★ Bayonet | Autotronic (Field-Tested)

The ★ Bayonet | Autotronic (Field-Tested) is the mid-grade version of this Covert ★ knife finish, still built on that anodized red coating over lightweight steel mesh. Field-Tested sits in the middle of the wear range, showing a touch more wear than the top two grades without losing the finish's core look.

Design

The finish forgoes painted artwork for red anodizing combined with a mesh pattern cut into the steel to cut down weight. It's a Valve-made look built around a modern, mechanical theme rather than a decorative one.

★ Bayonet | Autotronic (Field-Tested) Float and Wear

Autotronic spans the full 0.00–0.85 float range, and Field-Tested falls in the middle stretch of it. Expect a bit more visible surface wear than on Minimal Wear, but the red anodizing still reads clearly at this grade. Field-Tested covers about 0.15–0.38 on the float scale.

Bayonet | Autotronic Rarity

Rarity: Covert ★ — the rare-special ("knife") tier, well above any regular Covert weapon skin. Wear grade doesn't change that; scarcity comes from pulling the knife slot itself.

Bayonet | Autotronic Case and Collection

Autotronic drops from the Gamma Case and the Gamma 2 Case rather than a single collection. That rare-special tier averages around 0.26% per case opened, so most Field-Tested copies in circulation came from the market rather than a fresh unbox.

Bayonet | Autotronic Patterns

Since the design is fixed, there's no seed-based pattern to look for on an Autotronic — every copy carries the same red-and-mesh look. What actually varies between copies is wear grade and float value, nothing tied to a paint index.

StatTrak & Souvenir

A StatTrak™ edition exists for this finish too, tracking confirmed kills permanently across trades and sales. No Souvenir version exists, since knives are never part of Major-tournament souvenir packages regardless of finish.

Bayonet | Autotronic Price

Field-Tested lands below Minimal Wear on the Autotronic price ladder but still sits inside the upper-mid range among this knife's finishes overall. It's a reasonable middle ground between condition and cost. It's available to buy on Skin.Land with instant delivery and no hidden fees.

FAQ

How worn does the Bayonet Autotronic look at Field-Tested?

It shows more visible surface wear than Minimal Wear or Factory New, since it sits in the middle of the finish's 0.00–0.85 float range. The red anodizing is still clearly visible, just with a bit less of that fresh, uniform shine at the higher floats within this grade.

Does the Bayonet Autotronic have StatTrak?

Yes, a StatTrak™ version exists and permanently tracks confirmed kills through every trade or sale. There's no Souvenir version, though — knives simply never appear in Major-tournament souvenir packages, no matter the case or finish.

Is Field-Tested worth it over a cleaner Autotronic?

If you want the look for less, yes — Field-Tested costs less than Minimal Wear or Factory New while still showing the anodized red clearly. Buyers chasing a near-mint blade should step up a grade, but for everyday use the difference is mostly cosmetic at this price gap.
