The Assault Rifle coating requires one hour of watch time, the Sidekick requires two hours, and the Battle Rifle is the final reward, requiring three hours total watching the HCS Anaheim streams.

The last Twitch drop is only available during the grand finals on Feb. 13. For watching the top two North American teams battle it out, players can earn a new pose for their Spartan called HCS Celebration.

You can catch all of the Halo Infinite action this weekend when the tournament begins on Friday. Make sure that your Twitch account is linked to Halo Waypoint in order to receive your goodies. The qualified North American teams will be attempting to dethrone the dominant Cloud9 roster, who have maintained an undefeated streak throughout the HCS Pro Series since taking the trophy at HCS Raleigh in December.
