Origin Story
The Nova | Gila, released on November 29, 2016, as part of The Glove Collection in the Brothers In Arms update, features a distinctive lizard skin decal. Its design is characterized by a reptile scale motif in green and earthy tones, applied with an Anodized finish that gives it a smooth, metallic sheen. The most prominent visual elements are the scale-like pattern along the receiver and barrel. As a Restricted rarity shotgun from an older, discontinued collection, the Gila serves as a mid-tier, theme-based option for players and collectors.
Drop Chance
Nova | Gila is Restricted, a Purple-tier skin in the upper half of the rarity ladder. From the Glove Case: approximately 3.20% per opening (roughly 1 in 31). The 15.98% Restricted tier rate is split across 5 Restricted skins in the case. StatTrak versions drop at ~0.32% from the Glove Case (about 1 in 313). 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 to 0.3. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT. Factory New ($13.60): The lizard-skin motif on the receiver and barrel appears clean and fully intact with a strong metallic sheen. Minimal Wear ($5.09): Subtle edge wear may be visible on close inspection, but the green and brown reptile pattern remains vivid and uninterrupted. Field-Tested ($4.60): The anodized finish shows noticeable dulling, with more pronounced edge wear and small worn patches, especially on high-contact zones.
Model
Gila uses the legacy Nova model, introduced with Brothers In Arms on November 29, 2016. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

Sticker Compatibility
The Nova | Gila's lizard skin pattern is complemented by stickers in green, lime, or toxic green to enhance its reptile theme, or by brown, beige, or gold accents that harmonize with its earth tones and anodized sheen. Black or white neutral stickers also provide contrast without clashing. For optimal visibility, the rear receiver and mid-body sticker slots are the most prominent in first-person view.
