StatTrak™ Nova | Exo (Factory New)

Skin overview

Nova | Exo is a Mil-Spec Grade shotgun finish with silver panels over a purple patterned base. The dark metallic surfaces and curved purple stripes give the gun an armoured look. In Factory New the silver panels keep their full sheen and the purple pattern stays sharp at every edge.

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.

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

How the skin looks in Factory New

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 finish looks as on the clean image, with no visible marks. The silver forend keeps its full shine and the purple stripes have crisp edges. In game the contrast between silver and dark panels is at its strongest. Every part of the gun looks clean.

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.

Who should buy Factory New

• Collectors who want the silver panels at full shine.
• Sticker crafters who need a clean base for a purple or silver theme.
• The best choice when a spotless look matters most.
