Nova Skins

The Nova is CS2's go-to budget shotgun. It costs $1,050, kills in one headshot at close range, and gets bought every other eco round. With 45 skins it has the largest shotgun collection. Prices run from $0.01 (Polar Mesh) to $530 (Blaze Orange FN), and the collection hides the usual old-collection pricing traps.

This page lists every Nova skin with current prices, float values and drop sources.

The expensive ones

Blaze Orange ($25–$530). Mil-Spec. Orange flames from the Militia Collection. $530 in FN for a Mil-Spec shotgun skin. The Militia Collection is dead, so this price will likely only go up.
Baroque Orange ($89–$379). Industrial. Orange baroque pattern from the Italy Collection. An Industrial-grade skin approaching $400 in FN. Same dead-collection dynamic.
Modern Hunter ($19–$250). Mil-Spec. Green camo from the Nuke Collection. Every weapon with a Nuke Collection skin has this exact same pricing pattern.
Bloomstick ($14–$101). Classified. Flower/broom design from the Dead Hand Collection. The newest premium Nova.
Hyper Beast ($13–$31). Classified. Colorful monster. A proper skin that looks like a proper skin.
Interlock ($10–$36). Classified. Interlocking geometric.
Antique ($9–$11). Covert. Ornate antique engraving. The only Covert Nova. Surprisingly cheap for its rarity.
Graphite ($10–$13). Classified. Carbon fiber.

Red Quartz ($9–$18). Industrial. Red crystal.
