★ Karambit | Autotronic (Factory New)

Anodized red on the blade and bright steel along the edge: that is the ★ Karambit | Autotronic in CS2. Factory New (FN) takes only 8% of its scale, a band of 0.07 out of 0.85, and each of the other four wears is longer. The knife is Covert rank, with the ★ mark, and its float runs from 0.00 to 0.07. It is found in the Gamma Case and in the Gamma 2 Case.

What the ★ Karambit | Autotronic looks like in Factory New

The blade is red at the top and steel at the edge, and the border between color and metal runs as a smooth gradient. The handle is gray-black with mesh inserts in the finger grooves, and the ring is light metal. Valve's description says the red comes from anodizing and the mesh is there to lighten the knife.

In Factory New the red anodized layer and the bright edge are untouched. Neither blade nor handle has the scuffs that appear in the following wears. The condition is fixed at drop and does not accumulate.

What to check before buying

Between listings of the ★ Karambit | Autotronic the differences come down to this:

• float: there is almost nothing to choose from, because the band of 0.00 to 0.07 is short;


• artwork: it stays unchanged from one listing to the next;


• name tag: the knife takes one but has no sticker slots, so only the inscription needs checking;


• wear in the listing title: Factory New is sold as a separate product from Minimal Wear.

What the ★ Karambit | Autotronic costs in Factory New

Each of the other wears of this finish costs less: Minimal Wear by 1.47 times, Field-Tested by 1.86 times, Well-Worn by 1.88 times and Battle-Scarred by 2.16 times.

Among thirty-three Karambit finishes priced in this wear, Autotronic stands in the upper half: eighteen are cheaper and fourteen are dearer. A little above come Gamma Doppler Phase 3, Boreal Forest and Fade. A hair below is Gamma Doppler Phase 4, and noticeably lower is Scorched. The gems sit at the summit: Gamma Doppler Emerald, Doppler Ruby and Doppler Black Pearl.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Autotronic

Inside the game this finish comes from two cases, the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. A trade-up from five Covert skins of one type is also possible, but it returns a random item with the ★ mark from the collections of the inputs. Neither model nor finish can be set, and a specific wear is easier to take as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

The ★ Karambit | Autotronic also comes with StatTrak in the game. Souvenir versions of knives do not exist.

Who this wear suits

The ★ Karambit | Autotronic in Factory New is worth buying for these reasons:

• you want an untouched red blade without a single scuff on the anodizing;


• choosing by float does not matter, since on the short band of 0.00 to 0.07 the copies look identical;


• you are building a CS2 loadout around a red knife, where Factory New gives the cleanest color.
