★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic (Battle-Scarred)

This is the ★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic in Battle-Scarred (BS), the cheapest wear of the finish: the other four cost more. The CS2 butterfly knife, Covert rank, with the ★ mark, is in the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The float runs between 0.45 and 0.85. The finish's scale ends at 0.85, not 1.00, so Battle-Scarred takes 47% of the whole scale.

What the ★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic looks like in Battle-Scarred

The top of the blade is light polished steel, passing toward the heel into a dark red anodized zone that also climbs onto the serrated stretch by the guard. The handles are graphite gray, with a steel mesh in diamonds. There is one red on this knife: the anodizing on the blade and the latch hook.

In Battle-Scarred, wear shows across all the steel: this is the most worn of the five wears. The float value is recorded at drop and never changes, so a knife at 0.45 stays at 0.45 for good.

Where the ★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic came from

The finish came out with Operation Riptide, which Valve opened on September 22, 2021. Besides the operation's case, the knife is in the Dreams & Nightmares Case. Valve describes the model as a balisong whose blade fans open on freely spinning handles.

What to check before buying

Before buying the ★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic, check a few points:

• float: search by the number, not by the wear label. The 0.45 to 0.85 band is wide, and a knife at 0.46 is noticeably less worn than one at 0.84;


• name tag: a name can be applied to Autotronic, while the knife has no stickers;


• edition: the StatTrak version of Autotronic sits in the catalog as a separate item.

Copies of the ★ Butterfly Knife | Autotronic differ only in wear: the pattern is shared.
