The Nova | Rising Skull is a Restricted-tier shotgun finish in Counter-Strike 2, originally introduced as part of The Winter Offensive Collection when the Winter Offensive Weapon Case launched in December 2013.

The float range for this finish is restricted to 0.00–0.50, so Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred are the only obtainable conditions on the open market. The restricted range is set by Valve at the time of release.

A StatTrak™ version is available, which tracks confirmed kills made while the skin is equipped and typically commands a premium over the standard finish. Active listings for Nova | Rising Skull are tracked across 17 marketplaces, with prices spanning $4.12 to $145.18 depending on wear, variant, and seller.
