at Raleigh, you must be vaccinated, if not must take a rapid test each morning of the event or get a PCR test within 72hrs of the event. As a team we are looking for a skilled individual who can have good comms, good team work, and a positive attitude in and out of game. Travel and stay will be responsible on your end. Current ranking of team, Onyx 1510, D2, D5. Please message me if interested. Thank you!

Also have my doubts about their investigation. If they know anything about how routing works, its entirely plausible he wasnt geofiltering

This isn’t the year for halo. go next.

#

royal 2 also deleted all VODs. like can you be anymore shady? i'm sorry but its pretty clear royal cheated. i'm just curious if the rest of sentinels knew

timid timber
#

people geofiltered in older halos, there’s a reason this was brought to light all of a sudden

lime rover
#

that changes nothing about the competitive integrity of doing so...

#

royal 2 is literally sponsered by his ISP...

timid timber
#

Lmao

merry pond
#

I’m confused by the reasoning.

light knot
#

Wait what is going on

merry pond
#

Royal 2 was suspended for cheating.

#

However, I don’t see what the difference here is right. They just said their systems looks at ALL players and auto selects the location based on that.

#

With that system to me it just sounds like Royal wouldn’t have connected right? I just have so many questions

lime rover
#

basically royal 2 had an investigation on him done by 343 to deem wether or not he was geo filtering (geo filtering is manipulation of in game servers to not connect you to a server over a certain ping threshold). 343 deemed royal 2 was guilty of doing so. royal 2 is from canada so it would make sense for him to do something like this. although it held up the tourney by multiple hours so much so the tourney went on until 4 am EST

merry pond
#

Like this is the first sentence in the investigation

lime rover
#

also most teams that had to play sentinels had so many problems connecting to the matches. and had no problem doing so with other teams they played. also made the HCS stream look bad by making them use players personal streams for match viewing

merry pond
#

“In Halo Infinite a server is determined automatically by the game with no organic ability for players to control the outcome of this.” So what are we even talking about.

lime rover
#

343 believes royal 2 was using a 3rd party app to do the geo filtering

merry pond
#

Well he would have to, based on most likely through his router.

#

I’m just confused by their wording though. This is so jargon filled for zero reason.

lime rover
#

as i said a little further up royal 2 is literally sponsored by his ISP. and apparently royal 2 also had an email chain recently going back and forth between him and the ISP

merry pond
#

“Sentinels have been given several opportunities to provide reliable support for an alternative explanation.” Tell us how this can happen! I just think this is a bad investigation

#

Pull ISP logs. It’s that simple.

lime rover
#

the investigation is a bit sus i'll give you that but honestly go watch snipedown's video on YT about it. its pretty unbiased and explains a lot

boreal shell
#

Even if he's sponsored by his ISP, for what purpose would they be having trouble specifically connecting to ALL of azure regions except one. That seems like a pretty large routing outage and would have some logging or visibility on where the breakdown occurred on the ISP end. Now I obviously haven't seen what was provided by his ISP and if that was the case than it should clear him of all wrongdoing.

Otherwise you have to imply that it was done a the router/device level which would be near impossible to "prove" without physical access to devices that could have been altered to achieve this.

Reasonable suspicion without other concrete evidence such as the above ISP level logging or outages would be enough to make an informed decision.

Honestly he probably just forgot to disable it before tournament after was using in matchmaking for the week. Which to be clear I wouldn't blame him for doing, I blacklist most services in APAC region for this reason in any game I play. Most online services (websites and such can be whitelisted if absolutely needed from these regions).

TL;DR makes sense to me when you think about the totality of details available to the public.

#

I can't imagine he'd have done it willingly as it would hurt his team overall in theory based off their locations, just what makes sense from the details.

light knot
#

But if it's accidental then you would think he would have put out an apology to clear things out already

boreal shell
#

Depends what his org has advised him tbh

#

If you're making that decision yourself without any external influence that would in theory be the best play

light knot
#

He's just losing name and reputation now. And on top of not putting out an apology he also deleted all his vods from the last 3 days or so. This doesn't add up to just be accidental

fickle plaza
# merry pond “In Halo Infinite a server is determined automatically by the game with no organ...

This is true, when you connect to a match in Halo Infinite each player pings all available servers for the speeds then it picks the best available out of the average. So if an East and West coast player both matchmake chances are you will see a Midwest server being used more than East or West. During this process every player pings every server, it’s a quick process.

In R2s case he actively blocked every US server except Seattle, so when that server selection happened the only he could connect to was Seattle so it forced the match onto those server as his ping was N/A for every other server.

In large matchmaking I’d wager this isn’t a huge issue since there are hundreds from each locale, but here there were 9 people connecting and when the system said Seattle wasn’t the best but his PC wouldn’t connect anywhere else that caused the lobby issues.

light knot
#

And 343 proved him guilty or atleast guiltyish hence why he got suspended for now

boreal shell
#

Honestly it could have been much worse, 343 was probably about as level headed about this as they could have been. This is not to indemnify them of all of the issues right now but at least for this specific case I agree without any other unknown evidence proving otherwise being released.

fickle plaza
boreal shell
#

Yea I'm more or less playing devils advocate here that IN THEORY there could have been an ISP outage at the time

light knot
#

Atleast it's not real cheating so most damage done to royal now will be from his response to all this. He still is a great player

fickle plaza
#

It’s not cheating like using an Aimbot, but it is an unfair competitive process as determined by the league.

Did they win because of it, probably not.

light knot
#

Yeah it was more of a really irritating and selfish inconvenience seen as he made the tournament get stretched out by a really long time due to lobby issues

boreal shell
#

That honestly ruined the viewing experience and does more to dirty the competition than anything

#

Online tournaments come with their problems, it's to be expected but that was pretty awful

light knot
#

Yeah, I think that's also the main reason he got suspended

#

In a shooter like cod sheer low ping gives a much higher advantage then halo imo

boreal shell
#

If this was me, I would have considered my region filtering as a possible problem and went back and disabled it. (assuming there was no malice involved once again)

#

Like if we were having that many connection issues and it was only OUR lobby something is fishy already

#

start the troubleshooting

light knot
#

Which is what was happening

boreal shell
#

I think there is still some action needed on 343's end, which would be to allow region selecting by only { "NA", "EU", "APAC", etc } rather than MCCs { "US EAST, US WEST, etc"}

#

I don't support breaking it down as far as a specific region within a region, but generic continent level should be feasible

#

we definitely have the playerbase to warrant it

radiant birch
#

It sucks as of what happened to Royal 2, but gunning for a “server select” would have been 10000% supported. Probably even allowed for consideration. But I see where his head was at, wanting LAN performance at an online event. The only main battering ram hitting these castle doors of sentinels was that it interfered within the files, and swallowing the only evidence really just pushed the envelope of “maybe” to “we definitely have a problem.” GG Sentinels, there’s always the Open.

frigid hamlet
#

343 can't even figure out how to make sure games start with balanced teams. Their head canon for most plausible explanation is wrong.

#

Better explanation is that Royal2's ISP was setting up a new fiber line for him and didn't have a properly sized BGP routing tables

frigid hamlet
light knot
frigid hamlet
#

@light knot lol. I meant to say Snakebite's NAT and privacy settings. (Royal2 is Matt.)

#

this is 100% not geofiltering. it's 100% small ISP issues with routing tables. it happens all the time, but people normally dont experience it in the US because we only have like 3 mega ISPs serving most of the country that will have a route (even if sub optimal). a regional ISP might just not have a route for a while because of BGP table sizing and freshness

light knot
frigid hamlet
#

no. they just reproduced the issue

#

it's like saying "my car won't turn on" then 343 is like "we couldn't make our car turn on when we put no gas in it, so that's your issue"

light knot
#

We have determined that the only plausible explanation for Royal 2’s telemetry data pattern referred to above is that there was a direct modification of files giving Royal 2 an unfair competitive advantage during play. This violates the Official Rules, specifically Section VII.C(2) Hacking and Section VII.C(4) Network Abuse.
343 says this tho

#

i can link the article if you want then you can read it yourself

frigid hamlet
#

i read the article

#

they literally don't know what they are talking about. my metaphor works. in my metaphor the telemetry data is saying "theengine won't start" 343 is saying "we reproduced the issue by putting no gas in the car" when there are many more explanations

#

number 1 being and the most plausible being. the BGP tables of his ISP were incomplete

fickle plaza
frigid hamlet
#

yes that's how BGP tables work

#

they discover routes on the internet, entire routes can be missing from a newly setup node at an ISP

#

so then you don't get a connection to certain IP's because the ISP's router literally doesn't know how to route it. smaller ISPs have this problem.

#

the day before the event he got a new fiber line installed, very likely this line was fresh and its BGP tables were not complete when he started using it.

ornate canopy
#

Welp I don't have a whole lot to say so I'll keep the brief. To see the news that Royal 2 was geo-filtering and that Sentinels are taking the downfall for it as a whole is upsetting to see. I'll still support Sentinels from here on out but Royal 2 has some explaining to do. I don't know a whole lot about how servers work or whatever but what I hope happens is that the rest of Sentinels get back on their feet and do whatever it takes to prove that they don't need Royal 2 or geo-filtering. Granted it seems to be a challenge to get another player by tomorrow but I believe that they can get someone to fill his role. I'm disappointed, I'm annoyed and you can espond to me however you like, like I said I don't know everything that there is to know.

frigid hamlet
#

@ornate canopy doen't seem like the 343 investigators conducted a thorough investigation here. the fact that they only can think of one plausible explanation it telling.

Remember these are the same people who can't figure out how to make sure games start with 4v4's.

Depends who royal2's isp was peering with

#

Could have been Lumen/centurylink, zayo, or event hurricane electric. My guess would be one of those 3

But but… the BGP routes…
Glad he came clean but honestly it just proves he did it maliciously.

I don’t think they knew 343 has been logging server pings and tried to play it off as a ISP problem. 343 revealed they had the logs publicly and R2 and Sentinels were dumbfounded.

He knew he had the hosts file modded and did not come clean during the investigation. He should be banned for the season.

frigid hamlet
#

@fickle plaza you got me.

worn fox
#

didnt he just change his server region?

fickle plaza
# frigid hamlet <@!370975134464606208> you got me.

No one got anyone, it’s just sometimes the simplest conclusion is the right one. BGP routes being broken for 7 of 8 Azure server locations is massive and likely would have been known if it was very widespread - and is a plausible conclusion.

I’m glad he came clean but it still leaves a lot unanswered

fickle plaza

#

@fickle plaza i just have had BGP issues with smaller ISPs. like literally part of the internet was missing lool

worn fox
#

ah, i feel like he should've remembered he had those restrictions in place and removed them before the tournament started, feels kinda unfair to the people on the other side

fickle plaza
frigid hamlet
#

@fickle plaza i literally thought he just wasn't getting the central server.

#

and was mostly connecting to the west server

#

which def could be BGP. but yeah 7 out of 8 makes BGP issues impossible here

#

i wonder what the ISP information was lol

fickle plaza
# frigid hamlet i wonder what the ISP information was lol

I think the ISP info was the ISP adding a fiber line in the area recently and it could cause outages/disruptions.

The HCS official statement has the info about the server. It was 6 of 7 sorry.

The game measures the pings of all of the players in the lobby to all of the servers in the world, 7 of which are located in the United States, and then selects the server it determines best for everyone in the match to play on.

all US servers but 1 server in the United States (westus2) were missing from the server ping list,

low sand
#

Yeah but his ISP still has to peer to one of those or possibly to another canadian isp who peers to one of them

You should. The dude admitted to it. What happened to that "100% not geofiltering" and "Their head canon for most plausible explanation is wrong"

Although I feel the punishment is way harsher than it needs to be

frigid hamlet
charred merlin
#

I feel they overstepped the mark significantly with this decision, it's way out of line considering their game is a broken mess right now.

#

like 60% of the player base are using geofiltering via host files because the matchmaking is terrible. The punishment here does not fit the crime and someone needs to say something about it.

dude. i have so many videos of me shooting people and nothing happening. i have one where my teammate was shooting the guy, then i start shooting the same guy, and then he turns around starts fighting me. i had to mangler shoot beat down him twice before he died

later in the game he tables like 6 shots that def should have hit (i have the video) with no shield effect

I'm Dimond 2 in ranked when i win a game i barely get any ELO but when I lose I take giant hits. Yesterday I lost an entire rank over three games. Is anyone else unhappy with the amount of Elo rewarded for wins vs amount lost for losses?

#

can anyone explain why i take huge hits for losing and barely getting any elo for winning despite being at the top of the leaderboard?

ornate canopy
#

I think the higher you go the more you have to lose

I guss that means the less you gain for winning

Ye, that seems normal to me

I wish they would outline how to earn more elo. All i know is win=+elo lose=-elo

It's a law, article 7 of the civil acts rights of 1964. You can not be discriminated against your religion. If you have a religious exception you can go where you want.

I can’t think of a religion that would not allow you to wear a mask, and I honestly don’t see that holding up as private organizations reserve the right to refuse service or entrance to anyone which is not discrimination

It's time to educate yourself in the world. Never use the word cant. Try reading from books and not Twitter

merry jungle

must be jokin......username checks out

fallen tiger
#

If you were educated you would know that private business reserve the right To refuse service, as stated in cakeshop v Colorado civil rights commission. Granting an exemption from laws ensuring non discrimination.

#

I don’t see why you had to get butthurt and act like you know everything but let me know if they let you into that game on your religious exemption.

alpine oasis
#

Its seems just because you Google something does not make you smart and just because you said butthurt 1st does not mean I am but you are. You really need to educate yourself about not being a sheep and listening to the woke. Be greater than yourself and seek enlightenment and dont let peer pressure guide you to what you are now. Peace be with you on your journey.

the civil rights act protects you from discrimination on the basis of religion but since the mask mandates are neutral (they apply to everyone) that claim simply makes no sense

Yeah i dont mess with cnn or fox because they are both biased as hell

but i bet you are a fox sheep

Nik.. no one or rules can violate your religious exception. I can walk in any store without a mask like I have been and they can't do anything to me or to you. Break free from being a slave and wake up.

Stop throwing your rights away and be strong for yourself. Education is power.

i can also walk into any store without a mask that statement means absolutely nothing

These rights are yours by right not by given to you by the government.

burnt girder
#

not wearing a mask isn't some right that we are born with we simply have to wear them because of the pandemic

#

please explain how wearing a mask is somehow such a terrible thing for you

alpine oasis
#

Mask do not do anything to help in this pandemic.

burnt girder
#

except they do and there is scientific evidence to back that up

#

lemme guess though you know better than everyone else

alpine oasis
#

Mask are not scientific to back anything up. They do not help. They do not stop the spread of covid

burnt girder
#

im honestly not even sure what you are trying to say there wtf is mask are not scientific supposed to mean

#

and while you might think you know all masks help even if it isnt some crazy high number they help regardless

#

and still you fail to tell me why wearing a mask is such a big deal

alpine oasis
#

Mask do not help and they will never help. They never had help. Mask are only there to make people feel at ease because they have a hard time dealing with reality. Facts

#

CDC website data. Go check them out and stop listening to people telling you mask help when they dont. Data is facts

#

It's not about stafey it's about control

burnt girder
#

cdc recommends that people follow mask mandates in their local areas to reduce spread of infection

#

thats from their website btw

#

masks have been around longer than covid they are not some new conspiracy so the government can control you

#

also how exactly are masks controlling if the government wanted control they wouldnt be making people wear masks they would just take control

Hours after the ruling was made public, Royal2 issued a response on Twitter.

After “experiencing extremely high ping” in Halo Infinite, he swapped settings to “use the west coast server” only. In doing so, he “failed to turn it off for the NA Kickoff Qualifier.

“I understand the issues my oversight caused,” he said. “I truly did not realize the impact this decision would have, and for that I am deeply sorry.”

loud epoch

#

agreed, i also have wasted a few swaps into things that felt just as bad

#

i mostly wanna chill to get my challenges and being in mid diamond im playing onyx players every game and i have to be extremely focused to win

lunar lake
#

personally getting these challenges just makes me feed the enemy team to end the match faster. if I need wins I just lose a few more matches to drop my rank further

#

if the game is going to be bad and force me to do content I dont want I am going to do the content in the way I want at least

pretty much

oh I need an oddball match? lets go feed the enemies. get through this match since I cant quit or Ill get ban. this match isnt oddball so doesnt matter at all. great content

and they didnt announce that at all. they just give ya a middle finger without warning

Using a swap on this challenge will continue to return a ranked-playlist focused challenge as part of the week long event.

I have drift but it’s not severe to the point where it affects my controls like on some of the older Xbox controllers. Nowhere near as bad as like a switch joy con, to give a comparison.
I think there’s also some settings you can tweak to get rid of the drift in the Xbox app.

HCS Twitch drops
Connect your Twitch account to your Halo Waypoint profile to receive special Twitch Drops.
https://www.halowaypoint.com/settings/linked-accounts?s=09

If for any reason your profile name does not show or shows as "...", you may need to try unlinking and linking again. Alternatively, try refreshing the page and see if your name shows up correctly.

You can find out how to earn and claim each drop by visiting the Twitch Drops campaign section and clicking/tapping into the relevant campaign:
https://www.twitch.tv/drops/campaigns

For HCS events you generally need to watch a few hours of content on Twitch.tv/Halo and/or watch a co-streaming partner.

Grand finals tend to have their own specific reward that requires watching the last few hours of the broadcast on the last day.

You can check your Twitch drops here:
https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory
Or by navigating to the user menu - > drops within the Twitch app

make sure the stream is unmuted

sometimes that causes issues

is the skin drop bugged? its not showing up in my inventory tracker

if you're watching a stream, and drops are enabled, you can click your profile on twitch on the upper right, there's a drop down menu, and it will tell you how close you are to unlocking the drop

I'm at 51%

Depends on what issue they're having. isn't always as simple as forming a lobby again
