Souvenir Nova | Forest Leaves (Factory New)

Skin overview

Nova | Forest Leaves is a Consumer Grade finish that covers the shotgun in olive green with darker leaf shapes sprayed through stencils. In Factory New the stencil edges are crisp and the muted greens look even across the whole weapon. The float range starts just below the top of this grade, so Factory New copies sit in a narrow band.

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: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Factory New

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.

The paint covers every part of the weapon with no visible damage. Leaf stencils on the receiver, pump and stock have clean, sharp edges. The barrel and muzzle keep their full olive tint. In game the camouflage reads as a uniform, intact coat.

Factory New quality — float range 0.06–0.07

The float of Souvenir Nova | Forest Leaves ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Factory New quality covers 0.06–0.07 — 1% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Where the skin comes from: collection and case

Souvenir Nova | Forest Leaves belongs to The Aztec Collection, which holds 6 skins. It does not drop from a case: the collection has none — such skins come from operation drops, souvenir packages or the market.

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 the Factory New quality suits

• Collectors who want the cleanest possible version of this finish.
• Players building a sticker craft that needs an even, undamaged base.
• Conclusion: the pick for a pristine look, with a narrow choice of copies.
