StatTrak™ Nova | Plume (Minimal Wear)

Skin overview

The skin keeps its full feather motif in copper, brown and cream, with a pale speckled barrel above. Minimal Wear may add a few tiny marks near the muzzle or on the pump edges, which are hard to spot in a match. For most buyers this grade looks the same as a clean copy while costing less.

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

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

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

Appearance in Minimal Wear

The receiver is covered with overlapping brown feathers with fine light edges and faint cool accents between them. The pump carries long ribbed feather vanes in copper with cream streaks, and the magazine tube end repeats the copper and cream rings.

Small specks can appear at the muzzle and on the most raised ridges of the pump. The receiver, magazine tube and stock remain clean. At normal distance in game the skin looks the same as Factory New. Only close inspection reveals the marks.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in brown, gold, copper or cream match the feather artwork, and holo or gold variants echo the light highlights. Placing them on the receiver side keeps the pump feathers visible, and nature or bird motifs fit the theme.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since low floats in Field-Tested keep the pump noticeably cleaner.
• Inspect the muzzle and the pump ridges first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the gun.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as bright colours can clash with the earthy palette.
• If you want a StatTrak™ or Souvenir copy, confirm the type in the item name before buying.

Who the Minimal Wear quality suits

• Players who want a near-clean look without paying for Factory New.
• Crafters who place stickers on the receiver, which stays clean here.
• Conclusion: practically clean appearance at a more sensible grade.
