Bayonet | Rust Coat

Origin Story

The Bayonet | Rust Coat distinguishes itself with a grungy, post-apocalyptic aesthetic, appealing to players who favor a worn, "used" look over pristine finishes. Its unique visual identity, characterized by heavy rust and darkened steel, makes it a niche collector's item for those building wasteland-themed inventories. This skin was introduced on January 8, 2015, as one of the original CS:GO knife finishes in the Chroma Case knife pool. The in-game description notes that it remains "perfectly operational although the exterior surfaces have rusted," capturing its durable yet derelict charm.

Drop Chance

Bayonet | Rust Coat 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 0.4 to 1. Exteriors: Well-Worn, Battle-Scarred. StatTrak is available in WW, BS.

• Well-Worn (No Recent Price): At lower floats, the blade shows a mix of dark metal and prominent orange-brown rust patches, offering a balanced aged look.
• Battle-Scarred (No Recent Price): High-float copies feature very heavy, almost complete rust coverage, with the blade appearing dark brown and matte, making it a showcase tier for extreme wear collectors.

Model

Rust Coat uses the legacy Bayonet model, introduced with Full Spectrum on January 8, 2015. The inspect animation and third-person appearance match the original CS:GO version.

How to Obtain

The Bayonet | Rust Coat is obtained as a rare special item from opening a Chroma Case, Chroma 2 Case, or Chroma 3 Case. These cases are no longer in the active drop pool, making new drops infrequent.

Visual Theme

Patina: It is still perfectly operational although the exterior surfaces have rusted. This bayonet features a palette of muted brown, orange-brown rust, and dark grey tones. In first-person, the top and edge of the blade are most visible, presenting a mottled rust surface rather than clean steel. The Rust Coat finish is often grouped with other "destroyed" or "apocalypse" themed skins.

Sticker Compatibility

Knives do not have sticker slots, so the Bayonet | Rust Coat is not a craft base for stickers. However, players often pair this knife with other weapons in their loadout that feature brown, orange, or dark neutral stickers to maintain a cohesive, rust-themed aesthetic. It visually complements weathered or distressed sticker designs on other items.
