Souvenir Nova | Forest Leaves (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

Forest Leaves in Battle-Scarred is the most weathered version of this olive and leaf-stencil camouflage. Large patches of paint are gone from the barrel, the pump grip and the receiver, leaving bare dark metal between faded green areas. The look is rough and worn-out, which suits the simple spray-paint origin of the design.

Item type: shotgun. Consumer Grade is the lowest tier of the rarity scale: the most common skins, most often used in trade-up contracts.

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

The remaining qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn.

Appearance in Battle-Scarred

The base colour is olive green, with darker brown-green leaf shapes sprayed over it in a loose, overlapping pattern. The receiver and the ribbed pump grip carry the densest part of the camouflage, while the long barrel stays a darker olive with only faint traces of the stencil.

Large areas of paint are gone from the barrel, pump and receiver, with dark metal dominating those parts. The stock is heavily scuffed and the leaf stencil survives only in fragments. In game the weapon reads as dark and weathered with faded green patches. Little of the original camouflage remains crisp anywhere.

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.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in olive, brown, gold or muted black blend well with the woodland camouflage. Placements on the receiver look most natural, since it carries the densest part of the leaf pattern. Bright saturated colours tend to clash with the subdued palette.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the grade, since the finish starts close to the top of Factory New and those copies cover only a narrow band.
• Look at the muzzle and the pump ribs first, because they lose paint before the rest of the weapon.
• Souvenir copies come with fixed stickers, so check that their colours work with the olive camouflage.
• Make sure any name tag or applied stickers suit the item if you plan to keep it as is.

Who should buy Battle-Scarred

• Budget players looking for the cheapest entry into this skin.
• Fans of heavily worn, dark-metal looks on simple camouflage.
• Conclusion: the most weathered version, chosen for its battered character.
