Nova | Caged Steel
- 0 - 0.2 Float range
- The Bank Collection Collection
- $0.05 From, across 5 marketplaces
Nova | Caged Steel is a industrial grade heavy weapon skin for the Nova. It belongs to the The Bank Collection.
The paint wears between 0 and 0.2, so you will find it in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred never exists for it, so any listing claiming otherwise is a different skin.
A Souvenir version exists and usually carries a premium over the plain one.
Right now the cheapest listing sits at $0.05 and the priciest variant at $0.19, across 5 marketplaces. The table below breaks that down by wear.
The Nova's rock-bottom price tag makes it a great ambush weapon for a cash-strapped team. It has been painted with a hex pattern using stencilled metal flake paint, then covered in an oval cutout hydrographic. Say matte!
Prices by wear
Lowest active listing per marketplace, as the price a buyer pays. Steam quotes what the seller receives, so its column has Steam's fee added back on, which is why cheap items look so much dearer there. A dash means nothing is listed in that condition at the moment. Trade holds and item float are not reflected here, so check the listing before you buy.

What the wear names and tags mean
- Factory New (FN)
- Float between 0.00 and 0.07. Paint is untouched, and this is where the price premium sits.
- Minimal Wear (MW)
- Float between 0.07 and 0.15. Light scuffing on edges, usually the sweet spot between looks and cost.
- Field-Tested (FT)
- Float between 0.15 and 0.38. Visible wear across the model. The most traded condition on most skins.
- Souvenir
- Dropped to viewers during a Major. Carries team and player stickers from that match, which is why prices swing wildly between otherwise identical items.
- Float
- A number from 0 to 1 describing how worn the paint is. Lower is cleaner. Two items in the same condition can look different, and collectors pay extra for the extremes.
