Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially during periods of high item drops. They declutter the screen while highlighting valuable items, streamlining the looting process. While using a controller or playing on console might seem to complicate things, PlayStation and Xbox players can utilize item filters just like PC users. However, the process requires a few steps.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on console versions of PoE 2, you must link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Here's how:
- Log in to the Path of Exile website.
- Click your account name in the upper-left corner.
- Select "Manage Account" on the right, below your profile information.
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either Sony (PS) or Microsoft (Xbox).
After clicking "Connect," you'll be prompted to log in to your PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the login process to link your accounts.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
With your accounts linked, return to your website profile page and click the "Item Filters" button on the right. Then, click the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This opens a new tab displaying available loot filters for Path of Exile 2.
A dropdown menu above the filter list allows you to select "PoE 2." Choose your desired filter and click the "Follow" button on its page. New players might find NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters helpful.
After following a filter, open Path of Exile 2 and navigate to the Options menu. Go to the "Game" tab. At the top, you'll find the "Item Filter" option. Select your chosen filter from the dropdown menu and click "Save." Your in-game items will now be identified with different labels, colors, or sound effects, based on your selected filter.
