RaptureGauntlet

Zizaran 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 April 8th, 2026

We are back with another exciting Gauntlet! We have a bunch of changes coming your way including a format change from 10 days to 7 days. GGG has given us a new atlas endgame with Mirage, and for the first time Uber Incarnations will be included in the event. To accommodate the 7 day format we have made a few changes below to Boss Kill Points along with a few other systems. As always The Gauntlet will have custom modifiers, some of which are tweaked below to give you a more challenging experience. Including something special. Act Bosses and Endgame Bosses will now inflict Ruin with some of their abilities. If you get to seven Ruin your character will die. We will also be using an all new ladder for Gauntlet supplied by Rasmuskl of poe.ninja. Please give it a peep and feel free to provide feedback in the Racing Discord. Mirage has also created a few extremely powerful Exceptional Support Gems. In the interest of entertainment and fairness, Transfusion Support and Minion Pact Support have been disabled. Good luck in the Rapture Gauntlet!
