i don't even use twitch, i sure hope modder's can mod it in, cause i'm not gonna support twitch.

[LeftIsBest-James]

I don't really recall using it. What was it again?

[Akkarin]

I prefer the car.

But yes, its annoying enough having to watch ♥♥♥♥ on twitch to get drops but now they are wanting people to pay for it too.

Not only that my house mate tried to get the helmet today and all the streamers linked for it were either playing other games or offline.

Ubi does this with Rainbow 6 Siege, but only for cosmetics, not weapons. And that's Ubi, so...

Activision did it too, for 2 paid subs you could get a mount in Diablo 4. CD Project Red just wants to convince everyone that they are now in the same league with ActiBlizz and Ubisoft!

And the worst thing is that it doesn't even look like it's just a cosmetic item:

Yasha is an Iconic version of the Ashura Smart Sniper Rifle. From the 2.0 Update onwards, you’ll be able to upgrade your Iconic weapons using crafting materials, keeping them relevant for your entire playthrough. Please do not expect a difference in power with this weapon — it is balanced to be equal to the standard Ashura Sniper Rifle. After the update, Iconics with unique abilities will not be able to equip extra mods. However, Yasha and certain other Iconic weapons don’t have unique abilities, thus they will be able to accept weapon modifications.

After redeeming your code, you will be able to find Yasha in your stash in-game.

I've tried redeeming the code but it seems nothing wants to link up or accept my code. Struggling to get these things.

The quote you posted tells you that its essentially the same as the regular Ashura, IT IS a reskin.

[Mr D Grim]

you can add this and other drops using the mod cyber engine tweaks to enable console commands and adding them with said commands

Game.AddToInventory("Items.Preset_Ashura_Twitch", 1)

It isn't. They say it was BALANCED to be equal to standard Ashura Rifle, but if it was just a skin then it wouldn't require any balancing, am I right? Thus meaning that it is actually a different weapon of more or less same power!

Also, you did ignored the 2nd bold text part, where it is clearly said that Yasha not only has an Unique ability, but it is allows to accept modifications! While standard Ashura rifle doesn't allow players to put any attachments on it! See screenshot with the direct comparison of these two rifles - https://prnt.sc/km5s5HlHFiTv

Meh.. I don't mind supporting my favorite streamers and getting a cool in-game item from it.. What I do have a problem with is its a smart sniper rifle that sucks really bad. so many better sniper rifles.

How did you misread it when its highlighted for you, maybe the problem was that too much was highlighted:

It's not even worth it, it's a literal 1 bullet per clip gun. Even if it guaranteed kills on most regular enemies with 1 shot, it's still only 1 shot, that's absolute trash for $10.

[Atomsk]

Using console commands to get it, this "sniper" rifle is a huge ripoff. Doesn't add any interest gameplay that you would expect from a RMT gun.

Smart Sniper Rifles are great for amazing trick shots to shoot a piece of equipment hiding beyond cover a long way away, but you can just use the one you get from the store for that.

[Lora Grim]

Yeah. This would only be a problem if it was a multiplayer-only game. Since it's single player, you can cheat it in, hack it in, or mod it in.

I will no longer support any future CDPR products ever again.
