Nova | Plume (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Plume (Field-Tested) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin with custom brown feathers over a wooden receiver and stock. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it, adding honest wear to a design that carries it comfortably.

Design

At its core the finish is a warm wooden body overlaid with hand-painted brown feathers, joining a rustic natural base to an ornamental plumage motif. It's a community design by blossomalex, and the flavor line keeps things light: "This oughta ruffle some feathers."

Nova | Plume (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

With the finish running float 0.00 to 0.80, Field-Tested occupies the middle of the scale. Light scratching creeps onto the edges and the pump, but the feather pattern and wood grain hide most of it, so the shotgun still reads well in-game. This is the everyday grade — good looks at the friendliest price.

Nova | Plume Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade. That's the light-blue tier at the foot of the standard weapon grades, and it's the most plentiful band of all, so the finish is never hard to source and rarely pricey.

Nova | Plume Case and Collection

The finish comes from The Shattered Web Collection and is unboxed from the Shattered Web Case, which arrived with Operation Shattered Web in November 2019. Within the case the Mil-Spec tier pulls at roughly 79.92% (that odds figure is shared across the tier's skins), making it the most frequent drop class.

Nova | Plume Patterns

Nothing about the layout is random. The brown feathers and wood grain are a fixed design that repeats the same on every copy, so there's no paint seed to gamble on and no rare-pattern payoff to look for. The only real differences between two examples are their wear level and float reading.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ Nova | Plume is available, adding a confirmed-kill counter; it drops more rarely and costs more than the standard skin from the Shattered Web Case, and its counter is permanent — it never gets wiped, staying with the item through trades and sales. No Souvenir version was made, since those come only from Major-tournament packages the collection was never part of.

Nova | Plume Price

Field-Tested is the most affordable of the widely stocked grades, sitting below Minimal Wear and offering the design at its best value. For most buyers it's the sensible entry point into this affordable mid-tier Nova. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Plume look worn?

Only a little. Field-Tested brings scratching to the edges and pump, but the busy feather-and-wood design masks most of it, so the shotgun still looks presentable in a match. It's the grade to grab if you want the plumage look without paying up for a near-mint surface.

Is Field-Tested the best value Plume?

For a lot of players, yes. It costs less than Minimal Wear yet keeps the pattern readable thanks to the wear-hiding design, and it's the grade most commonly listed. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go cheaper still if you'll accept heavier scuffing for the lowest price.

What does the Plume design look like?

It's a set of custom brown feathers painted over a wooden receiver and stock — a rustic, natural finish that pairs warm wood grain with an ornamental plumage motif. The artist, blossomalex, leaned into a woodland feel, right down to the tongue-in-cheek "ruffle some feathers" line stamped on the skin.
