Skin overview
Nova | Candy Apple pairs a red stock and receiver with a dark barrel and ribbed pump, a scheme that stays recognisable even when the paint is worn. Field-Tested is the most worn grade this skin comes in, so chipping on the red parts becomes noticeable on close inspection. The two-tone silhouette still holds up clearly in game.
Item type: shotgun. Industrial Grade is the second tier from the bottom: common skins from drops and collections.
Solid Color: a single colour without a pattern; wear dulls it evenly and rubs it off along the edges.
The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New and Minimal Wear.
How the skin looks in Field-Tested
The receiver, stock and front sight are painted solid bright red, while the barrel, magazine tube and ribbed pump forend stay dark gunmetal. The stock carries a ribbed grip section, also in red, and the trigger guard area is dark.
Chipping becomes visible along the stock edges, the butt, the grip ribs and the edges of the receiver, with dark metal showing through the red. Larger flat areas of red are still mostly covered. The dark barrel and pump hide wear well and look tidy. In game the red and black split remains clear, though up close the paint looks used.
Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.3
The float of Souvenir Nova | Candy Apple ranges from 0 to 0.3; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.3 — 50% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Souvenir version
This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.
Which stickers suit it
Black, white and red stickers keep the clean two-tone scheme intact. Placing them on the dark barrel gives better contrast than on the red receiver, where red stickers would blend in.
What to look at before you buy
- Check where the float sits within the wear grade, since a flat solid colour shows every chip.
- Look at the stock edges, butt and grip ribs, which lose paint first.
- Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so check whether they fit the look you want.
- Note any name tag, as it stays visible next to such a plain finish.
Who the Field-Tested quality suits
- Budget players who mainly care about the in-game silhouette.
- Those who do not mind visible chips on the stock.
