Souvenir Nova | Modern Hunter (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Modern Hunter is a realistic hunting camo rather than a graphic design, which helps it carry wear without losing its character. In Field-Tested the edges of the receiver and stock start to lose the print, but the olive-and-orange foliage still covers most of the gun. The muted look stays coherent, as if the shotgun had actually been taken into the field.

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

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

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

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver and stock carry the main print: a photographic hunting camo of pale grey-olive branches with scattered orange and rust-yellow leaves. The long barrel is mostly black with light camo flecks running along its top, and the ribbed pump forend stays dark.

Scuffs appear along the receiver edges, the top of the barrel near the muzzle and the lower edge of the stock. The central areas of the stock and receiver still show most of the foliage. In game the camo reads as intact, with wear noticeable only on close inspection. The ribbed pump looks mostly clean because of its dark finish.

Field-Tested wear: float 0.15–0.38

The float of Souvenir Nova | Modern Hunter ranges from 0.06 to 0.8; the Field-Tested quality covers 0.15–0.38 — 31% of this skin’s scale. The lower the float within the range, the cleaner the surface looks and the higher a copy is usually priced.

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

Stickers in olive, brown, beige or orange tones blend with the hunting camo. Placing them on the dark barrel or pump gives contrast, while matte or paper stickers suit the realistic look better than bright holo ones.

What to check before buying

• Factory New covers only a narrow slice of the float range, so compare Minimal Wear copies near its lower end as a cheaper alternative.
• Inspect the muzzle, barrel top and stock edges, since these lose the print first.
• Souvenir copies come with preset stickers, so check that their placement suits you.
• Check for any name tag or applied stickers and whether they fit the muted camo.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the hunting camo for everyday matches.
• Buyers who like a camo that looks natural with some wear.
• A sensible middle option for play.
