Nova | Bloomstick

Nova | Bloomstick is a CS2 shotgun skin with bright red surfaces, cherry blossom artwork, and a glossy finish. Dark branches and pale flowers decorate the receiver and stock, contrasting with the mostly black front assembly. Its floral look suits players building a red loadout or looking for a nature-inspired weapon finish. It comes in Factory New through Battle-Scarred, with standard, StatTrak™, and Souvenir versions available.

Description

Nova | Bloomstick brings a cherry blossom Custom Paint Job to the Nova shotgun in CS2. The Heavy weapon is positioned for ambush play when a team has limited funds. Its red receiver and stock give the artwork a vivid background, while the dark barrel and pump keep the front visually restrained. Branches, flower clusters, and scattered petals create detail across the rear rather than covering every component. A glossy surface adds another contrast between the decorated body and the plain front assembly. The combination suits players who prefer floral artwork with a strong color accent instead of an entirely patterned weapon. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir options let buyers choose both a finish and a version that fits their collection. Before selecting a copy, buyers can compare its exterior, exact float value, and inspection image rather than relying on the item name alone.

History and Origin

Nova | Bloomstick was released on July 10, 2014, alongside the eSports 2014 Summer Case. Its introduction was part of the eSports 2014 Summer Case Skins update. Valve created the finish, rather than a community designer. The skin belongs to The eSports 2014 Summer Collection, which also provides its Trade Up Contract route. Its original case remains an opening route today, although historic release and current case availability are separate considerations. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025. As of October 9, 2026, the eSports 2014 Summer Case no longer drops, so new cases do not replenish its supply. Existing cases can still be purchased and opened, while finished copies can be bought directly or acquired through player trades.

Finish Style

The Custom Paint Job combines hand-airbrushed floral artwork with a high-gloss topcoat. Bright red covers the receiver and stock, establishing the main background for the cherry blossom motif. Dark branching lines cross those red sections and connect clusters of pink and pale flowers. Smaller petal-like shapes sit around the branches, adding detail beyond the larger blossom clusters. The barrel and tubular magazine remain dark gray to black, separating the front assembly from the decorated rear. The ribbed pump grip also stays dark and largely plain, keeping the floral treatment concentrated away from the weapon's front. A dark butt pad finishes the stock without extending the red artwork across its end. Together, the glossy red surfaces, delicate blossoms, and darker components give Bloomstick a clear contrast between ornamental and restrained areas.

Float Value

Nova | Bloomstick has a float range of 0.06 to 0.80. Its available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, so none of those exterior categories is missing. Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions are available; version availability is separate from a particular copy's exterior and cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

Nova | Bloomstick is a Classified skin in The eSports 2014 Summer Collection. Its stated chance from the eSports 2014 Summer Case is 0.8%, making an opening a chance-based route rather than a direct purchase. Documented professional owners include dupreeh, n0thing, and YEKINDAR, providing ownership evidence without establishing broader market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Cherry blossom artwork against a bright red background

• Glossy rear surfaces contrast with the dark front assembly

• Available across every listed exterior

• Standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir collecting options

Price Range

The live Nova | Bloomstick price range is $8.98 to $444.10. These bounds cover the whole skin and are not fixed prices for a particular exterior or version. Exterior and exact float help distinguish individual copies within the available condition categories. Compare standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir listings separately rather than treating their version labels as interchangeable. When assessing a CS2 skin price, check the listing's version, condition, and inspection image alongside the asking amount.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open the eSports 2014 Summer Case

Opening the eSports 2014 Summer Case offers a 0.8% chance of receiving Nova | Bloomstick. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened. Opening offers a chance at the skin, not a guaranteed result.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract can exchange 10 Restricted skins from The eSports 2014 Summer Collection for 1 Classified skin from that collection. Bloomstick is a possible outcome, but the result is random among the collection's Classified skins.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Nova | Bloomstick can be purchased directly through the Steam Community Market without relying on a case opening. Check the listing's exterior and version, then inspect the individual copy where possible before buying.

5. Trade with Other Players

Player-to-player trading offers another route to Nova | Bloomstick through an agreed item exchange. Confirm the offered copy's exterior, float, and version before accepting, especially when comparing standard, StatTrak, and Souvenir items.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The retired case limits new case supply, but existing cases and Trade Up Contracts can still produce the skin. Professional ownership provides some visibility, yet market depth and long-term price trends remain uncertain. Before deciding to buy, sell, or trade, compare the available versions and individual floats rather than assuming every Bloomstick has the same resale prospects.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Original case no longer receives new drops

• Documented ownership by professional players

• Distinctive red cherry blossom artwork

• StatTrak and Souvenir options support collecting variety

The investment rating is medium, supported by retired case supply, documented professional ownership, and a distinctive Valve-created finish. The main risk is uncertain resale demand, since ownership evidence does not establish consistent buyer interest or future price growth. Existing case openings and Trade Up Contracts also mean the skin's supply is not fixed.
