Nova | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Hyper Beast on the Nova is built around a wild, many-coloured creature that wraps the receiver and stock in neon tones. In Field-Tested scuffs start to show on the barrel, pump and edges of the stock, yet the bright palette still dominates the model. For most players this grade keeps the recognisable look while the price of cleanliness drops.

Item type: shotgun. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The barrel is mostly dark grey with neon green and pink streaks running toward the receiver, while the muzzle stays dark. The receiver carries the densest part of the artwork, with magenta, red and green shapes forming the beast's body.

Scuffs spread along the barrel, the pump and the top edge of the receiver. Light wear starts on the edges of the stock. At normal distance the neon palette still reads clearly, with only some fine detail lost. The centre of the receiver and the main surface of the stock stay mostly clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the low end look noticeably cleaner on the pump and muzzle.
• Look at the top edge of the receiver and the pump, as these lose paint first.

• Decide between the regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions before comparing offers.
