Nova | Rising Skull was introduced with The Winter Offensive Collection in December 2013, available from the Winter Offensive Weapon Case. The skull applied with matte paints and an oil-based paint marker was one of the earliest figurative designs on the Nova.
The finish applies a skull image using matte paints and an oil-based paint marker. The flavor text — quoting 'Imogen and The Oni, Part 1': 'Mr. Izaki, I'm not complaining... but how many shotguns do you need?' — references CS:GO's narrative with dry humor.
Rising Skull is a Winter Offensive legacy skin with historical value from the December 2013 release. The skull motif is a recognizable classic in the CS2 catalog, and the CS:GO lore flavor text gives it narrative depth.
Restricted is the third standard container tier, with weighted drop odds of roughly 1 in 5 per case opening before exterior selection.
Rising Skull is exclusive to the Winter Offensive Weapon Case. That case is no longer part of the active weekly drop rotation and must be sourced from the secondary market or existing inventory.
StatTrak versions are available, tracking confirmed kills. No Souvenir variant exists.
Float range of 0.00–0.50, covering Factory New through Well-Worn. Battle-Scarred is only obtainable at the very lowest wear grades.
