Nova | Sobek's Bite (Battle-Scarred)

Nova | Sobek's Bite is a CS:GO (legacy) weapon skin that continues to be available in Counter-Strike 2 for players who want a distinctive aesthetic on the Nova. As part of the Anubis Collection, it carries a region-inspired theme that aligns with the broader case art and collection identity introduced through official container releases.

With Restricted rarity, Sobek's Bite sits above the most common grades while still being more attainable than high-tier rarities. While exact drop rates are not publicly guaranteed for each skin, Restricted items generally have a lower likelihood than Mil-Spec and Classified tiers. The skin’s presence across multiple Anubis-themed containers can make it easier to track for players actively opening those drops rather than relying on direct marketplace hunting.

You can obtain this skin in multiple wear states, ranging from Factory New (float range 0 – 1) down through Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, and Battle-Scarred. StatTrak™ is not available for this version, but Souvenir is available, giving collectors an additional route to ownership through event-themed packages.

Visually, Sobek's Bite is defined by its Sobek's Bite finish and pattern, using paint index 1247. The pattern styling is designed to feel cohesive and characterful on the Nova’s compact silhouette—making it stand out in loadouts where players want an eye-catching finish without moving into the highest rarity brackets.

For acquisition, Nova | Sobek's Bite is tied directly to the The Anubis Collection and appears in several Anubis-related containers, including the Anubis Collection Package, Paris 2023 Anubis Souvenir Package, Copenhagen 2024 Anubis Souvenir Package, Shanghai 2024 Anubis Souvenir Package, and the Austin 2025 Anubis Souvenir Package. It’s also listed under the Austin 2025 Anubis Souvenir Highlight Package, which is commonly used by players looking specifically for souvenir variants.

In the community, this skin is generally appreciated for its themed look, collection ties, and the fact that it remains accessible compared to rare specialty drops. Players who focus on themed collections—especially Anubis—often value Sobek’s Bite as a solid “middle-high” option for Nova builds, balancing visual identity with Restricted rarity status.
