Loot filters are a game-changer in Path of Exile 2, especially when you're bombarded with countless item drops. They streamline your gameplay by cutting down on visual clutter and drawing attention to the most valuable items on the ground, making the looting process feel smoother and more enjoyable.

Navigating through items with a controller on consoles can be a bit cumbersome, but the good news is that PlayStation and Xbox players can leverage loot filters just as effectively as their PC counterparts. While setting up filters on consoles can be a tad confusing, this guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

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 accounts to your Path of Exile account. Here's how you can do it through the Path of Exile website:

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

After selecting the Connect button for your console, you'll need to sign in with your existing PlayStation or Xbox account. Follow the on-screen instructions, and your accounts will be successfully linked.

Finding and Using Loot Filters

Once your accounts are connected, return to your profile page on the Path of Exile website and click on the "Item Filters" button on the right side. Then, navigate to the "Item Filter Ladder" hyperlink. This will open a new tab showcasing the top loot filters for Path of Exile 2.

At the top of the filter list, you'll see a drop-down menu. Change this to PoE 2. Next, select the filter you'd like to use and click the "Follow" button on its page. For beginners, we suggest using NeverSink's semi-strict or regular filters for a more general and streamlined experience.

After you've followed a loot filter on the website, launch your game and go to the Options menu. Navigate to the Game tab, and at the top, you'll find the "Item Filter" option. Your chosen filter should appear in the drop-down menu. Select it and click Save. From this point forward, items that drop in the game will be tagged with different labels, colors, or even sound effects according to the filter you've enabled.
