★ Karambit | Autotronic (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Karambit | Autotronic in CS2 is a karambit with red anodizing and a light steel edge. Battle-Scarred (BS) is its longest wear: a band of 0.40 out of 0.85, which is 47% of the finish's scale, and the scale itself ends at 0.85. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. In float terms this wear runs from 0.45 to 0.85.

What the ★ Karambit | Autotronic looks like in Battle-Scarred

The upper part of the blade is anodized red, and toward the edge the red gives way to light steel with a white gleam. The handle is dark gray: oval mesh inserts sit in the finger grooves, and the ring is steel. Valve's own explanation names red anodizing and a steel mesh for lighter weight.

In Battle-Scarred, the red anodizing and the steel edge carry more scuffs than in any other wear of this finish. Wear is set at drop and never changes over time. Inside the 0.45 to 0.85 band, copies differ noticeably from one another.

What to check before buying

Copies of the ★ Karambit | Autotronic differ in these respects:

• float: the number matters more than the label, because the 0.45 to 0.85 band holds very different looks, and the closer to 0.45, the more of the red paint survives;


• artwork: it is fixed and the same on every copy;


• name tag: it can be applied and the text stays on the item, while the knife has no stickers;


• wear in the listing: other wears are separate listings.

What the ★ Karambit | Autotronic costs in Battle-Scarred

The finish's other wears all cost more: Factory New 2.16 times, Minimal Wear 1.47 times, Field-Tested 1.16 times, Well-Worn 1.15 times.

Among the eighteen Karambit finishes that have Battle-Scarred, Autotronic is priced highest. Closest to it are Blue Steel (about 10 percent lower), Damascus Steel, Case Hardened, Black Laminate and Crimson Web. The bottom of the row is Boreal Forest, Safari Mesh and Forest DDPAT, which cost almost half as much.

Getting the ★ Karambit | Autotronic

A Karambit with this finish drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case, with a random wear. There is also a craft: five Covert skins of one type, all normal or all StatTrak, give a random rare special item from the collections of the input skins. Model and finish cannot be chosen there, so a specific karambit in a specific wear is bought as a ready-made listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

Yes, the Karambit | Autotronic has a StatTrak version in the game. Knives never come as Souvenir.

Who this wear suits

The ★ Karambit | Autotronic is worth buying in Battle-Scarred when:

• you want a red karambit and would rather pick how scuffed it is by the float number;


• you want a finish from the upper part of the Karambit row: in this wear, no finish of the model ranks above Autotronic;


• your CS2 loadout is red with dark gray, and the red karambit blade becomes its main spot of color.
