Souvenir Nova | Sand Dune (Minimal Wear)

The Nova's rock-bottom price tag makes it a great ambush weapon for a cash-strapped team. It has individual parts spray-painted solid colors in a sand dune color scheme. With Turner dead, we have a new priority: rescue Alex Kincaide - Felix Riley, Commanding Officer
