When Does Path of Exile 2’s Dawn of the Hunt 0.2.0

Path of Exile 2’s Dawn of the Hunt 0.2.0 update release date release date brings us the popular action-RPG’s first major content drop since its launch in early access, introducing the new Huntress class, five new ascendancies, and much more.

Encouraging hybrid playstyles, the Huntress is a quick, versatile combatant who blends melee and ranged attacks while also being able to exploit elemental damage and bleeding through her skills. Her ability to parry attacks enables powerful follow-up strikes that decimate foes, making the new class reason alone to hop back in if you’ve been taking a break.

Aside from the new Huntress class and ascendancies for the Witch, Mercenary, and Warrior, the update also introduces 25 new skill gems, including Raise Spectre and a rideable Rhoa mount, more than 100 support gems, as well as more than 100 unique items, greatly increasing the number of potential builds our characters can lean into.

Rogue exiles and unique strongboxes make Wraeclast a bit more dangerous while potentially yielding rewards for any exile brave enough to take them on.

PoE2’s 0.2.0 update also brings with it seven new endgame map types, alongside significant changes to the way in which endgame progression is handled.

Rather than completing a set number of maps belonging to each tier, we’ll navigate corrupted zones while making our way to a nexus.

Once this focal point of corruption is cleared of enemies, we receive Atlas passive points while nearby corrupted maps we’ve yet to complete turn into cleansed maps, which come with new bosses and monsters.

Towers and tablets are also receiving changes that make them less of a hassle to interact with while increasing the amount of benefits they can offer. The video embedded below provides a good look at how endgame will change when Path of Exile 2’s 0.2.0 update releases.

There won’t be a dedicated new league mechanic this time around, with all these additions being available on both the existing league as well as new ones that reset the economy while requiring us to level new characters.
