Path of Exile 2 Continues Teasing 0.2.0, Showing New Support Gems, Visual Improvements, and Weapon Lock

The Path of Exile 2 team continues teasing content coming in update 0.2.0, including a new weapon lock and visual improvements to Essences.

The latest round of teasers shows off the weapon lock, a quality of life feature that lets you lock your main or off-hand weapons (or both) In order to use the same items between your two weapon sets. 

There’s a preview of some of the visual improvements to Essences. This new preview is part of an overall effort to improve both the visuals and the audio in Path of Exile 2.

During Early Access, Grinding Gear Games has committed to a series of improvements and work to deliver on some of the promises made. The team admitted to overcommitting and is now focused on these improvements.

We also get clips of two new Support Gems on the way. There will be a bunch of new ones coming, but here, we get to preview Battershout and Perfection Support. These join the previously shown off Derange, Volcanic Eruption, Embitter, Concoct and Commiserate,  and are not all of the gems on the way.

We’ll probably continue to see these teasers drip out. Previous teasers for 0.2.0 revealed that  Towers can spawn with mechanics that include bosses. There will also be new Ascendancy classes on the way, new Unique items, a series of endgame improvements that include new choices for the Atlas Passive skill tree, and lots more.
