MercilessGauntlet
Posted on 18th July, 2025Zizaran and the Path of Exile community are partnering up with Shopify Rebellion to bring you the next edition of The Gauntlet!
Set to launch on July 31st, 2025
We are back with another exciting Gauntlet! This time GGG has dialed it up another notch to bring in some new twists and turns. We would love for you guys to play the game without too much spoilering so we won't tell you everything, but there will be a New Campaign Experience, New Special Boss Abilities, and Alternate Ascendancies from Phrecia. For the first time ever, we are also proud to announce an exclusive Gauntlet MTX provided by GGG. Earn your Gauntlet MTX Gloves by joining the event and reaching at least level 2. These gloves will display the level you reached in the Gauntlet as flavour text as well. So level up your character and see if you can get to 100! You will also receive a guaranteed Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box for completing the Campaign from GGG! There will also be additional modifiers as we normally do. Of course we made Bosses even more difficult. As always, we'll be awarding players with a hoard of physical prizes, MTX raffles, and cash bounties that YOU can win! There are quite a few new changes to this Gauntlet so make sure you check it out below! Full modifiers will come at a later date as we need to work closely with GGG to balance modifiers.

Gauntlet is an in-game event where players compete and earn points by leveling characters and killing bosses to see how all of the classes fare in some of Path of Exile's most difficult encounters. To add to the challenge, Gauntlet also has added modifiers. The event will take place as a Solo Self Found Hardcore Mercenaries of Trarthus Event League.

Prizes:
Random Draw:
Leveling your characters to certain levels will enter you into the random drawings for MTX as well as MTX and physical prizes supplied by Shopify Rebellion! Each character that reaches the goal will give you another entry, so don’t delete your characters if you want to be entered for these raffles! Complete the campaign for a guaranteed Mystery Box courtesy of GGG! You will also receive the Gauntlet Glove MTX for getting at LEAST level 2 in The Gauntlet as well as a guaranteed Dawn of the Hunt Mystery Box for completing the campaign.
Public Profile Rule:
We will be requiring Public Profiles of all participants that wish to compete for the main prize pool, bounties, or flash bounties. Your profile must be continuously set to PUBLIC at the START of the event all the way to the END of the event.
Breaking any of these rules under any circumstance will immediately remove your right to win any part of the gauntlet outside of raffles. This applies to your entire account at any point in time.
Portal Limitation Rule
In order to receive Boss Kill Points you must only USE THREE OR LESS PORTALS in order to receive them. Entering a fourth portal will make your submission null. Uber bosses have this tech by default, the rest will be manually done.
