Hideouts are personal spacesfor players inPath of Exile 2that can be customized to their unique preferences, unlike anything else in the game. Whether it’s different decorations, the placement of vendor NPCs, or the layout of the Hideout itself, everything can be changed.
As an added benefit, players can create and share their Hideout templates with each other through a certain third-party website, which can, in turn, be used by any other player who likes them. This process is called importing a Hideout, and it’s fairly simple to get a hang of. Here’s the rundown.
