About the Butterfly Knife | Autotronic
The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic is a Covert knife skin that pairs the Butterfly Knife with a sleek red-and-black finish. It was released in CS:GO in September 2021 with the Operation Riptide Case, and it is one of the most popular newer Butterfly finishes in CS2.
Its clean, high-tech look suits the Butterfly Knife's famous flip animations, and it comes in every wear condition, so there is a wide range of copies to choose from. That makes it a common route into the Butterfly Knife for players who want a finish with strong colors.
The wear tabs at the top of this page show the current Butterfly Autotronic price for each condition.
Design
The steel blade is partly covered in translucent, anodized red paint, while the black handle has steel mesh inserts that cut its weight. The colors on this page break down as mostly grey, with red.
The design is the same on every copy. There is no pattern to check, so the look of a particular Butterfly Autotronic comes down to its wear.
How to Get the Butterfly Knife | Autotronic
There are three ways to get a Butterfly Knife | Autotronic in CS2.
- Buy it from a marketplace. This is the route most players take, because it lets you pick the exact wear and float. The offers at the top of this page show every marketplace with a listing.
- Open a case. The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic drops from the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. Knife drops are rare, at around 0.26% per case, and the finish you get is random.
- Trade up to it. Since October 2025, a trade-up contract using Covert skins can produce a knife from an eligible case. The finish is still random.
Wear Conditions and Float
The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic has a float range from 0.00 to 0.85, so it exists in all five wear conditions: Factory New (FN), Minimal Wear (MW), Field-Tested (FT), Well-Worn (WW), and Battle-Scarred (BS).
The finish holds up well. Marks only start to show on the handle from Well-Worn, and near the top of the range the whole knife takes on a darker patina. Use the 3D inspect tool on this page to see how a given wear looks before you buy.
Switch between conditions using the tabs above. Each one has its own listings and price history.
Variants
The Butterfly Knife | Autotronic comes in a standard version and a StatTrak™ version, which counts your kills with the knife. Pricempire lists each version separately, so you can compare them using the toggle above. There is no Souvenir version.
What Drives the Price of the Butterfly Knife | Autotronic
- Wear. The biggest factor. Because it comes in every condition, the gap between Factory New and Battle-Scarred copies is wide, though worn copies still look clean.
- Float within a condition. A low float inside any wear bracket usually carries a premium.
- StatTrak™. The StatTrak™ version is scarcer than the standard one and priced separately.
- The Butterfly Knife itself. It is one of the most wanted knife models in CS2, which lifts every finish on it.
- Case supply. The finish drops from two cases, so new copies keep entering the market as they are opened.
