The Nova | Rain Station (Factory New, FN) is an Industrial Grade shotgun skin — washed-out gray tones streaked with several shades of blue for a rainy, overcast mood. Factory New is the cleanest grade the finish comes in, keeping those moody blues at their most defined.

Design

Rain Station paints the shotgun in muted gray with a pattern built from different shades of blue, giving off a drizzly, storm-window feel rather than a bright graphic. It's a Valve-made finish, and it carries the fitting in-game line "The steady drizzle adds to the ambiance."

Nova | Rain Station (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish is tightly capped, running only from float 0.00 to 0.35, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that short band. At this grade the blue shades stay crisp and the gray base shows no fading, so the rainy pattern reads exactly as designed. For the moody look at its most defined, this is the grade to grab.

Nova | Rain Station Rarity

Rarity: Industrial Grade — the light-blue tier, one step up from Consumer and near the bottom of the standard weapon grades. It's a common, low-cost rarity, which keeps this Nova easy on the wallet.

Nova | Rain Station Case and Collection

This shotgun is part of The Train 2025 Collection, introduced with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. The collection has no weapon case behind it, so copies reach the market through collection drops and Major-tournament souvenir packages rather than case openings, which keeps supply tied to those channels.

Nova | Rain Station Patterns

Rain Station uses a fixed design — the paint seed never changes where the blue shades and gray tones fall, so every copy wears the pattern the same way. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase here; wear and float are all that separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

There's no StatTrak version of this Nova — StatTrak counters are minted only inside weapon cases, and this finish has never been part of a case drop pool. A Souvenir edition does exist alongside the regular finish, first handed out in the Austin 2025 Train Souvenir Package and again through later Major souvenir packages.

Nova | Rain Station Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest available grade, though as a budget-tier Nova the whole range stays very affordable. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Factory New Rain Station worth it?

For a budget skin, the jump is small in absolute terms, so if you want the rainy blues at their most defined it's an easy call. Factory New keeps the gray base clean and the blue shades crisp. Lower grades cost even less but soften the tones slightly, so decide by how much the pristine look matters.

Does Rain Station come in StatTrak?

No. StatTrak is produced only inside weapon cases, and this finish drops from a collection with no case, so a kill-counter version was never minted. What does exist is a Souvenir edition, first from the Austin 2025 Train package and later from other Major souvenir packages.

Which gloves match Rain Station?

Its washed-out gray-and-blue palette suits cool, muted gloves — gray, slate, or blue-toned hand wraps echo the rainy mood without fighting the finish. Keep the loadout low-key and overcast, and this Nova ties the whole setup together with its stormy blues.
