Last Epoch Loot Filters, explained

Loot Filters in Last Epoch help you sort through item drops from monsters before picking them up. They don’t let you pick up drops automatically—they simply let you highlight items you care about, or hide the ones you don’t want. Here’s how to use Loot Filters in Last Epoch.

What are Loot Filters in Last Epoch?

Loot Filters in Last Epoch are a built-in game feature that changes which item drops you see on the ground. You can customize these filters in depth, using logic to specify which items you want to appear after they drop from enemies. The goal is to ensure you never miss valuable items while automatically hiding items with low value.

Loot Filters perform three main actions on dropped items:

• Hide items: This action makes filtered items impossible to pick up, hides their names, but still shows their color indicator on the ground, as illustrated in this article’s featured image.
• Show items: This action ensures specific items appear even if a filter would normally hide them. For example, if you set a filter to hide all bows but add a “Show all Unique items” filter, Unique bows will still appear on the floor while other bows remain hidden.
• Recolor items: This changes the color of item names to any color of your choosing. Players often use this option to highlight items that wouldn’t normally have a special color, like standard items with significant Affixes.

You can get very detailed with Loot Filters. You have the option to use any of the actions mentioned above based on criteria like item type, subtype, rarity, level, your character’s class and level, and specific item Affixes. For example, you can recolor Two-Handed Axes for characters level 20 or higher that have the Critical Strike Avoidance affix only, if you’re looking for an item that meets those criteria.
