The Smite 2.0 collection is now available in VALORANT. Players waited over four years for the release of its second part. In this article, we’ll explore how a meme became reality, what the Smite 2.0 bundle VALORANT includes, how much it costs, and whether it’s actually worth buying.
Background
The original Smite skins were always “an acquired taste”: cheap, flashy, with lightning-blue visuals and no effects. They looked like they were thrown together quickly, and instead of a unique melee, there was just a basic knife with the same design. That made the bundle one of VALORANT’s biggest memes. The community jokingly asked for a sequel — and Riot listened. Fittingly, Smite 2.0 release date is April 1st — April Fool’s Day.
What Smite 2.0 Looks Like and What’s Included
Smite 2.0 retains the style of the original: dark blue like a stormy twilight sky, with lightning bolts striking through the barrel. The closer to the center, the brighter the shade of blue. Like the first version, the collection is Select-tier, the lowest in VALORANT. That means:
- No animations
- No visual effects
- No unique sounds
- Just a simple reskin of default weapons
Item | Price (VP) |
Full collection | Not available — each item sold separately |
Individual skin | 875 VP |
Melee (Smite Hammer) | 1,750 VP |
The only unique touch in Smite is a rare gold variant that can randomly appear in-game — more of an Easter egg than a feature. You can see what smite 2.0 VALORANT gold looks like in this lucky player’s video:
In-Game Appearance
There’s not much to analyze — the skins are nearly identical to the originals. However, to get a better idea of how they look in action, you can check the video below:
How to Buy and Can You Save?
Smite 2.0 wasn’t released as a traditional bundle like other recent collections. All the skins and the hammer were added to the regular daily store rotation. Since individual skins cost only 875 VP and the Smite 2.0 knife VALORANT price is 1,750 VP, they can appear in the Night Market — with discounts of up to 49%.
Smite 2.0 isn’t a rework — it’s a copy of the original with new weapon models. No upgrades, no finishers, but the same iconic lightning design at a budget price. Still, the community welcomed its return with nostalgia and humor. Most likely, no one’s buying this collection seriously — it’s more of a joke or a collectible memento.
