Loot filters in Path of Exile 2 are invaluable, especially when items start dropping in large numbers. They streamline your looting experience by reducing screen clutter and highlighting the most crucial items on the ground, making your gameplay smoother and more enjoyable.

While manually sorting and picking up items on console or with a controller can be tedious, PlayStation and Xbox players can benefit from item filters just as PC players do. Setting up filters on consoles can be a bit tricky, so here's a comprehensive 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 link your console accounts to your Path of Exile account. This process is facilitated through the Path of Exile 1 website. Follow these steps to link your accounts:

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

After selecting the Connect button for your 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, select the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink to open a new tab with the best loot filters for Path of Exile 2.

At the top of the filter list, you'll find a drop-down box. Change this to "PoE 2." Browse through the filters and click on the one you wish to use, then press 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. The filter you followed should appear in the drop-down menu. Select it and click Save. From this point forward, items that drop in the game will be labeled, colored, or accompanied by sound effects according to the filter you've enabled.
