StatTrak™ Nova | Hyper Beast (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Hyper Beast on the Nova is built around a wild, many-coloured creature that wraps the receiver and stock in neon tones. In Field-Tested scuffs start to show on the barrel, pump and edges of the stock, yet the bright palette still dominates the model. For most players this grade keeps the recognisable look while the price of cleanliness drops.

Item type: shotgun. Classified is the second-rarest weapon tier, only Covert sits above it.

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.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The barrel is mostly dark grey with neon green and pink streaks running toward the receiver, while the muzzle stays dark. The receiver carries the densest part of the artwork, with magenta, red and green shapes forming the beast's body.

Scuffs spread along the barrel, the pump and the top edge of the receiver. Light wear starts on the edges of the stock. At normal distance the neon palette still reads clearly, with only some fine detail lost. The centre of the receiver and the main surface of the stock stay mostly clean.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

StatTrak™ version

This is the StatTrak™ version: the counter on the weapon shows confirmed kills. There is also the regular version without the counter. Right now the StatTrak™ version is 2.6× dearer than the regular one.

Stickers and crafts

Neon green, pink and holo stickers blend with the artwork, while dark or black stickers sit well on the grey barrel. Placing them along the barrel keeps the beast on the receiver uncovered.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies at the low end look noticeably cleaner on the pump and muzzle.
• Look at the top edge of the receiver and the pump, as these lose paint first.
• See whether stickers or a name tag are applied and whether they suit your taste.
• Decide between the regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions before comparing offers.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits
