Nova | Yorkshire (Field-Tested)

The Nova | Yorkshire (Field-Tested, FT) is a Mil-Spec shotgun skin wearing a high-gloss bronze and gold coat. Field-Tested is the most common way to own it — a bit of honest wear on a metallic design, for a low price.

Design

At its core the finish plates the Nova in polished bronze and gold, a warm high-gloss look that reads more like a display piece than a field weapon. Valve made the design, and it comes with a dry in-game line that cuts against the sheen: "A history of violence."

Nova | Yorkshire (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Field-Tested falls in the middle of the finish's full 0.00–1.00 float window. The gloss dulls and light scratching shows up along the edges and raised hardware, but the bronze-and-gold coat still reads distinctly metallic from a normal distance. This is the grade most buyers settle on for the balance of look and cost.

Nova | Yorkshire Rarity

Rarity: Mil-Spec Grade — the blue band, the most common of the standard weapon grades. Its spot at the base of the rarity ladder is precisely why this metallic Nova stays cheap and simple to track down.

Nova | Yorkshire Case and Collection

This finish is part of The Sport & Field Collection, which arrived with The Armory update in October 2024. Mil-Spec is the collection's most common band, and as the set wasn't released in a weapon case, copies come to market through drops and trade-ups rather than unboxing.

Nova | Yorkshire Patterns

Because the bronze-and-gold coat is a fixed design, the paint seed never shifts it — every copy carries the same metallic finish, and there's nothing like a blue-gem seed to seek out. Wear and float are all that separate one copy from another.

StatTrak & Souvenir

You won't find a StatTrak version of this finish: StatTrak counters come only from weapon cases, and The Sport & Field Collection wasn't offered in one. No Souvenir version exists either, as Souvenir weapons are handed out only through Major-tournament packages and Yorkshire was never in one. It comes as a regular finish alone.

Nova | Yorkshire Price

Field-Tested sits in the affordable middle of the ladder, below the top grades but still reading clearly metallic — the value-minded default here. As a Mil-Spec skin, even the higher grades stay in mid-tier territory. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

Does the Field-Tested Yorkshire look worn?

Somewhat. Because it's a gloss finish, the shine dulls noticeably and you'll spot light scratching on the edges and hardware. Even so, the bronze-and-gold coat still reads clearly metallic at a glance in-game, and for a shotgun that's often holstered on your model it presents perfectly well.

Is Field-Tested the best value grade?

For most buyers, yes. It costs less than Factory New (FN) and Minimal Wear (MW) while keeping the bronze-and-gold look distinctly metallic, and it's a plentiful grade on the market. If you want to save more, Well-Worn (WW) and Battle-Scarred (BS) go cheaper still, at the cost of more dulling and visible wear.

What collection is the Nova | Yorkshire from?

It's part of The Sport & Field Collection, introduced with The Armory update in October 2024. The finish sits at Mil-Spec, the collection's most common rarity, and since the set never shipped inside a weapon case, copies are earned through drops and trade-ups rather than unboxing.
