Nova | Currents

Origin Story

The Nova | Currents, released on January 22, 2026, as part of The Achroma Collection, features a grayscale pattern accented by silver birds.

Drop Chance

Nova | Currents is Consumer Grade, the most common drop tier in CS2. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Achroma Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Consumer Grade drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 7 other Consumer Grade 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 0.65. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($0.05): The grayscale pattern and silver birds are crisp and fully opaque, with minimal or no visible scratches on the receiver and barrel.
• Minimal Wear ($0.03): Only small edge wear begins to appear on high-contact zones like the barrel mouth and stock edge, with the silver birds remaining largely intact.
• Field-Tested ($0.03): More obvious wear develops on edges and raised surfaces, with small patches of underlying metal showing through on the barrel and stock.
• Well-Worn ($0.03): The hydrographic layer shows significant chipping and fading, especially along the front barrel area and rear stock, giving a rugged, scuffed look.
• Battle-Scarred ($0.03): Large portions of sharp edges and high-contact areas are substantially worn down to base metal, with the grayscale pattern and birds appearing fragmented on those surfaces.
