Souvenir Nova | Sobek's Bite (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This is a black-and-gold Nova with a reddish-brown scale pattern on the stock and an ornamented receiver. In Well-Worn the gold accents are noticeably rubbed off and the dark surfaces lose depth. It suits players who like a used, weathered look on an Egyptian-themed design.

Item type: shotgun. Restricted sits in the middle of the rarity scale: noticeably rarer than Mil-Spec, yet not truly rare.

Gunsmith: several techniques combined on one item; some parts rub off, others only dull.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The barrel and magazine tube are glossy black, with gold bands around the muzzle and near the front sight. The pump is a ribbed sleeve in dark bronze and gold, while the receiver carries a dark scale-like pattern traced with thin gold lines and small gold dots.

The pump ribs and muzzle bands lose much of their gold, and wear spreads across the receiver edges and the lower part of the stock. The black barrel turns matte with visible scratching. In game the colours look darker and flatter, though the scale motif remains recognisable on the stock and receiver centre.

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

Gold, black and dark red stickers blend naturally with this finish, especially holo or gold variants that echo the metal accents. Placing them on the receiver keeps the ornament readable while the ribbed pump stays clean.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the gold lines change noticeably between the low and high end of each grade.
• Inspect the muzzle bands and pump ribs first, as these lose their gold before anything else.
• Look at the lower edge of the stock to see how much of the scale pattern is still intact.
• Note any applied stickers or name tag and whether they suit the black-and-gold scheme.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget buyers who want this design on their Nova.
• Players who prefer a darker, weathered appearance.
• An inexpensive way to own the skin.
