Nova | Koi CS2 skin

Nova | Koi puts the Koi pattern on the Nova, at restricted rarity. It drops from the Operation Breakout Weapon Case, which arrived on 1 July 2014.

Float runs from 0 to 0.3, which leaves 3 of the five conditions: 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.

Besides the normal finish, the skin comes in StatTrak and Souvenir form.

Right now the cheapest listing sits at $1.84 and the priciest variant at $3.76, 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 custom painted with variegated koi scales.

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.
StatTrak™
Counts your confirmed kills with that weapon. The counter resets if the item is traded through certain tools, and the version is a separate item on the market.
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.
