The Quick Sand finish for the Nova sits at mil-spec grade rarity. It drops from the Stockholm 2021 Dust II Souvenir Package.
With a 0 to 0.5 float range, 5 conditions exist for this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred.
Besides the normal finish, the skin comes in Souvenir form.
Right now the cheapest listing sits at $3.29 and the priciest variant at $24.73, across 4 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. A tan and blue hydrographic pattern has been applied to the stock and receiver. The barrel has been painted dark blue. \"A welcome sight\" would be putting it lightly

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.
- Well-Worn (WW)
- Float between 0.38 and 0.45. Heavy fading, though on dark patterns the difference is hard to spot in game.
- Battle-Scarred (BS)
- Float between 0.45 and 1.00. The roughest finish, and normally the cheapest way into a skin.
- 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.
