★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic (Field-Tested)

The ★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic in Field-Tested (FT) takes a float band of 0.15 to 0.38, with a kill counter added to the finish. The rank is Covert, and the ★ marks it as a knife. In CS2 the M9 Bayonet with this finish drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case.

What the ★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic looks like in Field-Tested

A red anodized strip runs down the center of the blade, with steel mesh, and the edges gleam with light metal. The handle is steel-gray with a grid of small squares, and the ring and guard are dark. According to Valve, the red anodizing and the steel mesh are there to lighten the knife. The counter version is set apart by a window on the blade showing the reading.

In Field-Tested the wear shows on the light edge, while the red strip holds. The condition is fixed at drop.

What to check before buying

A listing of this knife needs these parameters checked:

• counter reading: the kill count passes to the buyer as it is and cannot be reset;


• StatTrak Swap Tool: the only official mechanic, and it swaps the readings of two items of one type, so each leaves with the other's number;


• float: a band from 0.15 to 0.38;


• name tag: the name stays on the knife after purchase.

The artwork never varies, so pattern is no factor when choosing. From 0.15 to 0.38 the scuffs build up noticeably.

What the ★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic costs in Field-Tested

The counter adds about four percent to the price relative to the normal version. Within the counter version the ratios are as follows. Factory New costs 2.3 times as much, Minimal Wear 1.2 times, Well-Worn 1.13 times, and Battle-Scarred costs the same.

Among Covert StatTrak M9 Bayonets, Autotronic stands almost at the top: of eighteen with a price in this wear, sixteen cost less and one costs more, Slaughter. Nearest below are Case Hardened, Blue Steel, Crimson Web and Lore. The least expensive are Safari Mesh, Boreal Forest and Forest DDPAT.

Getting the ★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic

The finish comes from two cases, the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case. A craft yields the StatTrak version only if all five input skins are StatTrak too, because the game does not allow mixing normal and StatTrak skins. The result is a random item with the ★ mark from the collections of the input skins.

The normal version

The same finish without the counter is a separate item, the M9 Bayonet | Autotronic. If you do not need a kill counter, that is the place to go.

Who this wear suits

The ★ StatTrak™ M9 Bayonet | Autotronic in Field-Tested is a reasonable buy in these cases:

• you want a bayonet with a counter and a red anodized strip;


• the wear is priced 1.2 times below Minimal Wear and almost two and a half times below Factory New;


• the steel mesh and the red color fit your loadout.
