★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water (Field-Tested)

This is the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water in Field-Tested (FT), where the kill counter runs on blue-and-light-blue camouflage. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In CS2 it comes out of two cases, Operation Riptide and Dreams & Nightmares. This wear is allotted the band from 0.15 to 0.38 of the 0.00 to 0.50 scale.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water looks like in Field-Tested

A digital camouflage lies across the blade: patches of pale blue haze, cobalt blue and dark indigo mixed together. The handles are dark blue, with a saturated blue inlay in the middle of each. The latch and the hardware are dark too.

Blue camouflage hides marks better than solid paint does. In Field-Tested the scuffs are visible but drown in the patches. Wear is fixed at the drop.

Where the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water came from

The knife arrived with the Operation Riptide Case; the operation itself was announced by Valve on September 22, 2021. The finish later reached the Dreams & Nightmares Case as well, so one case is not the whole story.

Phase and pattern

Every copy of the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water carries the same pattern. The finish has no phases and no gems, and the difference between listings comes down to float and the number on the counter.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water, a few points are worth checking:

• float: on the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water the 0.15 to 0.38 band is wide, so the wear label is one while the condition varies;


• the kill counter figure: it stays with the knife;


• applied name: a name tag can be put on it.

There are no sticker slots on a knife.

What the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water costs in Field-Tested

The wear ladder of this version is uneven. Factory New costs 1.31 times as much, Minimal Wear 1.16 times. Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, oddly, stand above Field-Tested by a fifth and a sixth. The StatTrak version is priced level with the regular one.

Among eighteen Covert StatTrak Butterfly Knives with a price in this wear, Bright Water sits below the middle: five are cheaper and twelve are dearer. Freehand is higher by about 8%, Night by 6%. Urban Masked, Scorched and Forest DDPAT are lower by 7 to 12%. The dearest are Blue Steel, Case Hardened and Slaughter.

Getting the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water

The StatTrak version drops from the same two cases as the regular one. A craft is assembled from five Covert skins, and all five must be StatTrak. What comes out is a random rare special item from the collections of the skins put in, with the model and finish not chosen.

StatTrak and Souvenir

If you do not need the counter, the regular Bright Water is a separate item at almost the same price. Knives cannot be Souvenir at all. The counter cannot be reset: the StatTrak Swap Tool only exchanges the readings of two items of the same type.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ StatTrak™ Butterfly Knife | Bright Water in Field-Tested makes sense when:

• you want a blue camouflage Butterfly Knife with a kill counter;


• your CS2 loadout is built on cool blue tones, and scuffs hidden by the camouflage do not bother you;


• float spread matters to you: a wide band leaves something to choose from.
