Diablo 4 killer, has taken notes from previous ARPGs and added a loot filter.

This is just one of many changes that Path of Exile 2 has brought. Skill Gems have been largely reworked and offer builds more flexibility than ever. Combat has also been tuned to feel slower but with a more rewarding sense of difficulty. Bosses are a great example of this, throwing a large array of attacks at players, and focusing on proper dodge and attack periods to succeed.

The Best Loot Filter For Path Of Exile 2

A Clear Look At Rewards

The best loot filter for Path of Exile 2 has been created by NeverSinkDev (via GitHub). Though this can only be used on PC, it is a huge boon for players. The most noteworthy changes this filter makes are as follows:

  • Hiding obsolete gear at higher levels
  • Different label colors for different crafting currencies and gems
  • Specific noise alerts when certain items drop
  • Map icons to help find lost items/certain item objectives

Even with all these changes, and more, the filter still caters to all areas of the game. It will highlight anything with a socket or of higher quality, so players can collect it for later use when crafting gear in Path of Exile 2. It will also differentiate jewelry from regular equipment, so jewelry is less easily overlooked. Overall, this filter is an amazing quality-of-life addition to the game that still has plenty of features to come.
