Nova | Rising Sun (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

Rising Sun relies on bright pink, red and teal segments, and in Well-Worn those colours start to lose ground to bare metal on the most exposed areas. The receiver edges and the stock show clear scratches, though the blossom motif and the sun are still identifiable. It suits players who want this artwork with a used, rougher character.

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 Well-Worn

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.

Wear spreads from the edges onto the receiver panels, with bare metal showing through the pink and red segments. The stock has clear scratches along its bottom and edges. The design remains recognisable in game but looks noticeably faded. The barrel and pump show light scuffs but keep their dark tone.

What to look at before you buy

• 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 the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who still want the motif to be identifiable.
• Players who like a used, faded character on a colourful skin.
• An affordable step below the cleaner grades.
