Nova | Rain Station

Origin Story

The Nova | Rain Station, released on April 1, 2025, as part of the Spring Forward update, features a pattern painted with different shades of blue. Its flavor text, "The steady drizzle adds to the ambiance," further enhances its thematic identity. This skin belongs to The Train 2025 Collection. The design focuses on a blue color palette, giving it a distinctive visual.

Drop Chance

Nova | Rain Station is Industrial Grade, a common skin tier, one step above Consumer Grade. It appeared in the Austin 2025 Train Souvenir Package and Budapest 2025 Train 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 Train 2025 Collection, with rarity tiers drawn on a weighted system that heavily favors common grades, meaning Industrial Grade skins like Rain Station are a small fraction of total package contents. There are 5 other Industrial 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 0.35. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($0.38): The spray-painted blue pattern is fully intact and vibrant across the Nova's body.
• Minimal Wear ($0.08): Minor scuffs begin to appear on the edges of the weapon, but the blue pattern remains largely unblemished.
• Field-Tested ($0.05): More noticeable wear and chipping develop on prominent areas, causing the blue shades to appear duller in spots.
