Path of Exile 2: How to Get Loot Filters on Console
Quick Links
Path of Exile 2 loot filters significantly enhance gameplay, especially in the later stages when item drops increase dramatically. 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 loot filters just like PC users. However, the setup process requires a few steps.
How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts
To use loot filters on consoles, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account through the Path of Exile 1 website. Here's how:
- Access the Path of Exile website and log in.
- Locate your account name in the upper-left corner and click it.
- Select "Manage Account" from the right-hand side menu.
- Under "Secondary Login," click "Connect" for either PlayStation or Xbox.
You will then be prompted to log in to your existing PlayStation or Xbox account. Complete the connection process to link your accounts.
Finding and Using Loot Filters
Once your accounts are linked, return to your profile page on the Path of Exile website. Click the "Item Filters" button, then click the "Item Filter Ladder" link. This opens a new tab displaying available loot 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. Go to the "Game" tab. At the top, you'll find the "Item Filter" option. Select the filter you followed from the drop-down menu and save your changes. Your in-game item drops will now be visually and/or audibly differentiated based on your chosen filter.
