There are 26 Unique Gloves in Path of Exile 2 so far, and some of them provide build-defining traits. Like with any other gear slot, Unique Gloves often provide less implicit Armor, Evasion, or Energy Shield than what you would get out of a well-crafted Rare. Their main draw, instead, is the sometimes gimmicky benefits they provide.
These range from things that Keystone Passives can do to unique interactions you cannot replicate with anything else. For example, many Frost Sorceress build users switched to using Fire spells with the Blueflame Bracers after a few nerfs in the first week of Path of Exile 2 Early Access.
In this guide, we'll list out all the Unique-rarity Gloves that you can currently get in Path of Exile 2.
All Path of Exile 2 Unique Gloves, explained
Following are all the Unique Gloves available in Path of Exile 2. Other than direct monster drops, these can also be crafted by using the Orb of Chance on the right base item.
For your (highly RNG-based) item-crafting convenience, we have included the base items for each of these Unique Gloves. You'll need to get a white-rarity copy of that base item and then slam the Orb of Chance on it.
