On November 9, the first episode of the second season of the popular anime Arcane, created by Riot Games, was released. The company decided to celebrate this event with its community and released the Valorant Arcane bundle, inspired by the world of the series based on League of Legends. Even before its release, the collection attracted significant attention from players, helped by Riot Games teasing it with hints on social media. We will discuss all the reasons why it's worth buying the new collection.

What’s Included in the Arcane Collector’s Set?
The company put more effort into this new collection in honor of the animated series than the previous one. This set includes two skins, one of which is a unique knife, while the previous one only had the Sheriff with one upgrade level.
The Arcane bundle Valorant includes:
- Arcane Vandal - 2,175 VP
- Arcane Gauntlets - 4,350 VP
- Blah Spray - 325 VP
- Arcane Sister’s Card - 375 VP
- Arcane Enforcer Buddy - 475 VP
The entire set costs 7,700 Valorant Points, but if you buy the whole bundle, you save over 20%, or 1,775 Valorant Points. If you’re only interested in the Vandal, you might consider purchasing just that, but if you want the Arcane Gauntlets, it's worth paying an additional 1,575 VP to get the Vandal and other items from the Valorant Arcane 2.0.

Comparison with the First Arcane Collection
The Sheriff from the first Arcane set became iconic and desirable for most Valorant players, obtainable only by purchasing an account. The developers worked even harder on the second set.
- Expanded Set: The first collection focused only on one weapon – the Sheriff, while the second part includes skins for the Vandal, the game’s most popular weapon, and gloves, which serve as a melee weapon skin. This makes the second collection more appealing, as you can enjoy the skins in every game with primary weapons.
- New Visual Effects and Animations: The new Arcane collection has new visual effects and sounds. The Vandal can be upgraded to the fourth level, unlocking animations, sounds, and a finisher, while the Sheriff only had one upgrade level and was loved by fans for its unique animation.
- Price: The bundle price has significantly increased for good reasons. The previous collection included only the Sheriff and other cosmetics like a charm, player card, and title, while this one also includes gloves, which make up the bundle's main price.
Is it Worth Buying the Arcane 2.0 Bundle Valorant?
Let's analyze the pros and cons of the collection and conclude if it’s worth its price.
Advantages of the Arcane Collection
- Unique Design: The second Arcane collection continues the tradition of a vibrant and detailed style that makes you stand out among other players, and the animations bring new color to the gameplay.
- Exclusivity: The bundle is only available for a month, with sales starting on November 8. Once it’s removed from the in-game store, it will be impossible to buy it in full or in parts.
- History: For Arcane fans, purchasing the collection is a way to show loyalty to one of their favorite animated series and its characters.
- Value Over Time: The limited availability of the second collection makes it rarer and more valuable in the long term for Valorant collectors. The price for a game account with Arcane Sheriff on the European server starts from $125 and can reach several thousand USD.
- Price: The entire bundle costs less than 6,000 Valorant Points, making it a great value for an exclusive collection.
Disadvantages of the Arcane Collection
- Knife: Although the gloves are an item associated with the main character of the eponymous series, in-game they appear quite large, and their drawing and striking animations are not as iconic as Butterfly, Karambit, and other knives.
- Buddy: To fully unlock the collection’s potential, you need the Sheriff as well, as attaching the buddy to both the Vandal and Sheriff from the Arcane collection will display a blue mark. Although minor, this could be a drawback for those who don’t have the Sheriff, and purchasing it is no longer possible.
Verdict
Considering the minor downsides, we can confidently recommend purchasing this bundle. The items in the Arcane Collection possess all the hallmarks of collectibles — unique design, limited access, and high exclusivity. If you’re a big fan of the Arcane series and are willing to spend on visual enhancements in Valorant, this collection could be a great choice for you. In particular, the new skins for popular weapon types will make your gameplay even more vivid.
However, if you’re not a fan of the series and are cautious about investing in cosmetic items, the Arcane Collection may seem slightly overpriced. Skip this bundle and wait for a new one with items that might suit your tastes and allow you to fully enjoy your investment.
