StatTrak™ Nova | Clear Polymer (Well-Worn)

Skin overview

This Nova keeps its recognisable see-through design, with internal parts and green accents drawn under a pale shell. In Well-Worn the clear effect is broken up by noticeable scuffs on the barrel, forend and stock, and the surface looks less like clean plastic. It suits players who want the concept and colour scheme at a lower grade.

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

Custom Paint Job: hand-painted across the whole body; this is the type where wear shows most, the artwork rubs down to metal.

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Well-Worn

The whole Nova is covered in a pale grey-blue, glass-like finish that imitates a transparent casing. Through the forend a coiled spring is drawn around the magazine tube, and the receiver shows internal parts with bright green highlights.

Well-Worn brings wide scuffed areas along the barrel, the forend with its drawn spring and the lower part of the stock. The receiver edges lose paint, and the green highlights look duller in places. The glass-like effect is noticeably broken in game, though the colour scheme still reads.

Stickers and crafts

Green, silver or holographic stickers match the green highlights and glassy grey-blue shell. Placing them on the receiver keeps the drawn springs on the forend and grip visible.

What to look at before you buy

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since the see-through effect depends heavily on clean edges.
• Look at the muzzle, the forend edges and the bottom of the stock, as these lose paint first.
• Make sure the green accents on the receiver and near the muzzle are still visible on worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and name tag, as bright or busy stickers can clash with the clean transparent look.

Who the Well-Worn quality suits

• Budget players who like the colour scheme more than a clean finish.
• Those who want a used, handled look on their shotgun.
• A low-cost option where the concept matters more than condition.
