Hideouts are special town-like areas that act as a player's personal hub in the Endgame. NPCs can be invited to your hideout to perform the same functions they do in towns. Hideouts also contain a Map Device which becomes usable once the player reaches Endgame for the first time in a league. Hideouts can be first unlocked in Act 4 after completing Singing Caverns.
Speaking to Alva in the Ziggurat Refuge or in your hideout allows you to swap to a different hideout if you have more than one unlocked.
Mechanics
Monsters cannot appear in claimed hideouts. Unlike in towns, it is possible to use your skills. It is possible to visit other player's hideouts to play in a party or to trade.
Shoreline Hideout can be unlocked by completing the quest Hostile Takeover in Act 4.
Map hideouts can be unlocked by completing the corresponding map on the Atlas. Microtransaction hideouts can be accessed earlier, but require a purchase from the microtransaction store. Once any hideout is unlocked, it can be accessed by any of your characters in that league after first reaching Clearfell Encampment in Act 1.
/hideout can be entered as a chat message to automatically teleport to your hideout while in any town area.
