Origin Story
The Nova | Modern Hunter was released on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, introducing a hunting camo hydrographic to the shotgun. Its design features an earthy palette of greens, browns, and muted beige tones, typical of woodland camouflage. This skin is recognized as an older, niche collector piece, primarily appealing to those interested in completing sets from The Militia Collection. The Modern Hunter's visual identity aligns with a classic, retro hunting-camo style rather than a modern or futuristic aesthetic.
Drop Chance
Nova | Modern Hunter is Mil-Spec, a Blue-tier skin, less common than base collection drops. It can drop as an end-of-match reward from active competitive play on the Militia Collection item pool. Map drops follow a weighted rarity system that heavily favors common grades, so Mil-Spec drops are uncommon and Valve doesn't publish per-skin odds. There are 4 other Mil-Spec 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 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.
- Minimal Wear ($44.46): The hunting camo pattern is crisp with strong color separation, showing only small edge nicks on high-contact areas like the barrel and pump.
- Field-Tested ($22.50): Noticeable scratching and thinning appear on the pump, barrel tip, and receiver edges, making the finish appear used rather than pristine.
- Well-Worn ($22.23): Significant chipping and wear are present on the muzzle, barrel, pump ridges, and receiver edges, with the camo appearing faded and patchy.
- Battle-Scarred ($25.03): Extensive loss of the hydrographic layer leaves much of the surface as scuffed metal with remnants of the camo, which looks ghosted or washed out.
Model
Modern Hunter uses the legacy Nova model, introduced with The Arms Deal on August 14, 2013. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
