Grinding Gear Games has unveiled new details about Path of Exile 2’s upcoming 0.2.0 update, giving players a glimpse at fresh mechanics, support gems, and powerful Unique items set to arrive in approximately one month.
Towers, Bosses, and Endless Customization
One of the biggest changes in Path of Exile 2 update 0.2.0 is the overhaul of Towers, which can now spawn with mechanics—including bosses. Additionally, players will be able to enhance Towers by applying content from other Towers via tablets, allowing for even greater customization and challenge—similar to map juicing in the original game.
New Support Gems Expand Build Diversity
The upcoming Path of Exile 2 update 0.2.0 is also bringing a host of new support gems, that focuses on underutilized skills. Some of the highlights include:
- Derange – Alters existing mechanics for unpredictable combat interactions.
- Volcanic Eruption – Enhances fire-based attacks with explosive impact.
- Embitter, Concoct, and Commiserate – Expand the range of strategic buffs and debuffs available to players.
Two New Unique Items Introduced
Two Unique items will make their debut in update 0.2.0, bringing fresh and powerful build opportunities:
- The Bringer of Rain – This gladiatorial weapon lets players wield Two-Handed Weapons in one hand, but at a cost—it disables Body Armour, forcing players to rely on skill and strategy for survival.
- Hammer of Faith – A massive Two-Handed Mace that grants random shrine effects, invoking the divine power of Wraeclast’s gods, both old and new.
More Teasers to Come
With the update roughly a month away, Grinding Gear Games will continue revealing more details leading up to the release of POE2’s 0.2.0 update. Keep an eye out for additional teasers showcasing new content, balance changes, and system improvements in the coming weeks.
