Visual Description
Quick Sand coats the Nova in a pale tan finish with subtle grain-like texture reminiscent of shifting desert sand. Soft brown accents and irregular shading give the weapon a sunbaked, rugged appearance. Low floats offer a cleaner matte surface, while higher floats introduce scuffs and discoloration that enhance the impression of a shotgun exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.

Price depends on float condition, texture visibility, and supply within the market. Lower floats often attract more attention due to their cleaner finish, while higher floats appeal to players seeking a more rugged, weathered aesthetic. Trends in desert or military-theme inventory building can also influence demand.
