Nova | Rising Sun (Battle-Scarred)

The Nova | Rising Sun (Battle-Scarred, BS) is a Restricted shotgun skin with a white canvas and a stained-glass motif of red and golden beams, in its most weathered condition. It's the cheapest way into the radiant design, trading surface polish for the lowest entry price.

Design

The design centers on color: red and golden beams laid out like stained glass over a white canvas, a Japanese-inspired motif built to glow. It's a community piece by the artist Mia, complete with an on-theme in-game line — "Wait 'til you see it in the sun - Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training."

Nova | Rising Sun (Battle-Scarred) Float and Wear

Battle-Scarred marks the roughest end of the finish. Because Rising Sun uses the full float scale up to 1.00, its Battle-Scarred copies can reach genuinely heavy wear — expect broad scuffing and paint loss across the white canvas, which shows the damage plainly. The red-and-gold beams still anchor the look, keeping the stained-glass motif readable even at its most battered.

Nova | Rising Sun Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier and mid-to-upper on the standard weapon grades. It's an uncommon rarity, standing a clear step above the common blue and light-blue tiers most drops fall into.

Nova | Rising Sun Case and Collection

The finish is part of The Fever Collection and comes from the Fever Case, which debuted with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. Restricted skins unbox at about 15.98% from the case (a figure shared across the tier). Being a current case, copies move through both unboxing and the market.

Nova | Rising Sun Patterns

Because Rising Sun runs a fixed design, the paint seed has no bearing on how the finish looks — the stained-glass motif is placed the same on the white canvas of every copy. There's nothing like a blue-gem seed to chase; a copy's identity comes down to its wear and float alone.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You can find a StatTrak variant of this Nova too, dropped from the Fever Case, which brings a confirmed-kill counter; it's rarer and pricier than the standard skin, and the counter is permanent, following the item through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version — Souvenir weapons come strictly from Major-tournament packages, and the Fever Case never featured as one.

Nova | Rising Sun Price

Battle-Scarred is the cheapest grade of the skin — the entry-level way to run the stained-glass design for players who value the look over pristine condition. If you want a genuine Rising Sun for as little as possible, this is the way in. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Is Battle-Scarred Rising Sun still recognizable?

Yes. Despite heavy scuffing on the white canvas, the red-and-gold beams keep the stained-glass motif readable at a glance in-game. Battle-Scarred is about accepting visible wear for the lowest price, not losing the look — the design's bright colors still come through clearly.

How heavy is the wear on Battle-Scarred Rising Sun?

Genuinely heavy. Because the finish uses the full float scale up to 1.00, its Battle-Scarred copies reach the extreme end, and the pale canvas reveals that damage more openly than a dark skin would. The beams keep the motif legible, but expect broad scuffing across the body.

Does Battle-Scarred Rising Sun come in StatTrak?

Yes. StatTrak copies drop from the Fever Case across every wear, so a StatTrak Battle-Scarred version exists. It adds a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped through trades or sales. There's no Souvenir edition, as those come only from Major-tournament packages.
