Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt Patch 0.2.0 details

Path of Exile 2’s [1] latest update, Patch 0.2.0, is packed with fresh content, including a brand-new class, expanded mechanics, and major endgame changes. Grinding Gear Games continues to refine the highly anticipated sequel with new ways to customize builds, enhance crafting, and challenge players with tougher encounters. With the introduction of the Huntress class and a complete overhaul of summoning mechanics, this patch brings exciting options for both new and veteran players.

Beyond class updates, Patch 0.2.0 also introduces powerful new Support Gems, unique items, and significant adjustments to the endgame experience. Whether you’re looking to experiment with the latest Ascendancies, take on Rogue Exiles for high-value loot, or explore the new Azmerian Wisps system, this patch offers plenty to discover. Let’s dive into all the major changes and additions coming to Path of Exile 2.

Without further ado, here’s what to know about the upcoming Path of Exile 2 Dawn of the Hunt patch.

New Huntress Class and Mechanics

Patch 0.2.0 introduces the Huntress, a versatile class specializing in spears and tamed beasts. The Huntress features a new parry mechanic via Buckler items, enhancing defensive play. Other classes can equip the new item, but the Huntress excels at it. Players can tame a beast companion and retain its original modifiers for a strong ally. Also, the class has two Ascendancies: Ritualist and Amazon.

New Ascendancies for existing classes

Three existing classes get new Ascendancies:

These additions provide veterans with new playstyles and synergies.

Summoning overhaul

Raise Spectre will be a new ability that allows players to trap and resummon monster souls. Spirit limits determine summon capacity, enabling armies or elite minions. The second skill is Summon Rhoa, allowing players to ride the summon Rhoa in combat. Players can get dismounted if they get stunned.

Support gems and unique items:

The 0.2.0 Patch adds over 100 new Support Gems, including Alignment, Haemocrystals, and Caltrops, with others to be revealed later. There are also more unique items with over 100 new additions, such as Unique Charms.

Azmerian Wisps and crafting changes

A new mechanic, Azmerian Wisps, will appear in Act 1 and the endgame. These wisps strengthen monsters along their path, rewarding players for clearing infused foes. Wisps drop new socketable items for crafting, with tiers that influence mod strength. Runes now have multiple tiers, allowing players to use higher-tier modifiers.

Endgame revamp

Endgame adjustments include:

Rogue exiles and new loots

Rogue Exiles mimic players and wear gear that they drop when they die. These high-risk enemies give incredible loot, including Unique. Four new Unique Strongboxes also arrive, two revealed and two hidden for discovery.

Other endgame content

New Unique Maps, broken Mirrors, and Atlas Passive Points have improved endgame rewards. Essences will get improvements, and Recombination will return, allowing players to merge items for more outcomes. All of these will be accessible for existing characters and new leagues.
