Nova | Forest Leaves

Origin Story

The Nova | Forest Leaves, released on August 14, 2013, as part of The Arms Deal update, originates from The Aztec Collection. Its design features a muted olive green and brown camouflage, achieved by spray-painting leaf stencils onto the shotgun. This finish style gives the weapon a distinct jungle or foliage-themed appearance, consistent with its in-game description. As a consumer-grade skin from a discontinued map collection, it is generally regarded as a low-tier, budget option in the marketplace.

Drop Chance

Nova | Forest Leaves 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 Aztec 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 2 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 0.06 to 0.8. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is not available for this skin.

• Factory New ($70.24): The olive green, brown, and dark green leaf silhouettes are most crisp and saturated, with minimal to no visible scratches on the main body.
• Minimal Wear ($10.63): The overall leaf stencil pattern remains fully intact, with only small, subtle edge wear likely on the barrel lip, stock edge, and sharp corners of the receiver.
• Field-Tested ($5.70): Noticeable wear begins to appear on high-contact areas like the front of the barrel and top edges of the receiver, where small patches of base metal may show through, and leaf shapes start to break up.
• Well-Worn ($4.80): A significant portion of the edges and frequently handled parts, especially around the barrel, pump, and stock butt, show exposed base metal, and the spray pattern looks faded and patchy.
• Battle-Scarred ($4.60): The finish is heavily worn with large areas of base metal visible, and much of the leaf stencil pattern appears fragmented or washed out, particularly on the front barrel and main receiver.
