Nova | Forest Leaves (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Forest Leaves (Field-Tested) is a Consumer Grade shotgun finish with a green, leaf-stencil camo pattern. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it — a bit of honest wear on a camo that shrugs it off, at the range's most popular price.

Design

Forest Leaves wraps the Nova in a natural green camouflage made by spraying paint over leaves used as stencils, so soft leaf shapes scatter across the body. Valve designed it, and the physical-stencil method gives the finish an organic look that stands apart from digital camo.

Nova | Forest Leaves (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Across the finish's 0.06–0.80 float range, Field-Tested falls in the middle. Light scratching appears on the edges and raised parts, but the busy leaf pattern hides it well, so the camo still reads clearly. It's the everyday grade most owners land on — enough wear to look used without the design suffering for it.

Nova | Forest Leaves Rarity

Rarity: Consumer Grade — the white tier, the bottom rung of the standard weapon grades. Being the most common class in the game, it keeps this finish among the cheapest Nova options around.

Nova | Forest Leaves Case and Collection

This finish comes from The Aztec Collection, a launch-era set that arrived with the Arms Deal update in August 2013. There's no weapon case behind it — collection skins of this vintage spread through drops and trade-ups, which is why they're picked up on the market rather than unboxed.

Nova | Forest Leaves Patterns

No paint seed matters on this finish — the leaf stencils and green field sit identically on every copy, so there's no random pattern or "blue gem" to seek out. The only differences between copies come down to wear and float.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak edition of this finish; a kill-counter version was never made for it. Nor is there a Souvenir variant, because Souvenir weapons come solely from Major-tournament packages and The Aztec Collection was never offered as one. Only the standard finish trades on the market.

Nova | Forest Leaves Price

Field-Tested sits in the mid-to-lower part of the ladder, cheaper than the top grades while keeping the camo intact — and since the whole finish is budget-priced, it's a genuine steal at this grade. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Forest Leaves look beat up?

Not really. There's light scratching on the edges and raised surfaces, but the busy leaf pattern and green base mask it well. From normal viewing distance the camo comes through clearly, which is a big reason Field-Tested is the most popular grade buyers reach for.

Is Field-Tested the best value Forest Leaves?

For most buyers, yes. It's the most common grade and cheaper than Minimal Wear while still showing the camo well thanks to the wear-hiding pattern. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred are cheaper still if you don't mind heavier scuffing on the finish.

Why is the Forest Leaves so cheap?

It's a Consumer Grade skin, the lowest and most common rarity, and it comes from an old launch-era collection with no case scarcity behind it. There's also no StatTrak or Souvenir version to lift prices. The result is one of the most budget-friendly finishes you can put on the Nova.
