Rogue Exiles Are Coming to PoE2: And They Fight Like Real Players

Path of Exile 2’s world is already dangerous, but starting April 4, it is about to get way more personal. In the Dawn of the Hunt update, GGG is adding Rogue Exiles: Hostile NPCs that do not just fight like monsters, but like actual players.

These are not your usual enemies. Rogue Exiles will:

• Use real player skills and gear; not just wear them for looks
• Dodge, roll, and reposition with smart pathfinding
• Target you intelligently like a PvP opponent
• Come in 12 different personalities; some will trash talk, others might admire your strength

Each Rogue Exile has its own playstyle, and some of them wear actual Unique items like Kaom’s Heart, making the fights even tougher.

The best part? Everything they wear can drop! So if you manage to defeat one, the loot is all yours.

GGG (Grinding Gear Games) confirmed that this system is supposed to make you feel like you are fighting another real exile. Expect a true duel every time you meet one!
