Nova | Rising Sun (Well-Worn)

The Nova | Rising Sun (Well-Worn) is a Restricted shotgun skin with a white canvas and a stained-glass motif of red and golden beams, here in a more weathered state. It's a cheaper route into the radiant design, with wear the pale canvas shows more openly.

Design

Rising Sun leans into color: red and golden beams arranged like stained glass across a white canvas, a Japanese-inspired motif with plenty of glow. The finish is a community design by 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 (Well-Worn) Float and Wear

The finish uses the full float scale of 0.00 to 1.00, and Well-Worn sits high on it. Expect clear scuffing and paint loss across the edges and the white canvas, which reveals damage more readily than a dark skin would — though the red-and-gold beams stay recognizable throughout. For players who prize price over polish, this grade delivers the look for less.

Nova | Rising Sun Rarity

Rarity: Restricted, the pink tier. It ranks mid-to-upper among the standard weapon grades — an uncommon rarity that stands a clear step above the common blue and light-blue tiers.

Nova | Rising Sun Case and Collection

This Nova is drawn from The Fever Collection and unboxed from the Fever Case, released with the Spring Forward update in March 2025. Restricted items drop at roughly 15.98% from the case (a rate the whole tier shares). As a current case, copies come both from opening it and from the market.

Nova | Rising Sun Patterns

Every Rising Sun shares the same fixed layout — the stained-glass motif lands identically no matter the paint seed, so there's no blue-gem or "best pattern" copy to seek out. What separates two copies is purely their wear grade and float reading.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak edition of this Nova does exist, pulled from the Fever Case with a confirmed-kill counter along for the ride; it's a scarcer, more expensive drop than the plain skin, and that counter is permanent — it carries over whenever the item is traded or sold. A Souvenir version was never made, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and the Fever Case never was one.

Nova | Rising Sun Price

Well-Worn sits low on the finish's ladder, under Field-Tested and above only Battle-Scarred — a budget route into the design for players who won't pay the higher grades. It's among the cheaper ways to a genuine Rising Sun. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How rough does Well-Worn Rising Sun look?

Fairly worn. Scuffing and paint loss show clearly across the edges and the white canvas, which reveals wear more than a dark skin would — more than Field-Tested but short of Battle-Scarred's heavier battering. The red-and-gold beams stay recognizable, so it still reads as Rising Sun in-game.

Is Well-Worn worth it over Field-Tested?

Mainly if price is the deciding factor. Field-Tested keeps the white canvas tidier for a modest step up in cost, so many buyers prefer it. Well-Worn makes sense when you want the stained-glass design as cheaply as possible without dropping all the way to Battle-Scarred.

Can I get a StatTrak Well-Worn Rising Sun?

Yes. StatTrak versions drop from the Fever Case across the wear range, so a StatTrak Well-Worn copy is possible. It adds a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped through trades or sales, at a premium over the standard finish. There's no Souvenir version, though.
