Souvenir Nova | Exo (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

Exo turns the Nova into a panelled shotgun, with cool silver plates over a purple striped base. Minimal Wear keeps that contrast almost untouched, and any marks sit on small edges that are hard to spot in a match. This grade suits a buyer who wants a near-clean copy without paying for the top condition.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

How the skin looks in Minimal Wear

The receiver and barrel are covered in dark grey-green metallic panels crossed by curved purple stripes. The ribbed pump forend is finished in silver, which makes it the brightest part of the gun.

Small marks may appear on the muzzle and the edges of the forend. They are visible only up close in the inspect view. In a match the gun looks practically the same as Factory New. The stock, receiver and pattern stay clean.

Minimal Wear wear: float 0.07–0.15

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

Purple, silver and holographic stickers match the skin's colour scheme well. Dark or black designs blend with the panels for a quiet look, while placing stickers on the receiver keeps them visible next to the silver forend.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end look noticeably better.
• Look at the silver forend and the muzzle first, as they show wear before the rest of the gun.
• Inspect the stock corners for rubbing on more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the gun looks and what you are paying for.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean Nova and do not need perfection.
• Sticker crafters looking for a clean base at a lower grade.
• A sensible balance between look and cost.
