The Quick Sand uses a Hydrographic finish technique (paint index #929). A specialized water-transfer printing technique used to apply intricate, detailed patterns and designs. The process allows for highly complex images and textures to be wrapped onto the weapon's surface, giving it a unique and vibrant appearance that stands out from other styles. This skin currently uses the legacy CS:GO model.
The Nova's rock-bottom price tag makes it a great ambush weapon for a cash-strapped team. A tan and blue hydrographic pattern has been applied to the stock and receiver. The barrel has been painted dark blue.
The Nova is classified as a heavy in CS2 , available in-game for $1,050. Base damage output is 26 with a fire rate of 68 RPM. See all Nova skins for additional options.
