★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic in Battle-Scarred (BS) has the longest band of any wear of this finish: 0.45 to 0.85, which is 0.40 of the 0.85 total float. It is a Covert rank knife, with the ★ mark, and it drops in CS2 from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. This is the cheapest of the finish's five wears, and every other wear costs more.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic looks like in Battle-Scarred

The upper blade is flooded with red anodizing, and light steel is left along the edge. The fuller holds a mesh insert that Valve describes as lightening the knife. There is a round hole near the point and saw-tooth serrations on the spine. The handle and guard are gray and ribbed, with a ring at the base of the blade.

This is the bottom edge of the scale: wear here is the deepest the finish allows. It is written into the item at drop and does not change afterward. A listing at 0.46 and a listing at 0.84 are therefore two different knives under one name. The 0.45 to 0.85 band is long, and the extreme copies differ noticeably.

Phase and pattern

The artwork on the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic is applied identically across the whole run. This finish has no phases or gems, as Doppler does, so you pick a copy by float, not by pattern.

What to check before buying

Three things separate one Battle-Scarred listing from another:

• float: anything from 0.45 to 0.85, and the scuffing differs between the upper and lower ends;


• name tag: the knife accepts a custom name, and it is better to see the text before paying;


• stickers: the knife has none, so only float and name vary from listing to listing.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic costs in Battle-Scarred

Every other wear costs more than Battle-Scarred: Factory New 2.01 times, Minimal Wear 1.39 times, Field-Tested 1.16 times, Well-Worn 1.13 times.

Getting the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic

The knife drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case, and the wear is assigned at random. The second route is a craft: five Covert skins of one type, all normal or all StatTrak, return a random rare special item from the collections of the input skins. You cannot choose the model or the finish, so the exact bayonet is available only as a ready-made listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

StatTrak exists for this knife too: the game has a kill-counter edition of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic.

Who this wear suits

Buying this wear of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic makes sense for three reasons:

• you want a red bayonet with a gray handle at the lowest price of the five wears;


• wear does not bother you: in CS2 the knife sits in the inventory and shows in the inspect view, and it does not change how you play;


• you want an item from the upper part of the Covert M9 Bayonet row without paying the Factory New price.
