Nova | Baroque Orange

Origin Story

The Nova | Baroque Orange features an intricate, Italian-inspired red and gold pattern, reflecting the Venetian themes of The Canals Collection. Released in November 2019 during Operation Shattered Web, this shotgun skin is characterized by its ornate Baroque-style ornamentation. It serves as a collector or completionist piece within its collection, appealing to players building themed loadouts.

Drop Chance

Nova | Baroque Orange is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Canals Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Restricted drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 2 other Restricted skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. Most copies enter the market through trade-up contracts or direct purchase at a listed seller's price.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.5. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Field-Tested ($126.23): More visible edge fading and minor surface dulling are present, especially on the pump handle and barrel, but the Baroque pattern remains fully readable.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): At the upper end of its float range, this skin shows noticeable fading and dulling across much of the receiver and barrel edges, with reduced metallic sheen.

Model

Baroque Orange uses the legacy Nova model, introduced with Operation Shattered Web on November 19, 2019. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
