BETTER LOOT How To Activate Loot Filters in Path of Exile 2

Path of Exile 2 is a next generation free-to-play Action RPG from Grinding Gear Games, featuring co-op for up to six players. Set years after the original Path of Exile, you will return to the dark world of Wraeclast and seek to end the corruption that is spreading. Journey across the deadly continent of Wraeclast, meeting multiple immersive cultures while facing off against evil in many forms.

Do battle with Corrupted abominations and Divine creations alike wielding skills that can be used together in graceful combinations. Choose your own skills, and don equipment of your choosing. Path of Exile 2's skill tree allows any class to specialise into any style of combat. Any class can use any Skill Gem, and those Skill Gems can be further modified by up to 5 Support Gems that can drastically alter how the skill works.

In addition, you can now Dual-Specialise your passive skill tree, allowing your character to switch between two wildly different fighting styles at will.

AI Steps from this video-
1. Download a Loot Filter:
Visit a website that offers PoE2 loot filters (such as NeverSink or other creators).
Find the filter you want (e.g., one optimized for your class or specific playstyle).
Download the filter file (it will be a .filter file).
2. Locate Your Path of Exile 2 Folder:
On Windows, go to:
Documents > My Games > Path of Exile 2
Inside the PoE2 folder, you’ll find a folder called Filters.
3. Install the Filter:
Move the downloaded .filter file into the Filters folder within your Path of Exile 2 directory.
4. Activate the Filter In-Game:
Launch Path of Exile 2.
Open the Options menu (found in the top-right corner of the screen).
Go to the Game tab.
Scroll down to find the Loot Filter section.
Click Filter and then select Reload Filters. The game will refresh to show any new filters that have been added to your folder.
Choose the filter you just added from the list.
5. Adjust Additional Settings (Optional):
Enable/Disable Visuals and Sounds: The filter will modify item visuals, sounds, and drop effects based on rarity or value. You can adjust these settings further to your preference.
Hide Low-Value Items (Optional): If you’re leveling, consider disabling the option that hides items on the ground so you can still see useful crafting materials.
Customize the Filter (Advanced): You can also edit the .filter file in a text editor (like Notepad++) if you want to fine-tune it (e.g., highlight specific items like jewels or weapons). This is optional and requires knowledge of filter syntax.
6. Enjoy Your Loot Filter!
Now when you drop items in-game, the filter will visually highlight high-value or important loot based on your settings, making it easier to identify valuable drops.

Thank you so much, this is the perfect Guide. I have hundreds of hours in PoE1, but never got so deep into endgame that i needed a Filter. PoE2 is way more up my alley, and i feel like a Filter is mandatory running higher Tier Maps. And i have finally the awesome Sounds i always hear when watching Streams ☺

[DreadNoughtus]

If anyone is having trouble with the filter not showing up in the drop down box just click on the folder by it and open the filter not the read me and open it with notepad and just click on save/save as and save it and then it will show up, took me 2 days to figire this out but it works for rare cases like i had

Really really want a collab between Neversink and GGG to create an in-house item filter setting with full customization UI for us to toy around with. I’m certain it will come, it has to. That would be the ULTIMATE dev move.

Would really like to see this as an in-game function, rather than using an external source. Same with trading honestly. Or at the very least, allow us to trade with offline players for non-negotiable prices. It is annoying having to trade from an external site, and then go through the ghetto whispering process. Game is great - I truly love it - but man, these are some stupid game functions.

Neversink said he is waiting on ggg to open some things up code wise so he can do what he needs to for console activation. So it will come. Just need to be patient.

3:39 Glad you didn't drop a map, don't want my speakers blown out. :o

[bobsinclair]

expecting GGG to cook up an in game UI for filters

Last Epoch still has the GOAT of ARPG loot filters.

PoE 2 is amazing. But the loot filter sucks and the lack of being able to rotate the camera like Grim Dawn is disappointing.

[yeahhhh]

it just shows the filter in notepad and doesn't let me do anything with it

[jimbrown]

Thank you. I was watching someone play and I was not sure how to do this. Much appreciated.

[hackdotx]

If the item isn't listed in the filter, is it filtered out? Or do you have to manually filter out items

[jdub_bkv]

When playing multi-player, what should the loot options be? Short or long allocation or free for all?

[HallaPlaygaming]

Drybear thank you as always for this, I wanted to ask, what would it look like for a created filter that shows all items with Quality on them?

[omnilothar]

for steam where do you put the .filter file?

[stoops]

where can we find a list of loot filter sounds and minimap icons for when we edit?

[chrisseitzberg]

Which program should handle the file?
I cant open from game.

[jcmc]

what is the difference between neversinks v2 and lite? you are using the v2 why was the lite linked? is it better? :o

[jasonkrauser]

Is there a way to highlight certain mods on items? Like say I wanted to create a light beam on all amulets that have Spirit?
