In Path of Exile 2, there is precious equipment that is popular with millions of players and can greatly improve the player’s gaming experience, which is a heavy belt-Headhunter. In POE 2, players can enhance the character’s strength and unlock game levels by searching, collecting and selling loot.
Although players can use the collected items to pass the level according to the requirements of the level, some players still have a deep love for many highly practical meta-builds and items with special bonuses.
Headhunter has become one of the powerful equipments that is deeply loved by players with its numerical bonus and the function of introducing special mechanisms to the gameplay. As long as you have played Path of Exile 2 for a while, you probably already know it. But then again, how can players get it in the game? What special can players do with it after getting it?
The Effectiveness Of Headhunter
Headhunter is permanent ultimate equipment in Path Of Exile 1. Even though its properties have been weakened in the current sequel, it is still a very popular super equipment.
It will randomly bring three bonuses to the player, namely a certain amount of strength bonus, agility bonus and health. The most exciting thing is that you can get the attribute bonus of a rare monster for up to 20 seconds by defeating it with a headhunter. And if you want to increase your Sun Threshold or get a one charm slot, you can do it by equipping Headhunter.
In addition, Headhunter can also provide players with a variety of other buffs, among which the most popular among players may be some buffs to monster attributes. Because after your monster attributes are increased, although your challenge will become more difficult, the quality of the loot you get in the end is better, which is more convenient for directly modifying the modifiers of the gear in the build.
The unpredictable game style created by Headhunter requires players to keep acquiring new attributes and completely consume them until the end. This feature makes it very suitable for late-stage builds such as mapping.
How To Get Headhunter?
What makes many players frustrated is that Headhunter, like other loot in PoE 2, is completely random. It is not clear which enemies will provide it, but I can give you some methods with a high probability. You can obtain it through Currency Exchange using Path Of Exile 2 Currency.
Or you can also increase the chance of finding Headhunter in the late refresh of Cruel difficulty, which usually drops randomly from enemies above level 50.
Orb Of Chance
If you are lucky, you may get Headhunter through Orb Of Chance, because it can upgrade your ordinary equipment to rare equipment, so you can only increase the probability of successfully upgrading Headhunter by farming Orbs of Chance, but it is still not guaranteed to get Headhunter just by using Orb Of Chance on a normal heavy belt.
Either you disassemble unusable or duplicate special items into Chance Shards and combine them into Orbs of Chance, or you can only get Orbs of Chance by completing maps. I recommend completing high-level maps to maximize your number, as there is no clear way to farm these rare materials.
Trials Of Chaos
You have a higher chance of finding Headhunter after completing Trials of Chaos, which are high-level dungeons that require you to use Inscribed Ultimatums to unlock them. However, it should be noted that these keys are difficult to obtain and have multiple levels of challenges, so spend as much POE 2 Currency as possible to upgrade some of the gear in your build.
This is one of the risky but effective ways to find Headhunter. Many loot in Trials of Chaos usually has special modifiers due to corruption, which can completely change the properties of the item: they have both advantages and disadvantages. Since corrupted gear cannot be restored to its original state or modified, you should make good use of the loot you currently have, such as the Headhunter.
Market
Finally, if none of the above methods can get Headhunter, you can also get Headhunter from player-to-player trade. As of now, Headhunter requires about thousands of POE 2 Divine Orbs, or thousands of Exalted Orbs, or a Mirror of Kalandra.
Headhunter is hard to come by, but its powerful functions make it worthwhile. If you can get Headhunter, your Path of Exile 2 game journey will be more colorful, so I suggest you try your best to get Headhunter.
