Nova

Few weapons in CS2 deliver a more satisfying close-range punch than the Nova. This pump-action shotgun is a genuine economy pick, cheap enough to buy on most eco rounds, and lethal enough to catch overconfident opponents off guard. Both sides can wield it, and in the hands of a player who knows their angles, the Nova can swing entire rounds. Despite its budget-weapon status, the Nova has attracted an appealing collection of skins. Hyper Beast is the headline act, a swirling, colourful creature design that became a fan favourite across multiple weapons, and the Nova version maintains that visual energy. Bloomstick goes in the opposite direction with a playful floral pattern, Antique delivers a weathered, classic aesthetic, Green Apple offers a bright, cheerful pop of colour, and Baroque Orange rounds out the palette with a warm, ornate finish. Nova skins span from Consumer Grade to Restricted, meaning there is something for every budget. Even high-rarity finishes tend to be more affordable on the Nova than on headline rifles, making it an attractive option for players who want a great-looking skin without committing serious funds. Wear and float still matter, particularly on textured or illustrated finishes like Hyper Beast, where Factory New copies show the art at its sharpest. On SIH you can compare Nova prices across 28+ platforms including Steam Market, Buff163, Skinport, and CSFloat, all updated hourly.
