Nova | Wild Six (Factory New)

The Nova | Wild Six (Factory New) is a Restricted shotgun skin wrapping the Nova in a brown, post-apocalyptic paint job. Factory New is the top grade, showing the wasteland artwork at its boldest with no wear over the top.

Design

A custom paint job evokes post-apocalyptic imagery across the shell, built on rugged brown tones for a grimy, end-of-the-world feel. It is a community design by DasDas, Des, and Mia, and it carries the in-game line "My gun, my rules."

Nova | Wild Six (Factory New) Float and Wear

Float runs from 0.00 to 0.80, and Factory New sits right at the bottom of that scale. Here the brown artwork reads at full saturation with no scuffing on the body, so every bit of the post-apocalyptic detailing lands as intended. If you want this finish looking its absolute best, this is the grade to chase.

Nova | Wild Six Rarity

Rarity: Restricted — the purple tier, sitting above Mil-Spec and below Classified among the standard weapon grades. It is a step up from a case's common blue drops.

Nova | Wild Six Case and Collection

This finish belongs to The Clutch Collection and drops from the Clutch Case, released in February 2018. The Restricted tier as a whole unboxes roughly 16% of the time from the case (a rate shared across the tier's skins), so pulling this exact one is uncommon and most copies change hands on the market.

Nova | Wild Six Patterns

The artwork is fixed — the paint seed does not shift how it looks, so every copy carries the post-apocalyptic design the same way. There is no "best pattern" or blue-gem seed to hunt; only wear and float separate one from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak version exists and adds a confirmed-kill counter that logs frags as you play; it drops more rarely than the standard finish, and the counter is permanent — it never gets wiped when the item is traded or sold. There is no Souvenir version, since Souvenir weapons come only from Major-tournament packages and this finish was never offered in one.

Nova | Wild Six Price

Factory New sits at the top of this finish's price ladder as the cleanest grade available, a clear step above Minimal Wear. Even so, the skin lands in affordable mid-tier territory for the Nova, not grail money. It is available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery.

FAQ

Is Factory New worth the premium here?

If you want the post-apocalyptic artwork at its cleanest, yes — Factory New shows the brown tones at full strength with no surface wear. That said, the busy design hides light scuffing well, so a Minimal Wear copy looks close for less. Pay up only if top condition matters to you.

Which gloves suit the Wild Six?

Its earthy brown, wasteland palette pairs best with brown, tan, or olive gloves — something rugged rather than flashy. Hydra Gloves in muddy tones or a worn leather look complete the survivalist vibe, keeping the loadout grounded in the same grimy, lived-in aesthetic the finish leans into.

Does the Wild Six have a fixed pattern?

Yes. The post-apocalyptic artwork lands the same on every copy, so there is no paint seed or rare variant to seek out. Two copies of the same wear look essentially identical, which makes float the only real variable when you are comparing listings.
