StatTrak™ Nova | Windblown (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

Windblown pairs a muted slate-blue base with cream dandelion motifs, giving the Nova a quiet, outdoor look rather than a loud one. In Field-Tested the spray paint begins to break visibly: lighter metal shows along edges and the seed pattern looks slightly faded. The weathering fits the theme of a sun-bleached lawn, so this grade keeps the character of the design.

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

Spray-Paint: paint sprayed over the metal; scratches and scuffs appear early but look natural.

The same quality also exists as the Souvenir version.

How the skin looks in Field-Tested

The base coat is a dark blue-grey that covers the barrel, receiver and stock, with brownish-grey mottling along the barrel. Small cream dandelion seeds are scattered across the receiver and barrel, while the stock carries the largest motifs: several full dandelion clocks in beige and pale gold with fine radial detail.

Scratches spread along the pump ridges, the muzzle and the top edges of the receiver, showing light metal through the dark paint. The small seeds on the receiver start to fade in places. The large dandelions on the stock remain mostly intact, with first wear on its outer contour. In game the gun reads as visibly used but the pattern is still clear.

Which stickers suit it

Stickers in cream, beige, muted gold or dusty teal match the dandelion print and the slate base. Placing them on the dark receiver sides gives the best contrast without covering the stock motifs. Bright neon tones tend to break the calm, outdoor feel of the finish.

What to look at before you buy

• Check the float position within the wear range, since the edges of the pump and receiver change most between low and high floats.
• The pattern is randomised, so compare how the large dandelion clocks fall on the stock, as that is the most visible part of the design.
• Inspect the pump ridges and the muzzle first, because these are the parts that lose paint earliest.
• Look at any applied stickers and name tag, as they can either suit the muted palette or clash with it.

Who should buy Field-Tested

• Players who like a lightly weathered look that suits the outdoor theme.
• Buyers who want the pattern clearly visible at a lower cost.
• Conclusion: a practical grade with the design still intact.
