About the Nova | Rising Skull
The Nova | Rising Skull was added in December 2013, in The Winter Offensive Collection. In CS2 it still uses the legacy weapon model.
“The Nova's rock-bottom price tag makes it a great ambush weapon for a cash-strapped team. It has been customized with an image of a skull using matte paints and an oil-based paint marker.”
