The Tempest uses a Hydrographic finish technique (paint index #191). 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. This memento from Seaside has been painted with a wave and cloud motif hydrographic.
