Nova | Wood Fired

Nova | Wood Fired is a CS2 shotgun skin with green woodgrain, blue accents, and dark flame motifs. Its Gunsmith finish combines timber-like patterning with mostly dark metal parts. The look suits players building a green-themed loadout or seeking a densely patterned shotgun. All listed exteriors are available, alongside regular, StatTrak™ and Souvenir versions.

Description

The Nova | Wood Fired is a CS2 skin for the Nova, a shotgun in the Heavy weapon category. Its Gunsmith finish gives the receiver, fore-end, and stock a yellow-green woodgrain appearance. Dark flames spread across these surfaces, with curling shapes making the stock especially distinctive. Blue accents add another color along the barrel's upper edge and within the patterned areas. Mostly dark metal fittings keep the design concentrated on the body rather than covering every surface equally. This combination suits players who prefer textured, multicolored weapon finishes with a clear wood-based theme. Buyers can select an exterior and exact float to match their preferred cosmetic condition. Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir copies provide separate version choices when comparing listings to buy, sell, or trade.

History and Origin

Nova | Wood Fired was released on December 6, 2018, alongside the Danger Zone Case. Its arrival formed part of the Danger Zone Case Skins update. Steam Workshop community designer XAKI created the finish. The skin belongs to The Danger Zone Collection, linking its collection identity to its original case release. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, ending new Danger Zone Case drops. Existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened, preserving that acquisition route despite the retirement. The Steam Community Market also offers direct purchases of existing copies without requiring a case opening. Player-to-player trades provide another way to obtain the skin, with exterior and version distinguishing the available copies.

Finish Style

Wood Fired uses the Gunsmith finish style to combine patterned surfaces with dark metal components. A yellow-green woodgrain base covers the receiver, ribbed fore-end, and stock. Darker grain lines run through that base, giving the colored areas a timber-like texture. Burned-in flame shapes overlay the grain and create dark silhouettes against the green. The stock carries larger curling motifs, making its pattern particularly noticeable. Blue accents trace the top of the barrel and appear among the patterned surfaces. The barrel, trigger guard, and front metal fittings remain mostly dark, interrupted by small bright metallic highlights. Dense decoration across the body and stock contrasts with the comparatively plain length of the barrel.

Float Value

The Nova | Wood Fired float value ranges from 0.00 to 0.75. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred, with no exterior missing from that lineup. StatTrak and Souvenir versions are also available, but version choice is separate from a copy's float and cosmetic condition.

Rarity and Popularity

Nova | Wood Fired has the Mil-Spec Grade rarity classification. Its chance of appearing when opening a Danger Zone Case is 11.42%, or about 1 in 9 drops. Professional owners include tarik, mixwell, and SmithZz, providing ownership evidence without establishing a market-wide demand trend.

Why it’s Popular:

• Green woodgrain with distinctive burned-in flame motifs

• Blue accents break up the darker patterned surfaces

• Broad exterior choice, from Factory New to Battle-Scarred

• Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir versions offer different ownership options

Price Range

The live Nova | Wood Fired CS2 skin price range is $0.14 to $52.69. These bounds cover the whole item, not a fixed exterior or version. Exterior and exact float help distinguish the condition of individual listings. Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir copies should be compared separately rather than assumed to share a price. Check those details against the listing price before choosing a copy to buy or setting an asking price to sell.

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 Danger Zone Case

Opening a Danger Zone Case gives an 11.42% chance of obtaining Nova | Wood Fired. The case no longer drops, but existing cases can still be bought on the market and opened.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

Nova | Wood Fired can be bought directly on the Steam Community Market without opening a case. Compare the listed exterior, exact float, and version before choosing a copy, rather than relying on the finish name alone.

4. Trade with Other Players

Nova | Wood Fired can also be obtained through trades with other players. Confirm the offered copy's exterior, float, and regular, StatTrak, or Souvenir status before agreeing to an exchange.

Trading and Investment Considerations

The Danger Zone Case no longer drops, limiting replenishment of that case source while existing cases remain openable. Wood Fired's modest price level and 11.42% case chance do not establish a strong scarcity-based argument for short-term flips. Traders should compare available versions carefully, since professional ownership alone does not demonstrate broad resale demand or reliable liquidity.

Reasons it Holds Value

• Retired case source with no new case drops

• Professional ownership by tarik, mixwell, and SmithZz

• Distinctive green woodgrain and burned-in flame design

• Regular, StatTrak, and Souvenir ownership options

The investment rating is medium, balancing a retired case source and professional ownership against modest prices and Mil-Spec Grade rarity. The main risk is uncertain resale demand: case retirement does not establish price appreciation, and existing cases can still produce additional copies.
