Nova Walnut
About Nova Walnut
Nova Walnut applies a traditional hunting-shotgun look to the Nova, pairing a figured walnut stock and pump with a simple blued barrel and receiver. Among Nova skins in CS2, it stands out for its restrained, realistic finish rather than bright colors or graphic artwork.

Float Range & Wear
The Nova Walnut is available in all conditions, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred. The higher the float value, the more scratches and wear will be visible on the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nova Walnut works best with understated stickers that match its brown wood and black metal finish. Good options include FURIA (Gold) Krakow 2017, Team Dignitas (Gold) Cologne 2014, Ninjas in Pyjamas (Gold) Cologne 2014, and ESL One Cologne 2014 (Gold) if you want a souvenir-style look. For a cleaner craft, use smaller gold or bronze event stickers rather than bright holo effects that clash with the natural wood pattern.
Yes, Nova Walnut can drop as a Souvenir skin from Inferno souvenir packages tied to several Major tournaments. Examples include ESL One Cologne 2014 Inferno Souvenir Package, MLG Columbus 2016 Inferno Souvenir Package, and Boston 2018 Inferno Souvenir Package. Souvenir versions are more relevant to collectors because they can include event-linked sticker placements from those tournament drops.
Nova Walnut is part of The Inferno Collection. That means it is associated with the Inferno map pool and appears in Inferno souvenir packages from multiple CS:GO Major events. Collection origin matters to collectors because it determines how the skin enters the market and which souvenir versions exist.
Nova Walnut is generally considered a budget-friendly shotgun skin because it is a Consumer Grade collection item with a simple finish and broad availability. Its appeal is less about rarity and more about a grounded, realistic look that fits older Counter-Strike weapon finishes. If you want a low-cost Nova skin without bright colors or heavy artwork, it is one of the more straightforward options.
