Origin Story
The Nova | Army Sheen, released on December 3, 2020, as part of Operation Broken Fang, joined The Ancient Collection with a utilitarian camouflage design. Its metallic foil is stamped with a military pattern, featuring muted greens, browns, and metallic grey to evoke an army aesthetic. This shotgun skin is generally regarded as a budget-friendly option for players seeking a basic camo style. It serves as a collection filler or souvenir from the Ancient map, rather than a centerpiece item.
Drop Chance
Nova | Army Sheen is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It has appeared across 8 tournament packages, most recently the Rio 2022 Ancient Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Ancient Souvenir Package, and Stockholm 2021 Ancient Souvenir Package.
Souvenir Packages are awarded to viewers watching live Major matches on the corresponding map, not opened from cases, so Valve doesn't publish per-skin drop odds. Each package contains one item from The Ancient Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Consumer Grade skins like Army Sheen are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 4 other Consumer Grade skins in the collection competing for the same drop slot. New copies only enter the market when a recipient chooses to open their package, so supply trickles in over time even after the tournament ends.
Skin Condition
Float range 0 to 0.3. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested. StatTrak is not available for this skin. Factory New ($1.31): The camouflage foil appears clean and bright with strong metallic reflections and minimal surface marks. Minimal Wear ($0.84): The camo and metallic foil remain very close to Factory New, showing only light edge wear or faint scratches on close inspection. Field-Tested ($0.86): More obvious edge wear and small patches of dulling appear along high-contact areas like the barrel, with the metallic aspect looking less vivid.
Model
Army Sheen uses the current Nova model, added with Operation Broken Fang on December 3, 2020. The Anodized finish responds to CS2's dynamic lighting.

Sticker Compatibility
The Nova | Army Sheen's muted green, brown, and metallic grey camouflage provides a suitable background for military-themed stickers, particularly those with earthy tones or gold accents. The receiver and mid-body offer the most visible sticker slots in first-person. Given the skin's budget-friendly nature, sticker use is typically casual rather than focused on high-tier crafts.
