★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic (Minimal Wear)

The ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic in Minimal Wear (MW) covers a float band of 0.07 to 0.15, which is 9% of the 0.00 to 0.85 scale. It is a Covert rank knife, with the ★ mark: a red CS2 bayonet from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. By price this wear ranks second, behind Factory New.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic looks like in Minimal Wear

The blade is a saturated, anodized red. The steel edge is light and shiny, and the insert in the fuller looks like a fine metal mesh. The handle is gray with a raised grip texture, there is a round hole near the point, and the spine carries serrations.

Float climbs to 0.15 here, so there can be more signs of use than on Factory New, but the scale stays tight. Wear is written into the knife when it drops and never changes afterward. In this wear the band spans 0.07 to 0.15.

Phase and pattern

Every copy of the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic carries the same pattern. Only float tells copies apart, and the gems and phases of Doppler do not apply here.

What to check before buying

Choosing a specific copy comes down to three points:

• float: you can buy almost blind, because the 0.07 to 0.15 band is tight;


• name tag: the bayonet supports one, and the text stays on the item;


• wear named in the listing: Factory New is 1.45 times pricier, and that is a different listing.

What the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic costs in Minimal Wear

Factory New costs 1.45 times as much as Minimal Wear. Going down the scale the price falls: Field-Tested is 1.20 times cheaper, Well-Worn 1.23 times, Battle-Scarred 1.39 times.

Among Covert M9 Bayonet finishes this one sits nearer the middle: seventeen cost less and eleven cost more. Just above it are Marble Fade and Crimson Web, and just below are Lore, Slaughter and Tiger Tooth. The top of the row is Gamma Doppler Phase 2, Doppler Phase 3 and Gamma Doppler Emerald. The row ends at the bottom with Safari Mesh, Forest DDPAT and Boreal Forest.

Getting the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic

Both the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case can give this finish, in any of the five wears. A trade-up contract works too: five Covert skins of one type turn into a knife or gloves of random model and finish, so it never guarantees a red bayonet.

Is there a StatTrak version

Yes. The ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic also comes with StatTrak, the kill counter, in the game.

Who this wear suits

Minimal Wear is a good fit for the ★ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic if:

• you want a red bayonet and the 1.45 times gap to Factory New outweighs the float difference;


• your CS2 loadout is built in red and gray, and the blade should carry the main accent;


• you want a knife pricier than Field-Tested and Well-Worn, without the premium for the cleanest float.
