Loot filters in Path of Exile 2 are essential for managing the overwhelming number of items that drop as you progress. They help streamline your looting experience by minimizing screen clutter and emphasizing the most valuable items. While sorting and picking up items with a controller can be a bit cumbersome, console players on PlayStation and Xbox can also benefit from using loot filters, similar to their PC counterparts. However, setting up filters on consoles can be a bit tricky, so here's a detailed guide to help you get started.

How to Link Path of Exile 2 and Console Accounts

To utilize loot filters on the console versions of Path of Exile 2, you must first link your console account to your Path of Exile account. This process is facilitated through the Path of Exile 1 website. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Log in to the Path of Exile website.
2. Click on your account name located in the upper-left corner of the webpage.
3. Select "Manage Account" on the right side, just below your profile name and avatar.
4. Under the "Secondary Login" section, click the Connect button for either Sony (PS) or Microsoft (Xbox).

After clicking the Connect button for your chosen console, you will be prompted to log in with your existing PlayStation or Xbox account. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the linking process.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

Once your accounts are successfully linked, return to your profile page on the website and click on the "Item Filters" button on the right side. Then, navigate to the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink, which will open a new tab with a list of the best loot filters available for Path of Exile 2.

At the top of the filter list, you'll find a drop-down box. Change this to "PoE 2" to see filters specifically designed for Path of Exile 2. Select the filter that suits your needs, then click the "Follow" button on the filter's page. For new players, we recommend starting with NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters for a more general and streamlined experience.

After following a loot filter on the official website, launch your game and navigate to the Options menu. Go to the Game tab, where you'll find the Item Filter option at the top. Your selected filter should appear in the drop-down menu. Choose it and click Save. From this point forward, items that drop in the game will be labeled, colored, or highlighted with sound effects according to the filter you've enabled, enhancing your overall gaming experience.
