The Predator uses a Spray-Paint finish technique (paint index #170). This finish mimics the look of a spray-painted weapon, often with rough, uneven edges and color transitions. The technique can range from graffiti-like freehand designs to more organized stencil work, providing a rugged, street-art aesthetic to the weapon's surface. This skin uses the updated CS2 model.
The Nova's rock-bottom price tag makes it a great ambush weapon for a cash-strapped team. It has been spray-painted in a zebra stripe pattern.
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.
