Souvenir Nova | Quick Sand (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Nova carries a sand-coloured hydrographic pattern with blue streaks and a dark blue barrel. In Well-Worn the paint is visibly thinned on the edges, the muzzle and the raised parts of the pump, giving the gun a weathered, field-used look. The colour scheme still comes through at a glance, so the skin keeps its identity.

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.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The stock and receiver are covered in a hydrographic pattern of sand, light tan and orange-brown tones cut through by flowing teal blue streaks, with curved bands that resemble swirling grain. The ribbed pump fore-end carries the lighter beige part of the pattern, so its grooves stand out clearly.

The dark blue paint is noticeably rubbed off near the muzzle and along the barrel edges, and the pump ribs show clear patches of lost paint. The receiver and the stock near the grip carry heavier scratches that break up the teal streaks. In game the skin looks weathered, though the tan and blue palette is still obvious. The centre of the stock keeps most of its pattern.

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 teal, navy or sand tones blend with the hydrographic pattern, while a warm orange accent echoes the brown bands on the stock. Placing stickers on the receiver keeps them close to the busiest part of the pattern, and the dark blue barrel works as a calm backdrop for a single bright sticker.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the top of a grade look noticeably cleaner on the muzzle and pump ribs.
• Inspect the ribbed pump fore-end and the muzzle, as these show wear first on this finish.
• Souvenir copies exist and come with stickers already applied, so check whether you want that version.
• Look at any stickers or name tag on the item and decide whether they suit the tan and blue palette.

Who should buy Well-Worn

• Players who like a weathered, field-used shotgun.
• Buyers who want the skin's palette without paying attention to small scratches.
• A good fit if character matters more than a clean finish.
