Nova | Plume (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Nova | Plume is easy to recognise by its layered brown feathers that run along the pump, receiver and stock. In Field-Tested the pattern is still clear, but scuffs appear on the pump ridges, the barrel and the edges of the receiver. The soft, earthy palette hides this wear well, so the gun still reads as a feathered wooden shotgun from a distance.

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

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 receiver is covered with overlapping brown feathers with fine light edges and faint cool accents between them. The pump carries long ribbed feather vanes in copper with cream streaks, and the magazine tube end repeats the copper and cream rings.

Scuffs spread along the barrel near the muzzle and across the pump ridges, and light wear appears on the top edges of the receiver. The feather lines on the pump lose some of their cream detail. The stock is mostly clean, with only the lower edge touched. In game the pattern still reads clearly thanks to the warm, dark palette.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in brown, gold, copper or cream match the feather artwork, and holo or gold variants echo the light highlights. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the pump feathers visible, and nature or bird motifs fit the theme.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low floats in Field-Tested keep the pump noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle and the pump ridges first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the gun.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as bright colours can clash with the earthy palette.
• If you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, confirm the type in the item name before buying.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the full theme in game and do not inspect up close.
• Buyers looking for a balance between look and cost.
• Conclusion: the most practical grade for everyday play.
