Path of Exile News

Path of Exile's latest expansion, Sentinel, is out now on PC and macOS. The expansion kicks off a new Challenge League in the free PC game, in which the central mechanic is customisable sentinel orbs that follow you around firing magic beams at your enemies. But sentinels aren't here to make your life easier - just the opposite, in fact. Their beams empower monsters and create tougher fights for you to take on.

In the Sentinels Challenge League, you'll find three classes of sentinel scattered around Wraeclast. Stalker sentinels will repeatedly fire monster-empowering beams once you enter combat. Pandemonium sentinels fire one big blast, empowering monsters in a large area. Then there's apex sentinels, which will only charge up rare or unique enemies.

Sentinels only work for a limited time and eventually run out of charge, but you don't want to throw away your empties. Depleted sentinels can be combined with a power core to create a new, fully charged sentinel that takes on traits from each sentinel husk used in its construction. You can further tweak the behaviour of your sentinels with the Sentinel Controller, which Grinding Gear Games says is "like a runic circuit board."

• The Uber Searing Exarch
  
• The Uber Maven
  
• Uber Sirus
  
• Uber Venarius
  
• Uber Uber Elder
  
• Uber Shaper
  

• 1st-7th Place: Collaborate on the design of a Unique Item that will drop from one of the Uber Pinnacle Encounters of your choice, and collaborate on the design of a Divination Card.
  

• 1st Place: Collaborate on the design of a Divination Card, and receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
  
• 2nd-5th Place: Receive a Godslayer's Pride microtransaction.
  

• If there are operational problems with the event (like significant realm stability issues at launch), Grinding Gear Games may restart the event at any point. The way we will do this is to create a new event league and indicate that players who wish to compete in the new event must make new characters there.
  
• Players who migrate from a private league to the event league during the event are ineligible for prizes.
  
• Placings and prize eligibility are entirely at the discretion of Grinding Gear Games.
  
• The prizes that consist of collaborating on the design of a Divination Card or Unique Item do not guarantee that the item will turn out exactly how you want. The design team will try to accommodate your suggestions as best as they can, but the final design is at their discretion. Because these Unique Items are likely to become chase content, it's critical that they fit the overall design vision of Path of Exile.
  
• While the event being SSF reduces a lot of scope for outside help, any form of account sharing (or other breaches of the Terms of Use) will disqualify a player from receiving prizes.
  
• Grinding Gear Games Employees (past or present) are not eligible for prizes.
  
• Players who have played on the Alpha realm since May 5, 2022 (when the expansion was first deployed) are not eligible for prizes.
  
• Dying or migrating your character out of the league doesn't remove prize eligibility as long as the kill occurred while in the league.
  
• Prizes cannot be transferred. Only the person who completed the achievements in the event can collaborate on Unique Item and Divination Card designs. It's fine for these people to seek advice and help from other community members with their design.
