Crate drops

The team regularly gives cosmetic crates to active players. Since v1.3.43 (August 22), all crates can drop, not just the Pre-Season 3 ones.

Drop rules

  • To receive crates, you must have played Solo during the period chosen by the team, usually the 48 hours before the drop.
  • Opening a ticket to claim crates or a skin is punished with a Discord ban (rule restated on August 27, 2026).
  • Crates you receive are in your account's crate inventory.
  • No money: ROTK accepts no donations, sells no skins and does not trade them for money. To get skins, you have to play: crates drop every day (reminder from Teuf, September 24, 2026).

Streamers and creators

  • Twitch set: on August 28, 2026, everyone who had streamed ROTK on Twitch received a set of Twitch skins. Requests were made by private message to LeBerga (not by ticket), and they were closed on the evening of August 28.
  • Best-of video: on August 23, UKC Oziika launched a ROTK best-of video, with a call for clips in the Discord "highlights" channel.
  • Team streams: LeBerga answers questions live on Twitch (for example on August 22, 2026).
  • See also the skin partnerships (TEUF, AKER, PSG, Lyon, KICK, Gentle Mates…) on the Team and community page.
