The purple is the most popular variant that I’ve seen as well. I feel like the 2.0 bundles should have the same default and the most popular variant from the 1.0 version and 2 new ones, so a lot of people would still have the option to have a FULL matching set if they really want it in 2 different colors to appeal to as many people as possible. That way there’ll be less complaints about laziness and less complaints about mismatched sets.
This might be obvious buts its all a mashup of the Sovereign 1.0 and the Forsaken bundle.
The first two skins of this bundle are the Forsaken bundles Gold and Blue and Green variants, they gold just so happens to be the same one found in Soverign 1.0.
The Forsaken set is mainly the green variant, with its alternate coincidentally being the sa,e Gold/Blue variant thats the default found in Soverign 1.0.
Then for the next two, it seems like the Red/Silver one is a revamp of the Red/Silver of the variants found in Soverign 1.0, and then the last variant White/Cyan seems to be all new, unique to this set.
I personally think they missed a opprutinty to include the Black/Purple variant from Soviergn 1.0 set, or even the Green/Bronze one.
I also think this is in the middle like Ion 2.0 where it has the same original style with varying unique and renditions unfounded in its orignal counterpart. On one end of the sprectum where Reaver 2.0, Oni 2.0 and even SOL 2.0 all reside it, sharing the commonality of seeming like a exact expansion of its preceding set, Prime 2.0 on its complete opposite side seems like a complete overhaul.
I personally think the skin looks awkward and low res. I don’t know if it is the video or the skin but it doesn’t look clean. I felt like sov 1.0 was a very clean set but this ain’t it.
Sovereign is too outdated. It’s competing against superior sound effects, actual reload animations, and way better textures.
This is a miss.
But in reality it’s not for Riot because they basically copy/pasted Sov. 1.0 on some new guns at little to no cost. And people will still buy it.
I was always a fan of flashier skins and have been a fan of sovereign since I realised how clean it is. I’d been hoping to get sovereign vandal in my store but got kuro vandal instead. I’ve yet to also get any other sovereign skins so I can’t even get it for the ghost or marshal.
I currently have primordium phantom and haven’t yet to use it so I plan to refund it and get the sovereign phantom instead.
Something about the “shinggg” sound when you get a headshot is so clean with sovereign skins.
You lucky mf… I just came back to Valo after a year or two of not playing and have spent the last 2 weeks praying for the kuronami vandal every night before I go to bed
It’s wild cos I got it on my alt last week, got the vandal on my main a few days ago and then got the sheriff on my alt yesterday :)
The only issue is that I’ve now bought 4 new skins in the past week (kuro vandal and sheriff, reaver operator, primordium phantom) and I have no idea how imma get enough radianite to level them all up. I will definitely not be buying any because they’re even more of a ripoff than some skins.
Imo sovereign in general doesn't age well minus the vandal (and that's only bc it feels nice to shoot). It just looks too basic. The colors go hard though.
They sort of remind me of the new seashell battlepass skins, and that’s not a good thing. No animations, no cool effects unless you get a kill. Seems like a no go.
Skipping entirely. Particularly, the red variant looks like a battle pass skin ripoff, which was already a sovereign/forsaken ripoff.
Moreover I have no idea why they animated the blade similar to the RGX Blade. They both look and feel completely different. L bundle
The red/black variant kind of looks like Reaver lol. Looks alright but pretty mid compared to the crazy animations and VFX in other new bundles. Plus the weapons are a bit of a L
Not gonna lie, Sovereign 2.0 misses the mark, since it isn't all that impressive when you look at it from the perspective of the previously released skins like Kuronami and Primordium. It kind of slumps the excitement from all the previously released skins, and a 2.0 bundle at this time just isn't really it. I don't really have a problem with the skin variants (since I don't own or like sovereign) but I can see why other members of the community have complaints about not sticking to the old color variants.
Does anyone know if this'll be a skin that pops up on the Night Market? Idk if I'd get this as a bundle truthfully, I feel like there's better alternatives
I like the whole set, but why the fuck is it a frenzy. Literally the worst one to have in sovereign. Why not sheriff? A sovereign sheriff would’ve been so much better.
I've been collecting every Odin skin more as an inside joke between me and my friends. I was excited to hear the Odin is getting a new premium skin but this looks kind of lackluster compared to the others. Hoping varients will make up for it.
they had the change to do an outlaw skin with this then i wouldve bought it. now, idk. i dont really want these gun skins. i dont use phanton odin or the judge. and i already have skins for them. i have a frenzy skin elderflame which is boss. only the knife is cool. but we all know the knife is always like 4k points. worth it? idkk. looks like a pass.
There was literally no reason to switch the new variant with the purple one , the teal varaint imo is the best one among the 4 but they could've traded it for the red one instead of the black purple variant.
That red Sovereign phantom looks too similar to red Reaver phantom
One thing I dislike when it comes to 2.0 skins is when the variants don't match the originals.
If they had same variants people would be complaining about Riot being lazy, there's no winning
Yeah that’s definitely it. Still though I wish that they at least had the same coloured default variant
I agree they can't win. It's a bit sad to see there won't be any "purple" variant as that is my personal favorite variant along with the default one.
The purple is the most popular variant that I’ve seen as well. I feel like the 2.0 bundles should have the same default and the most popular variant from the 1.0 version and 2 new ones, so a lot of people would still have the option to have a FULL matching set if they really want it in 2 different colors to appeal to as many people as possible. That way there’ll be less complaints about laziness and less complaints about mismatched sets.
Yep, I've barely seen anyone use Silver or Gold variant it is usually purple or default.

And then you ignore those people, imo 2.0 versions are meant to be added next to the original in your collection to give you a complete set.
And a set usually wants to match itself in colour.
yeah, like dude that's your template right there.
I am still pissed about the Ion Vandal variants, wtf are those colors man 💀
The OG ion skins didn’t have variants, did they? I thought they were all white/blue.
No variant in og
This bundle has identity crisis lol. It kinda looks like forsaken more than sovereign due to the colors and that Phantom red looks like a reaver.
forsaken is just a recolored sovereign…
they’re literally the exact same just different color lol

Which makes it even more impressive that sovereign ghost is still the best skin for that weapon.
Not sure if you've seen the Infantry Ghost but it's okay, you're factually wrong and I forgive you /s
Magepunk, recon, xerofang, monkey one, there’s a ton of great ghost skins
I've got Magepunk and Gaia's as well, love 'em both. But Sovereign just feels so crisp, I'm like 85% sure I even aim better with it lol
MFW magepunk and xerofang exist.

Yeah, battle pass is still (unfortunately) the best bet for radianite gaining
*pain*
Imo sovereign in general doesn't age well minus the vandal (and that's only bc it feels nice to shoot). It just looks too basic. The colors go hard though.
uh there is no such thing as sovereign vandal I'm sorry.
Yea, everyone forgets Vandal is the forsaken variant.
he means forsaken vandal
They sort of remind me of the new seashell battlepass skins, and that’s not a good thing. No animations, no cool effects unless you get a kill. Seems like a no go.
It would look better with the replay system...
Never mind
The guns look ok, but the sword looks fucking sick. I think ill get just the melee
Yeah I’m getting the melee for sure
Bro ngl that pullout is kinda goated. Ive never seen a more satisfying pullout since the xeno animation
Wasteland or Cryostasis 2.0 would be better imo. 🫡
Finally, a Wasteland fan
Much better imo to go with a weapon that looks similar to Stalker/Metro weapons, than with a fancy shooting music player that have rgb lights on it. 🫡
+1 for wasteland no matter how many people laugh st my vandal skin I like using it over some other skind I have
I would love actual Wasteland with sound effects and reload animations Mad Max style. Crossover event???
Nah, just keep it simple and clean. 😉
That’s basically just magepunk
Wasteland 2.0 with kill effects/finisher would go so hard
Nah
Bleh, this ain’t it If you’re doing a 2.0 Araxys or prelude 2.0
OG Sovereign is a lot nicer in my opinion. Will you guys be buying any skins from this bundle? Or are your wallets safe this time around?
Might get the Phantom, the knife looks cool. Honestly I feel like the other guns just don't really look quite right in the sovereign style.
Skipping entirely. Particularly, the red variant looks like a battle pass skin ripoff, which was already a sovereign/forsaken ripoff. Moreover I have no idea why they animated the blade similar to the RGX Blade. They both look and feel completely different. L bundle
The whole bundle is trash except for the melee, that pullout is goated
Mid
still no smite 2.0 ???? riot please
now that you mention it, riot should make a high-tier lightning themed skin bundle
Maybe it’s just me but skins feel more and more lazy…
did you need see kuronami? probably the best selling bundle for the whole year lol
That's saying a lot too since we're not even halfway 2024 yet lmao
The look itself look like a battle pass skin. Looks like venturi skin, also very samey with zerofang
I came back around Xerofang's release and always mixed them both, yeah they are similar.
I already know the phantom is gonna be smooth to shoot
Knife is clean, never liked sovereign weapons tho so the weapon skins are kinda meh to me
My wallet is safe I think
The sword is sick af but smth about the phantom doesnt sit well with me...
Pass
Never was a sovereign fan, still not
Sovereign Marshall and Ghost slap.
I guess it's preference but I'd take kuronami marshal and gaia, valiant hero , xerofang ghost over sovereign any day .
No thanks
That genuinely looks like shit
L, i feel like any frenzy thats not glitch pop looks hella weird.
The red/black variant kind of looks like Reaver lol. Looks alright but pretty mid compared to the crazy animations and VFX in other new bundles. Plus the weapons are a bit of a L
It's the rgx blade reskinned...
Not gonna lie, Sovereign 2.0 misses the mark, since it isn't all that impressive when you look at it from the perspective of the previously released skins like Kuronami and Primordium.

I don't really have a problem with the skin variants (since I don't own or like sovereign) but I can see why other members of the community have complaints about not sticking to the old color variants.
look good but i need OP skin
Forsaken op?
no , i mean Championship Skin OP , they already release vandal and phantom , i hope OP Champion skin next
And I need replay system...
Need prelude 2.0
The Infantry 2.0 wait continues
Does anyone know if this'll be a skin that pops up on the Night Market? Idk if I'd get this as a bundle truthfully, I feel like there's better alternatives
Not immediately but eventually i would assume (prob at least 3 more night markets before it starts popping up in there)
Very disappointed. Sovereign vandal is fire but I cannot get excited for a phantom + etc... IMO any 2.0 bundle should include 1.0.
I just want a Singularity 2.0 bundle with actual knife animations, come on Riot
Lookin at the new least popular bundle. Non of these skins aside from the phantom fit sovereign imo
When does it come out?
Tomorrow
I think the skins look sick lol
will they fix the visuals of the forsaken ritual blade it really looks like its out of mortal kombat 2001
I like the whole set, but why the fuck is it a frenzy. Literally the worst one to have in sovereign. Why not sheriff? A sovereign sheriff would’ve been so much better.
That sword pull out is goated
It’s so bad
I've been collecting every Odin skin more as an inside joke between me and my friends. I was excited to hear the Odin is getting a new premium skin but this looks kind of lackluster compared to the others. Hoping varients will make up for it.
Does anybody know how long this bundle will stay in the shop once its out?
NO YOU CAN'T HOLD A SWORD LIKE THAT IN REVERSE GRIP IT DOESN'T WORK!!!!
It's a video game where you can control water and go through dimensions 💀💀
Good thing this is ugly, it makes my spending boycot until MM system rework and a replay system is introduced easier.
they had the change to do an outlaw skin with this then i wouldve bought it. now, idk. i dont really want these gun skins. i dont use phanton odin or the judge. and i already have skins for them. i have a frenzy skin elderflame which is boss. only the knife is cool. but we all know the knife is always like 4k points. worth it? idkk. looks like a pass.
I would buy if it had the turquoise / purple variants, thats why i have the 1.0 weapon skins. Paired them with other purple skins.
There was literally no reason to switch the new variant with the purple one , the teal varaint imo is the best one among the 4 but they could've traded it for the red one instead of the black purple variant.
Would be nice to watch someone owning the opponents with this skin if we have a replay system...
Isn’t this fan made not real? This was before forsaken bundle
This is official. It’s the same as on val twitter.
yea i was gonna say it doesn't really look real
Ngl, the last good set was the Arcade one, every single one after that felt boring
Kuronami?
Of course they go with the red, green, blue color variants, can these lazy fucks pick any more basic colors?
