Shadow Daggers | Autotronic

Origin Story

The Shadow Daggers | Autotronic features anodized red blades with steel mesh elements, creating a high-tech, lightweight metal aesthetic. Introduced on September 22, 2021, with Operation Riptide, this knife is part of the broader Autotronic knife finish set. While Shadow Daggers are often considered a niche knife model, the Autotronic finish offers a premium red and metallic option for those who favor this specific knife type.

Drop Chance

Shadow Daggers | 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 ($135.32): The red anodized blades display maximum saturation and a clean, uniform metallic sheen, with the steel mesh elements appearing bright.
• Minimal Wear ($85.37): The red blades remain vivid and clean, showing only subtle micro-scratches along the edges or tips under close inspection.
• Field-Tested ($72.46): Noticeable edge wear and scattered scratches appear across the red blade surfaces, particularly on the outer edges and tip zones, with the red color losing some richness.
• Well-Worn ($72.03): The blades exhibit heavier wear, with substantial scratching and a dull red tone, making the finish appear more used and less vibrant.
• Battle-Scarred ($69.11): The red anodized sections are heavily dulled with extensive scratching and worn patches, causing the blades to appear predominantly steel-colored with only muted red remnants.
