Nova | Exo (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Exo pairs a purple patterned base with silver panels for a cold, technical look. Well-Worn copies show dulled metal and visible rubbing on edges and raised areas, which gives the shotgun a used, working feel. The overall colour scheme remains readable in play.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The receiver and barrel are covered in dark grey-green metallic panels crossed by curved purple stripes. The ribbed pump forend is finished in silver, which makes it the brightest part of the gun.

The silver areas look dull and worn edges are visible on the forend, muzzle and stock. Rubbing starts to reach the raised parts of the receiver as well. In game the gun reads darker and less contrasting, though the purple-and-silver scheme is still recognisable. The central flat surfaces keep most of the pattern.

Well-Worn wear: float 0.38–0.45

The float of Nova | Exo ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Well-Worn quality covers 0.38–0.45 — 14% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Which stickers suit it

Purple, silver and holographic stickers match the skin's colour scheme well. Dark or black designs blend with the panels for a quiet look, while placing stickers on the receiver keeps them visible next to the silver forend.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end look noticeably better.
• Look at the silver forend and the muzzle first, as they show wear before the rest of the gun.
• Inspect the stock corners for rubbing on more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the gun looks and what you are paying for.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who like a used, working look on their shotgun.
• Budget buyers who still want the colour scheme recognisable.
• A fair option for those who value function over shine.
