Nova | Forest Leaves (Factory New)

The Nova | Forest Leaves (Factory New) is a Consumer Grade shotgun finish, a green camo look created by spray-painting real leaves as stencils. Factory New is the cleanest grade, where the leaf outlines stay crisp against the green field.

Design

Forest Leaves gives the Nova a natural, organic camouflage: a green finish sprayed using leaves as physical stencils, leaving soft leaf-shaped silhouettes across the body. It's a Valve-made design, and its handmade stencil technique is what sets it apart from printed camo patterns.

Nova | Forest Leaves (Factory New) Float and Wear

This finish runs a float range of 0.06–0.80, and Factory New sits at the low end. The green stays deep and the leaf silhouettes read clearly, with no scratches breaking up the camo. Because the finish starts at 0.06, true Factory New copies are on the tighter side of the range, making a clean one the pick for anyone who wants the leaf look at its sharpest.

Nova | Forest Leaves Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the lowest of the standard weapon grades. It's the most common class in the game, which keeps this finish about as affordable as skins get.

Nova | Forest Leaves Case and Collection

Forest Leaves is part of The Aztec Collection, one of the original sets introduced with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. It doesn't come from a weapon case — collection skins like this are obtained through in-game drops and trade-ups, so it circulates freely on the market rather than being unboxed.

Nova | Forest Leaves Patterns

There's no random pattern roll on this finish — the leaf stencils and green field land the same way on every copy, so there's no paint seed or "blue gem" to hunt. Wear and float are the only things that set one copy apart from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

This finish has no StatTrak edition — a kill-counter version was never produced for it. There's no Souvenir version either, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and The Aztec Collection was never offered as one. Every copy on the market is the standard finish.

Nova | Forest Leaves Price

Factory New tops this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade, but as a Consumer Grade skin the whole thing sits firmly in budget territory, so even the best condition stays cheap. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth it over Minimal Wear?

Only if you want the leaf silhouettes at their sharpest and the green at full depth. Because this is a budget skin, the price gap is small, but Factory New copies are also scarcer given the finish starts at float 0.06. For most buyers Minimal Wear looks nearly identical for less.

What gloves go with the Nova Forest Leaves?

The green camo suits a nature-themed or military loadout. Olive, forest-green, or earth-toned gloves blend right into the leaf pattern, while a tan or khaki pair leans into the outdoorsy feel. Avoid bright, saturated colors — they fight the muted, organic tone the finish is built around.

Does the paint seed change the Forest Leaves look?

No. It's a fixed design, so the leaf stencils and green field appear the same on every copy no matter the paint seed. There's no rare pattern or blue-gem variant to chase — only the wear grade and float value separate one Forest Leaves from another.
