Nova | Green Apple

Nova | Green Apple is a CS2 shotgun skin with a bright green and black Solid Color finish. Its apple-green receiver and stock contrast with dark barrel components and a ribbed pump grip. The simple design suits players who prefer bold color without illustrated artwork. Buyers can choose regular or Souvenir versions in Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested.

Description

Nova | Green Apple gives the Nova shotgun a bright, uncomplicated finish within CS2's Heavy weapon category. Green covers the receiver and stock, making the central body and rear of the weapon visually distinctive. Dark barrel components provide contrast without adding graphics or decorative patterns. The ribbed pump brings physical texture to a design otherwise built around smooth blocks of color. This look suits green-themed loadouts and players who prefer a restrained design with a vivid palette. Known professional owners include tarik, chrisJ and yam, although ownership alone does not establish wider market demand. Regular and Souvenir editions offer different ownership options, while no StatTrak™ version exists. Buyers can compare the edition, exterior, float value and appearance of individual listings before choosing a copy to play with or trade.

History and Origin

Nova | Green Apple arrived on July 1, 2014, as part of the Operation Breakout update. It belongs to The Cobblestone Collection, which connects its origins and collection-based acquisition routes to that item pool. Valve created the finish, rather than a community designer. Its Souvenir editions are associated with 10 packages, providing another route to the skin beyond collection-based Trade Up Contracts. Examples include ESL One Cologne 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package and DreamHack 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package. Today, existing copies can be bought on the Steam Community Market or exchanged through player-to-player trades. Trade Up Contracts also offer a chance at the finish using eligible Consumer Grade items from The Cobblestone Collection.

Finish Style

Green Apple uses the Solid Color finish style, with separate weapon parts painted in contrasting tones. The receiver and stock carry the bright apple-green color that defines the skin's appearance. Green also reaches the trigger guard and front sight mount, extending the palette beyond the main body. The long barrel and magazine tube are black or dark gray, forming a darker line toward the muzzle. The ribbed pump grip and butt pad continue those dark tones at the front and rear. Small fittings near the front of the pump appear silver-gray, adding a metallic detail between the larger painted sections. Ribbing on the pump and grip provides texture without relying on printed artwork. With no visible patterned graphics, the overall character comes from color placement, contrast and the Nova's existing shape.

Float Value

Nova | Green Apple has an exact float range of 0.00 to 0.30. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested, with no Well-Worn or Battle-Scarred copies. Souvenir versions are available; this edition distinction is separate from a copy's float value and cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

Nova | Green Apple is Industrial Grade, a rarity classification distinct from its exterior condition or Souvenir status. Its acquisition chance from The Cobblestone Collection is 4.0%, or about 1 in 25 results, rather than a probability established for every acquisition route. Professional ownership by tarik, chrisJ and yam supports its visibility, but does not measure how readily it sells.

Why it’s Popular:

• Bright apple-green body with contrasting dark components

• Simple finish without illustrated artwork or patterned graphics

• Regular and Souvenir versions offer different collecting options

• Connection to The Cobblestone Collection

Price Range

The live Nova | Green Apple price range is $5.27 to $19.19. These bounds cover the whole skin, not a fixed exterior or edition. Compare Factory New, Minimal Wear and Field-Tested listings separately, then check each copy's actual float value. Regular and Souvenir versions should also be distinguished rather than treated as interchangeable listings. When comparing the CS2 skin price across offers, match the item details and inspect the copy instead of choosing from the range alone.

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 a Souvenir Package

Open a compatible Cobblestone Souvenir Package for a chance at a Souvenir Nova | Green Apple. Package options include ESL One Cologne 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package and DreamHack 2014 Cobblestone Souvenir Package, but opening a package is not a direct purchase of this skin.

3. Trade Up Contracts

A Trade Up Contract exchanges 10 Consumer Grade skins from The Cobblestone Collection for 1 Industrial Grade skin from the same collection. Nova | Green Apple is a possible result, but the outcome is random among that collection's Industrial Grade skins. This route targets the collection's result pool rather than guaranteeing the Green Apple finish.

4. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Buy an existing Nova | Green Apple through the Steam Community Market to select the skin directly rather than pursue a random result. Compare the exterior and whether the listing is regular or Souvenir before purchasing. The selected listing determines which copy is being bought, so its item details matter more than the finish name alone.

5. Trade with Other Players

Nova | Green Apple can also be obtained through a trade with another player. Check the offered copy's float, exterior and regular or Souvenir status before accepting, so the item received matches the intended edition and condition.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The regular and Souvenir versions give traders distinct editions to compare alongside each copy's exterior and float value. Professional ownership provides visibility, but trading volume and supply evidence are insufficient to establish how quickly copies sell or whether availability is tightening. Buy, sell and trade decisions should therefore focus on the actual listing rather than treating the collection name as proof of scarcity.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Connection to The Cobblestone Collection

• Owned by tarik, chrisJ and yam

• Distinctive apple-green and black color scheme

• Regular and Souvenir editions offer different collecting options

The medium investment rating is speculative, with insufficient supply and resale-demand evidence to establish investment strength. Its collection connection, professional ownership and edition choices offer collecting appeal, not evidence of rising prices or consistent resale demand. The main risk is uncertain resale interest, so a purchase should remain worthwhile as a playable skin without depending on future gains.
