Loot filter in Path of Exile 2 — a settings file that tells the game how to display dropped items on the screen. Such item sorters are developed by the players themselves and are designed to make the gameplay easier. If at the initial stages of PoE 2 not many useful items drop from monsters, then by the middle of the game the locations can be strewn with junk of varying degrees of usefulness. Therefore, sorting and collecting the necessary items takes up precious time that could be spent more usefully, clearing the next location or killing the boss.
In this guide, we'll tell you how to install a loot filter in PoE 2, we'll look into the functionality of popular sorters, and we'll also show you how to set up and use item filters.
Best Item Filters in Path of Exile 2
At the moment, you can find dozens of loot filters of varying quality online. On the official forum, many players share their own sorters. Let's look at the three most famous contenders for the title of the best item filter.
Loot Filter NeverSink
One of the most popular in the community is the loot filter from a player under the nickname NeverSink. The user tried to provide his utility with the most convenient functionality, setting it up in such a way that it would suit most players. Lootfilter is actively supported by the developer and is constantly updated.
NeverSync's loot filter is designed to sort dropped items and highlight the most valuable items visually and with sound. It adapts to the player's progression and focuses on the most useful items at different stages of development.
Despite the fact that NeverSink has done a tremendous job and written a convenient display of all the necessary items on the screen, its sorter is more of a universal basis for writing more functional filters for different players.
Loot filter Cyberion
Nickname Cyberion initially created his loot filter for himself and his guild. Later, he decided to share the development with the game community on the official forum. The item filter is based on the above-mentioned project from NeverSink, the new utility displays valuable items that drop much more vividly.
The Cyberion loot filter is more informative, which makes it suitable for more players. Install it if you want a clear visual separation of items. The downside is the lack of sound for high-value items that drop.
Pecham Loot Filter
Another sorter for dropped items developed by a user Pecham. Like the previous one, it is based on the NeverSync loot filter and makes some modifications to it. You can choose configurations for early and late games by installing different files, it is well suited for beginners. Experienced players can also stop at this sorter or install the equally good option from Cyberion.
One of the disadvantages of this item filter is that the author places his file on Pastebin - after downloading, you need to change the extension yourself * .txt on *.filter.
