Path of Exile (POE) Update 2.12 Patch Notes 3.18.0e
This patch contains changes to Headhunter and Replica Headhunter, improvements to Apex Sentinels, as well as some other improvements and bug fixes of small and medium importance.
Headhunter changes
- The Headhunter Unique Belt now has “When you Kill a Rare Monster, you gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds” (previously 20 seconds).
- The Replica Headhunter Unique Belt now has a “20% chance when you Kill a Magic Monster to gain its Modifiers for 60 seconds” (previously 20 seconds).
- The above changes affect existing versions of these items.
- We have done a lot of work on reducing the memory usage of rare monster modifiers so that a greater variety can be present in each area. This means that the number of different mods that Headhunter items can steal is a lot higher than before.

- Sentinels can no longer drop in areas where Sentinels cannot be used, such as Unique Maps.

Other improvements and bug fixes

- Fixed a bug where Breach Commanders could be found with monster modifiers that require having Rare Minions, such as Heralding Minions.
- Fixed another case where Heralding Totems from the Heralding Minions modifier would sometimes fail to despawn.
- Fixed a bug where the Crystal Ore Map Bosses could become invulnerable when empowered by The Shaper.
