Souvenir Nova | Windblown (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Nova finish is defined by its dandelion field print, most clearly visible on the stock, set over dark blue-grey paint. In Well-Worn the forend and receiver show broad patches of bare metal, while the larger seed heads on the stock still read as dandelions. It gives a rough, used look at a lower entry point.

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: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Well-Worn

The base coat is a dark blue-grey that covers the barrel, receiver and stock, with brownish-grey mottling along the barrel. Small cream dandelion seeds are scattered across the receiver and barrel, while the stock carries the largest motifs: several full dandelion clocks in beige and pale gold with fine radial detail.

The pump forend loses much of its paint, and the receiver shows wide patches of bare metal around its edges. Many of the small seeds on the barrel and receiver are gone or broken up. The stock is worn along its edges, while the centre of the large dandelion clocks still holds. In game the weapon reads as mostly metal at the front with the pattern surviving at the back.

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 cream, beige, muted gold or dusty teal match the dandelion print and the slate base. Placing them on the dark receiver sides gives the best contrast without covering the stock motifs. Bright neon tones tend to break the calm, outdoor feel of the finish.

What to check before buying

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the edges of the pump and receiver change most between low and high floats.
• The pattern is randomised, so compare how the large dandelion clocks fall on the stock, as that is the most visible part of the design.
• Inspect the pump ridges and the muzzle first, because these are the parts that lose paint earliest.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they can either suit the muted palette or clash with it.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Players who prefer a rough, used shotgun look.
• Budget buyers who still want the dandelions readable on the stock.
• Conclusion: character over cleanliness at a modest price.
