Patch | Metal Gold Nova

Patch | Metal Gold Nova is a patch item designed by Valve and released December 3rd, 2020. It is presented as a patch category cosmetic intended to be applied to agent models and carries a rarity profile that is not publicly specified here.

As a patch, this item attaches to an agent model as a cosmetic accent. It does not affect gameplay; it simply occupies a patch slot on an equipped agent and shows to teammates and opponents when the agent model is visible.

This patch sits in the budget tier of the market, so it trades below higher-end collectibles and premium cosmetics. For a seller that means it is an easy, lower-friction piece to offload compared with mid or premium items, but it will not command the premiums those categories do.

The item was released December 3rd, 2020 and carries Valve as the credited designer. That release timestamp anchors provenance and is the primary origin detail collectors use when separating similar patches.

Players apply Patch | Metal Gold Nova to an agent patch slot where it functions as a small identity accent tied to the agent model. It is swappable and visible during play, the sort of cosmetic players use to personalize loadouts without altering weapons or agent animations.

If you hold this patch you can sell it through the Steam-authenticated checkout for instant USD; the page shows the current live market price in the price block. Use that price block to confirm the going rate before completing the sale.

Collectors looking at this Patch | Metal Gold Nova will weigh its Valve provenance, the fact it is a patch rather than a sticker or skin, and its budget-tier positioning. Those factors make it a low-cost way to flesh out thematic agent sets, and occasional scarcity on a thin market can add modest long-term appeal for a patient holder.
