Nova | Rising Sun (Factory New)

The Nova | Rising Sun (Factory New) is a Restricted shotgun skin — a stained-glass Japanese motif of red and golden beams laid over a white canvas. Factory New is the top grade the finish reaches, keeping the white base bright and the stained-glass colors at their most radiant.

Design

Rising Sun paints the shotgun to resemble stained glass, with red and golden beams fanning across a white canvas in a Japanese-inspired motif. It's a community design by the artist Mia, and it carries an on-theme in-game line: "Wait 'til you see it in the sun - Imogen, Arms Dealer In Training."

Nova | Rising Sun (Factory New) Float and Wear

The finish runs the full range from float 0.00 to 1.00, and Factory New sits at the very bottom of that scale. Here the white canvas stays clean and the red-and-gold beams hold their full radiance, with no edge fading to dull the stained-glass effect. For the design at its brightest, Factory New is the grade to chase.

Nova | Rising Sun Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the pink tier, sitting mid-to-upper on the standard weapon grades. It's a genuinely uncommon rarity to pull, a clear step above the everyday blue and light-blue tiers.

Nova | Rising Sun Case and Collection

This shotgun belongs to The Fever Collection and drops from the Fever Case, released with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. The Restricted tier pulls at roughly 15.98% from the case (a rate shared across the tier). Copies come both from opening the case and from the market.

Nova | Rising Sun Patterns

Rising Sun uses a fixed design — the paint seed never shifts where the red-and-gold beams fall, so every copy wears the same stained-glass motif. There's no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to chase here; wear and float are the only things separating one copy from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version of this Nova exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter, dropping from the Fever Case as a rarer, pricier variant of the standard skin — and that counter is permanent, carrying over when the item is traded or sold. There's no Souvenir edition, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages, and the Fever Case was never a Major drop.

Nova | Rising Sun Price

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

FAQ

Is Factory New Rising Sun worth it?

If the radiant stained-glass look is the draw, yes. Factory New keeps the white canvas bright and the red-and-gold beams glowing, which is exactly what makes this design pop in the sun. Lower grades cost less but let wear creep onto the pale base, so pay up when the brightest colors matter most.

Does Rising Sun come in StatTrak?

Yes. A StatTrak edition drops from the Fever Case, adding a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped as the item is traded or sold. It's rarer and pricier than the standard finish. There's no Souvenir version, since those come only from Major-tournament packages the Fever Case was never part of.

Which gloves suit Rising Sun?

Its white base with red-and-gold beams pairs beautifully with warm gloves — crimson, gold, or cream-toned hand wraps pick up the stained-glass palette without overpowering it. Keep the loadout warm and bright, and this Nova's Japanese-inspired motif becomes the standout of the setup.
