I see other people placing bigger units. How do I get my hands on those?

• Those are our EPIC units, which have more health and do more damage. As you place units, you earn potions. When you have accrued 45 potions, you can then upgrade a unit to EPIC status.

Can I play Stream Raiders on mobile?

• You can! Mobile support is in beta, and you can play by going to https://www.streamraiders.com on your mobile device’s browser. 

All I see is "Waiting for Captain"! How do I play?

• Your Captain is either choosing their next battle or hasn’t started the battle yet. Once the Captain does either, you’ll be ready to place your Units.

How many Captains (streamers) can I join at once?

• During the Beta you can join 3 captains at a time (4 during events with a Battle Pass purchase). You may leave a Captain by clicking the red X, but you will lose any rewards if you have placed units in a pending battle.

Why is my Captain and Viewer progression different?

• Because the gameplay experience varied between playing as a Captain and playing as a viewer. We separate the progression paths to ensure that we can balance each properly. Any purchased or gifted skins should carry over across your Captain and viewer account, but skins earned through progress, such as Battle Pass skins, will not transfer.

Is there a downloadable client?

• The downloadable client is currently for Captains only. 

I have feedback or want to report a bug. Where would I do that?

• We love feedback so if you have something to suggest we want to hear it! If you’ve found a bug in Stream Raiders, we’d also love to hear about it. Please open a support ticket.
