Souvenir Nova | Ghost Camo (Factory New)

Skin overview

Nova | Ghost Camo covers the shotgun in an oversized camouflage of muted brick red, dark navy and pale grey. In Factory New the large blotches keep sharp edges and the colours look even across the whole weapon. This is the grade for a buyer who wants the pattern exactly as intended, with no chips anywhere.

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

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

Other qualities of this skin: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Factory New

The barrel and magazine tube are dark with a reddish tint, carrying the camouflage in long stretched patches. The pump forend shows pale grey and white stripes across its ribs, which makes it the lightest part of the weapon.

The paint is complete on every part, including the muzzle and the ribs of the forend. The borders between red, navy and grey patches are crisp. At normal distance the weapon looks fresh and evenly coloured. Nothing on the Nova shows bare metal.

Factory New quality — float range 0–0.07

The whole float range of Souvenir Nova | Ghost Camo is 0–0.4; Factory New takes the 0–0.07 segment (18% of the scale). Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Origin of the skin

Souvenir Nova | Ghost Camo belongs to The eSports 2013 Winter Collection, which holds 12 skins.

It drops from eSports 2013 Winter Case (on sale since Jul 9, 2014).

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 dark red, navy, grey or white blend with the camouflage palette. Matte or paper stickers suit the military look better than bright holographic ones. Placing them on the receiver keeps them next to the red and grey patches.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since a low value keeps the muzzle and forend ribs cleaner.
• Look at the pump forend first, because its raised ribs show wear earlier than other parts.
• Inspect the pattern placement, as the large patches can put more red or more grey on the receiver and stock.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag, as they change how the camo looks.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the camo with no chips at all.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a matching palette.
• The choice for a buyer who values a flawless finish.
