Nova | Rising Sun (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This Nova stands out through its contrast: a plain dark front half and a receiver and stock filled with blossoms and a rising sun. In Field-Tested the colour panels still carry the design, while scuffs appear along the receiver edges and the lower stock. From a normal viewing distance the stained glass look remains clear and recognisable.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The barrel is left in dark gunmetal with a silver front cap, and the ribbed pump is also dark with a cool grey sheen. The receiver carries the main artwork: pale pink and white blossoms, red accents and small decorative markings, divided into stained glass segments by dark outlines.

Scuffs become visible along the receiver edges, around the trigger area and on the lower part of the stock. Some smaller details on the receiver start to soften. The blossom and sun motif still reads clearly in game. The centre of the stock artwork and the dark barrel stay mostly clean.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the receiver edges and stock change noticeably between low and high values.
• Inspect the bottom and edges of the stock, as they lose paint first.
• Look at the small markings on the receiver to judge how crisp the artwork still is.
• Note any stickers or name tag and whether they suit the pink and red artwork.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who want the recognisable Rising Sun look in regular matches.
• Buyers comfortable with edge wear in exchange for a lower cost.
• A practical everyday option.
