Nova | Baroque Orange (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Baroque Orange (Field-Tested) is a Restricted shotgun skin decorated with an intricate red-and-gold baroque pattern. Field-Tested is the middle grade, adding honest wear to the ornate design for a friendlier price than the top conditions.

Design

The whole shotgun wears an Italian-inspired baroque pattern of red and gold — an ornamental, classical look built on warm color and fine detailing rather than aggressive graphics. Valve designed the finish, which comes with the in-game line "Last Supper is served."

Nova | Baroque Orange (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

On the finish's 0.00–0.50 float scale, Field-Tested occupies the middle band. Expect visible scuffing along the edges and high-contact areas, though the busy red-and-gold pattern absorbs a lot of it and the gold accents keep their glow. It's the grade where the baroque look and a moderate price meet.

Nova | Baroque Orange Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier of the standard weapon grades, one rung over Mil-Spec and one under Classified. That places it among the more uncommon finishes a player is likely to run across.

Nova | Baroque Orange Case and Collection

This Nova is a member of The Canals Collection, which debuted with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. Because it's a collection finish and not a case item, it reaches players through operation drops and trade-ups; the Restricted tier accounts for around sixteen percent of the set's output, a rate the tier's skins share.

Nova | Baroque Orange Patterns

Every copy carries the identical baroque artwork — the red-and-gold pattern is fixed, so the paint index has no effect on appearance and there's nothing like a blue gem to seek out. Wear and float remain the only meaningful differences from one unit to the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

No StatTrak variant exists for this finish. StatTrak counters are created inside weapon cases, and The Canals Collection was never released as a case, so the mechanism simply never applied. Likewise there's no Souvenir version, as those come exclusively from Major-tournament packages this collection was never part of.

Nova | Baroque Orange Price

Field-Tested sits in the middle of the price ladder — below the near-flawless grades yet still a high-end Nova, offering the baroque design for meaningfully less than Factory New. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Baroque Orange look worn?

Some wear is visible up close, mostly along the edges and grip, but the dense red-and-gold pattern masks it far better than a plain finish would. At in-game distance the ornate baroque design still reads clearly, which is what makes Field-Tested a sensible balance of looks and cost here.

Is Field-Tested the best value for this Nova?

For many buyers, yes. It carries the same eye-catching baroque artwork as the pricier grades while costing noticeably less, and the busy pattern hides its light wear well. If you want the design without the top-grade premium, Field-Tested is the practical middle ground.

Is there a rare pattern worth paying more for?

No. This finish uses a fixed design, so the paint seed never changes the look and no special variant commands a premium. When comparing listings, ignore the seed entirely and judge each copy on its wear grade and float value instead.
