Butterfly Knife | Autotronic

Origin Story

The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic was introduced to CS2 on September 22, 2021, as part of the Operation Riptide update. This knife features a bright red anodized blade with steel mesh elements, giving it a distinct red and dark metal color scheme. It is primarily valued by players who favor red and black loadouts. The knife is also collected by those looking to complete an Autotronic set across different knife types.

Drop Chance

Butterfly Knife | Autotronic is a knife-tier skin, so standard Valve rarity odds don't apply. Knives drop at a combined rate of approximately 0.26% from supported cases before accounting for which knife type and finish you get. Valve doesn't publish individual knife or phase probabilities.

Skin Condition

Float range 0 to 0.85. Exteriors: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in FN, MW, FT, WW, BS.

• Factory New (No Recent Price): The red anodized blade is pristine and vibrant, with sharply defined edges and clean steel mesh elements. This is a premium option for collectors seeking a flawless red Butterfly Knife.
• Minimal Wear ($1,238.73): The red anodized sections remain bright and nearly full, with only small edge nicks or faint wear on the spine and tip. This tier is often considered a value choice, offering visuals very close to Factory New at a lower price.
• Field-Tested ($997.11): Visible edge wear appears along the blade, with some red areas beginning to break up and expose darker metal underneath. The knife gains a used, battle-tested aesthetic while retaining its strong red presence.
• Well-Worn ($929.74): Red coverage is noticeably reduced, particularly along exposed edges, revealing more of the darker metal base. Scratches and scuffs are visible on both the blade and frame, creating a heavily used impression.
• Battle-Scarred ($949.99): The blade shows extensive wear, with large areas of red anodizing heavily chipped or worn away, especially on edges and high-contact surfaces. The knife appears significantly rougher, with patchy red and a dominant distressed look.

Visual Theme

Gunsmith: It has been anodized red and uses steel mesh to lighten the weight. This results in a bold red and dark metal color scheme. The anodized red blade is the most visible element during gameplay, especially along the spine and cutting edge during inspection animations. This skin is often grouped with other Autotronic knives and is described as having a more industrial or sci-fi aesthetic due to its mesh and steel framing.

Sticker Compatibility

The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic's red, black, and steel color scheme pairs well with red-themed stickers or those in black, grey, or white to create a cohesive look. Metallic or holo red and orange stickers can also complement the anodized finish. As with all knives, stickers cannot be applied directly to the Butterfly Knife | Autotronic itself, so sticker compatibility focuses on matching the knife with weapon skins and their applied stickers.
