Nova | Tempest CS2 skin

The Tempest finish for the Nova sits at mil-spec grade rarity. It drops from the Operation Bravo Case, which arrived on 19 September 2013.

With a 0.06 to 0.22 float range, 3 conditions exist for this skin: 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 StatTrak and Souvenir version exists and usually carries a premium over the plain one.

Right now the cheapest listing sits at $4.43 and the priciest variant at $59.50, 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. This memento from Seaside has been painted with a wave and cloud motif hydrographic. A storm is coming

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.
