Souvenir 新星 | 沙丘之黄 (战痕累累)

The Souvenir Nova | Sand Dune is a relatively plain and modest skin with a desert-like dull tan color. It is part of the Dust 2 Collection, and was introduced in 2013.

The skin is a 'Consumer Grade' rarity which implies it has a high drop chance. However, its 'Souvenir' status marks it as a rare and special item among its category.

Introduced in the early stages of CS:GO's skin marketplace, the Souvenir Nova | Sand Dune has been a constant, yet understated presence in the game's economy since 2013.

Although not particularly popular for its aesthetic, it has become somewhat of a meme within the CS:GO community due to its simplicity and relatively low value.

This skin is exclusively designed for the Nova shotgun.

The Souvenir Nova | Sand Dune doesn't boast any striking qualities but its simplicity is part of its charm among a certain set of players.

As with all souvenir skins, it was dropped during an official Valve CS:GO major event, signified by a set of stickers that are automatically applied to the skin.

The skin has become a popular item for players to use for joke or troll trades because of its value discrepancy against other Souvenir skins.

Designed by Valve.

The sandy texture and color of the skin perfectly represent its moniker 'Sand Dune'.

It's a mediocre skin in terms of community ratings due to its lackluster design, but has gained infamy due to its inherent meme value.

Released in one of the earliest collections, the skin stands as a nostalgic item that also offers a 'souvenir' of major CS:GO esports events.

Its popularity comes more from its humorous status in the community rather than any inherent visual appeal.

Its status as a 'Souvenir' means it's tied to the major CS:GO tournaments during which it has been dropped.

The simple concept, texture, and shading were created to give it a weathered and desert-like outlook to match its namesake.

It subtly represents the rugged and harsh conditions of desert warfare.

Its distinctive status as a comical item in the CS:GO community gives players a unique amusement and attachment to the skin.

Its meme status has contributed to the lighthearted and humorous side of the CS:GO community.

Although it's not commonly seen in professional matches, it is often associated with the major tournaments due to its status as a souvenir drop.

Known more for the funny stories related to its use in memes and jokes than for epic gameplay moments, the Souvenir Nova | Sand Dune brings a cheerful aspect to the game narrative.
