Nova | Wurst Hölle (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Wurst Hölle in Field-Tested (FT) takes the float band 0.15 to 0.38. It is a Mil-Spec skin from The Overpass 2024 Collection, and in the row of its rank it is the cheapest. It has no regular case.

What the Nova | Wurst Hölle looks like in Field-Tested

A dark burgundy shotgun with bright orange and yellow spots that look like glowing drips. The base is dark brown, wine-brown, and each spot has an orange rim and a yellow core. The barrel is dark.

The glowing spots are scattered over the handguard, the receiver and the stock, while the barrel and the tube magazine stay clean. On the handguard the yellow shows through in stripes between the ribs. The spots are rounded, with droplets along the edges.

Valve's description says the Nova is painted with sausages from Wurst Hölle, a beer garden on the Overpass map. Scuffs show less on a dark base than on a light one, and in Field-Tested the bright spots remain the main thing the eye sees on the gun.

Where the Nova | Wurst Hölle came from

The skin belongs to The Overpass 2024 Collection, released in October 2024. Its name points to the Wurst Hölle beer garden on the Overpass map. No author is on record.

What to check before buying

On the Nova | Wurst Hölle, these things change from listing to listing:

• the float: from 0.15 to 0.38 the scuffing grows noticeably;


• the pattern is the same on every listing, so there is nothing to choose by;


• whatever stickers and name tag this copy already carries.

What the Nova | Wurst Hölle costs in Field-Tested

The lower wears sit close together, and the upper ones are clearly higher:

• Factory New costs eight times more;


• Minimal Wear costs a little over twice as much;


• Well-Worn costs a sixth more;


• Battle-Scarred is cheaper by a few percent.

Getting the Nova | Wurst Hölle

Stickers and craft on the Nova | Wurst Hölle

The dark burgundy base gives contrast to light stickers in CS2. Orange and yellow stickers merge with the spots. The clean barrel and tube magazine carry no pattern, and a sticker reads best there.

Who this wear suits

The Nova | Wurst Hölle in Field-Tested makes sense if at least one of these fits:

• you want the cheapest Mil-Spec Nova for CS2;


• you want a shotgun with a dark base and warm spots that hides scuffs;


• you are building a set from The Overpass 2024 Collection.
