The Nova | Clear Polymer (Minimal Wear) is the CS:GO equivalent of wrapping a budget shotgun in bubble wrap and calling it “tactical.” This skin slaps a glossy, translucent polymer shell over the Nova, making it look like a toy you’d fish out of a cereal box—if cereal boxes came with guns. Minimal Wear means it’s seen a few scuffles but still maintains that “I just left the factory, probably” sheen. It’s perfect for players who want their eco-round desperation to feel vaguely futuristic. Just don’t expect the enemy team to respect your drip when you’re still getting one-tapped by a Desert Eagle. Stylish? Sure. Practical? Well… it’s a Nova.
