Nova | Bloomstick

Origin Story

The Nova Bloomstick features a cherry blossom motif, airbrushed by hand and finished with a high-gloss top coat. This distinctive shotgun skin was released on July 10, 2014, as part of The eSports 2014 Summer Collection, arriving with the "Summer is heating up" update.

Drop Chance

Nova | Bloomstick is Classified, a Pink-tier skin, rare with strong collector demand. From the eSports 2014 Summer Case: approximately 0.80% per opening (roughly 1 in 125). The 3.2% Classified tier rate is split across 4 Classified skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.08% from the eSports 2014 Summer Case (about 1 in 1,250). These per-skin odds assume equal weighting within tier — Valve publishes tier rates but doesn't formally confirm even distribution across skins in a tier.

Skin Condition

Float range 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New ($160.90): The vibrant floral pattern is pristine across the weapon body.
• Minimal Wear ($51.38): Minor wear appears on the edges of the receiver, but the bloom designs remain largely intact.
• Field-Tested (No Recent Price): Noticeable scuffs and abrasions begin to appear on the barrel and stock, slightly dulling the floral artwork.
• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): Significant paint loss is present on exposed areas, causing the underlying metal to show through in places.
• Battle-Scarred ($19.15): The finish is heavily degraded, with much of the original floral pattern obscured by extensive wear and scratches.

Model

Bloomstick uses the legacy Nova model, introduced with Summer is heating up on July 10, 2014. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.
