Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about using Path of Hideouts.

How do I import a downloaded hideout into Path of Exile?

Importing is simple! Download the .hideout file, enter the matching base in-game, and click Import inside the in-game hideout menu. For a complete step-by-step walkthrough with file paths, check out our full How to Import Guide.


How does the "My MTX Only" filter work?

Log in and visit your Manage MTX Inventory page to select the Supporter Packs, event rewards, and store microtransactions you own. Enabling "My MTX Only" on the home feed hides any layout requiring premium assets missing from your inventory.


What are Variant Collections?

Variant Collections let creators group alternate versions of a design (such as an MTX-free version or a different map device layout) under one main parent hideout. You can switch between variants seamlessly using the variant picker on any hideout page.


Does the site support Path of Exile 2?

Yes! Path of Hideouts supports both Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2. You can filter the main feed by game version or toggle game engine badges on any card.


What are the rules regarding NSFW or suggestive content?

Suggestive or "fanservice" layouts must be tagged as NSFW during upload. Explicit nudity or illegal content is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate permanent ban.


How do I report broken files, stolen work, or offensive content?

Click the Report button on any hideout page or comment card to submit a report directly to our moderation queue. Original creators can link their original post when reporting stolen work.
