Genshin Impact x HEYTEA Collab: 8-Drink Set for Merch, No In-game Code Sparks Debate

HEYTEA updated their mini-program early, revealing that fans must purchase an eight-drink set to receive a full set of merchandise (2 badges and 1 acrylic stand). Notably, there is no in-game item code (CDK) included; the collab only offers themed paper bags and cup stickers.

The brand cautioned that some stores will be take-out only to avoid large gatherings. Veteran fans warned that the mini-program might crash due to high traffic, as seen in previous collabs, while others critiqued the quality of HEYTEA's newer beverage line.

The comment section is buzzing with mixed reactions. Many players stated they would skip the event due to the lack of an in-game code, citing health concerns and the inconvenience of long queues. Others expressed their intent to simply buy the merch via second-hand platforms later (a phenomenon called 'Tongfan'), while some jokingly complained about the difficulty of finding eight friends to help 'grind' the eight-drink requirement.
