Nova | Wurst Hölle

Origin Story

The Nova | Wurst Hölle, released on October 4, 2024, with The Armory update, is custom painted using sausages from the Wurst Hölle biergarten on Overpass. Its flavor text, "Look no further, you've found the missing link," playfully reinforces the sausage theme. This shotgun's design offers a distinct visual identity, directly referencing an in-game location with a humorous culinary twist.

Drop Chance

Nova | Wurst Hölle is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It appeared in the Budapest 2025 Overpass 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 Overpass 2024 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Mil-Spec skins like Wurst Hölle are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 3 other Mil-Spec 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 1. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($3.98): The Custom Paint Job finish ensures the sausage-themed graphics and flavor text are fully intact and crisp.
• Minimal Wear ($0.85): Minor wear may appear on the muzzle and stock edges, but the main design elements remain clear and largely unaffected.
• Field-Tested ($0.42): Visible wear begins to show along edges and contact points, with some minor graphic details potentially becoming less defined.
• Well-Worn ($0.34): Substantial chipping on edges and noticeable fading of the artwork occurs, though the overall sausage theme remains recognizable.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.30): Heavy wear is present, with large portions of the paint chipped or thinned, and significant dulling of colors across the weapon.

Visual Theme

Custom Paint Job: It has been custom painted using sausages from Wurst Hölle, the biergarten on Overpass. The flavor text, "Look no further, you've found the missing link," explicitly ties the theme to sausages. The custom paint job indicates a bespoke graphic layout rather than a simple pattern or color wash.
