Nova | Moon in Libra

Origin Story

The Nova | Moon in Libra, released on May 26, 2015, with Operation Bloodhound, is part of The Gods and Monsters Collection. Its hydrographic finish features a distinct zodiac motif, setting it apart with an astrological theme. This skin is known for its dark blue and navy base, accented by lighter blue and teal symbols. While lower in rarity within its collection, the Moon in Libra offers a thematic connection for players interested in zodiac-inspired designs.

Drop Chance

Nova | Moon in Libra 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 Gods and Monsters 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 3 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.
