Nova | Windblown (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Windblown (Field-Tested) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin wearing a spray-painted dandelion field. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it — a little honest wear on a light design, for the least fuss and a low price.

Design

At its heart the finish is a dandelion meadow: yellow blooms dotted over green stems, spray-painted onto the Nova for a soft, outdoorsy vibe that stands out among busier shotgun skins. The design comes from community artist MGBazz and carries a playful in-game line — "Get off my lawn."

Nova | Windblown (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested lands in the middle of the finish's 0.00–0.50 float window. Light scratching shows up along the edges and raised hardware, but the busy dandelion artwork absorbs it well, so the meadow still reads clearly from a normal viewing distance. This is the grade most buyers settle on for the balance of look and cost.

Nova | Windblown Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue band and the most common of the standard weapon grades. Sitting at the base of the rarity ladder is exactly why this Nova is so affordable and easy to track down.

Nova | Windblown Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Snakebite Collection and comes out of the Snakebite Case, released alongside the End of Broken Fang update in May 2021. The Mil-Spec tier is the case's most frequent result at about 79.92% (a rate the whole tier shares), which keeps supply high and prices low on the open market.

Nova | Windblown Patterns

Because the dandelion field is a fixed design, the paint seed never rearranges it — each copy carries the same artwork, and there's nothing like a blue-gem seed to seek out. Wear and float are all that separate one Windblown from the next.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ Windblown is out there too, bringing a confirmed-kill counter that never gets wiped and travels with the weapon through every trade or sale; it's a rarer, more expensive drop than the plain finish. There's no Souvenir variant — Souvenir weapons are produced only from Major-tournament packages, and the Snakebite Case never featured at one.

Nova | Windblown Price

Field-Tested sits in the affordable middle of the ladder, below the two top grades but with the artwork still reading well — the value-minded default for this Nova. And since it's a Mil-Spec finish, even the higher grades stay cheap. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Windblown look worn?

Only mildly. You'll spot light scratching on the edges and hardware up close, but the busy dandelion pattern hides it well, so the skin reads as intact at a glance in-game. For a shotgun that spends a lot of time holstered on your model, it's more than presentable.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Factory New and Minimal Wear while keeping the dandelion field perfectly readable, and it's the most plentiful grade on the market. If you want to save further, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred go cheaper still at the cost of visible wear.

What collection is the Nova | Windblown from?

It's part of The Snakebite Collection, unboxed from the Snakebite Case that shipped with the End of Broken Fang update in May 2021. The finish sits at Mil-Spec, the collection's most common rarity, which is why it's such an inexpensive and easy-to-find shotgun skin.
