Update 0.2.0: Dawn of the Hunt and New Features
Version 0.2.0 is headlined by the new Dawn of the Hunt content, promising significant additions to the Path of Exile 2 endgame experience.
A dedicated preview page for update 0.2.0 reveals that quality of life upgrades will include a new feature allowing players to lock their main hand, off-hand, or both weapon slots. This will enable the seamless use of the same item across two distinct weapon sets.
Furthermore, the update will introduce a wealth of new support gems, alongside new Ascendancy Classes, Tower spawns, and unique items, expanding gameplay possibilities.
New Items and Endgame Improvements
As highlighted in a GGG blog post, players can “Embrace your Gladiatorial fighting spirit by using The Bringer of Rain, allowing you to wield Two-Handed Weapons in one hand at the cost of your Body Armour.”
Another example includes the “Hammer of Faith Two-Handed Mace,” which grants random shrine effects, allowing players to “show your devotion to the Gods of Wraeclast, old or new.”
Perhaps most notably, the update brings improvements to the endgame experience, featuring fresh choices for the Atlas Passive Skill Tree, providing enhanced customization and strategic depth.
