Souvenir Nova | Forest Leaves (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Forest Leaves turns the Nova into a field shotgun in muted greens with blurred leaf stencils over the body. In Field-Tested the paint starts to break on the muzzle, the ribs of the pump and the receiver edges, which fits the improvised spray-paint look. The camouflage still reads as a whole from a normal viewing distance.

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, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.

Appearance in Field-Tested

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.

Wear becomes visible on the muzzle, along the pump ribs and on the receiver edges, where small areas of dark metal show through. The lower edge of the stock starts to lose paint. The central parts of the receiver and stock still keep a readable leaf pattern. In game the weapon looks used but the camouflage is clearly recognisable.

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 check before buying

• 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 Field-Tested

• Players who want a camouflage Nova that looks used but still keeps its pattern.
• Buyers who like light wear that fits the spray-paint style.
• Conclusion: a balanced choice between condition and character.
