StatTrak™ Nova | Exo (Battle-Scarred)

Skin overview

This is the most worn version of Nova | Exo, with silver panels over a purple base. The float range of this skin stops before the heaviest damage, so even Battle-Scarred keeps a fair part of the pattern. Expect dull, scuffed panels and rubbed edges rather than a fully stripped gun.

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

Patina: an aged metal surface; wear is part of the design, so the gap between qualities is less visible.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested and Well-Worn. The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Battle-Scarred

The receiver and barrel are covered in dark grey-green metallic panels crossed by curved purple stripes. The ribbed pump forend is finished in silver, which makes it the brightest part of the gun.

The forend, muzzle and stock corners show the heaviest rubbing on this skin, and the silver has lost most of its shine. Edges across the receiver look scuffed. Because the range ends early, the panels and stripes are still largely in place. In game the gun looks worn but keeps its overall design.

Battle-Scarred quality — float range 0.45–0.5

The float of StatTrak™ Nova | Exo ranges from 0 to 0.5; the Battle-Scarred quality covers 0.45–0.5 — 10% of this skin’s scale. Within the range, copies with a lower float look cleaner and are valued higher.

Stickers and crafts

Purple, silver and holographic stickers match the skin's colour scheme well. Dark or black designs blend with the panels for a quiet look, while placing stickers on the receiver keeps them visible next to the silver forend.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end look noticeably better.
• Look at the silver forend and the muzzle first, as they show wear before the rest of the gun.
• Inspect the stock corners for rubbing on more worn copies.
• Check applied stickers and the name tag, as they change how the gun looks and what you are paying for.
