Excitement is building among Path of Exile 2 players as Grinding Gear Games (GGG) reveals their planned patch updates, due to drop later this week. With a focus on enhancing the endgame mapping experience, fixing player-reported issues, and improving overall gameplay, here's what to look forward to:
Mapping Transformations:

- Encounters more boss tiles, now one in four maps, with new tablet functionality boosting boss zones
- Three refreshed Tower maps to spice up less-desirable ones, and a revamped existing map
- Reworked mob density and drop volume for all maps, rubbing some excess clutter from the terrain for improved enemy sighting
- Shorter distance for Citadels – easy to spot with a light beam beaming through the fog
- Six Arbiter of Ash attempts at the lowest tier, extending to fewer respawns as difficulty rises, with multiple party portal additions further down the line
- Better expedition shop supplies, increase of Omens in Rituals, and Strongbox tweaks
Uniques and Consoles:
- Large-scale unique item overhauls, tailored for smoother leveling
- Featured mods less likely to appear on high-level gear
- Fixed inability to roll some mods on Tier 5 items (e.g., crossbow attack speed)
- Custom console filters authorized for easier gear organization
- Socketables, such as Runes and Soul Cores, will now be interchangeable
Combat and Balance:
- Decreases in boss attack damages and adjustments to certain floors
- Visibility enhancements for floor effects with optional delay for execution after enemy demise
- Buff to armor systems, including tuning for characters like Warrior, with more tweaks planned for a future league
