Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially during high-item density situations. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate this, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize item filters just like PC users. This guide clarifies the process.
To use loot filters on PoE 2 consoles, you must link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these steps:
After clicking "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your existing PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the login process to link your accounts.
With linked accounts, return to your website profile and click the "Item Filters" button (right-side). Click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available filters.
Select "PoE 2" from the drop-down menu above the filter list. Choose your preferred filter and click "Follow." For new players, NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters offer a good starting point.
After following a filter, open Path of Exile 2 and navigate to the Options menu. Under the "Game" tab, select the "Item Filter" option. Your chosen filter should appear in the drop-down menu. Select it and click "Save." Your game will now utilize the filter, altering item labels, colors, or sound effects based on the filter's settings.
