The Nova | Caged Steel (Field-Tested) is like that one friend who shows up to a black-tie event in a tuxedo T-shirt. The design’s industrial-chic cage pattern screams “I’m here to protect the VIP… or maybe just camp B-site.” Field-Tested wear adds a layer of “I’ve seen some things” grit, with scratches that suggest it’s been dragged through every Dust II smoke grenade known to man. It’s the shotgun equivalent of a dad bod: not the flashiest, but reliable enough when you need to hold a tight angle. Just don’t expect it to impress the MAG-7 elitists—this Nova’s more about humble vibes and budget plays.
