The reward is usually not missing. It is waiting in the Add-ons menu until you claim it into your inventory.
Quick answer
Official bonus items, pre-order rewards, PlayStation bonuses, and Twitch Drops are claimed from the Add-ons menu. Open Menu > Other > Options > Add-ons, select an item from the Receivable Items list, and choose Receive to move it into your inventory. Check there before assuming a reward failed to arrive.
Claim the item before you search your bags
It is easy to check the inventory first, see nothing unusual, and assume the reward has disappeared. The game separates receiving from owning. Go to Add-ons, look for the receivable list, then claim the item. Only after that step should you sort or search your inventory.
For Twitch Drops, confirm the account path
Start with the basic chain: did you watch the eligible broadcast while signed in to the correct Twitch account, did you claim the drop on Twitch, and is the game account linked to the platform account you are using? Do not rush through the linking screen. A linked account on the wrong platform profile can look exactly like a missing reward.
What to do when a reward still does not appear
- Restart the game and revisit the Add-ons menu.
- Confirm that you are on the same account and platform profile used for the purchase or campaign.
- Check the event or purchase notice for regional, edition, or timing requirements.
- Take screenshots of the receivable list, linked account screen, and relevant purchase or Drop claim.
- Use the official report route with those details instead of sending a vague “missing item” message.
Edition bonuses are not the same as gameplay upgrades
Some rewards are cosmetic, some are equipment or tack, and some are tied to a particular edition. Read the in-game item description before you build a plan around it. A bonus can be enjoyable without being the reason a difficult fight suddenly becomes easy. That distinction makes the reward feel like a perk rather than a chore.
Keep the proof until the item is safe
Do not delete purchase emails, event confirmation messages, or Drop receipts the moment you see the reward. Keep them until the item is visible in your inventory and you have played one session with it. It is a modest bit of housekeeping, but it makes support conversations far easier if something gets delayed.

Respect campaign timing
Some Drop campaigns have an end time, a claim window, or a platform-specific eligibility rule. Check those details before spending an evening watching a stream. Once a campaign is over, an Add-ons refresh cannot recreate it. When a reward is still within the stated window, use the official account and support links rather than handing login details to an unofficial giveaway page.
