What are Gamma Doppler Phases in CS2?
Phases are stages of quality and rarity of certain skin lines in CS2. Usually, the higher number represents a more desired quality finish, meaning that the Phase 1 would be more common, while Phase 4 would be significantly more expensive and rare, but that's not the case with Gamma Doppler knives, where the most expensive ones are Emerald and some Phase 2 skins. Needless to say that the rarer the skin in CS2, the more expensive it is on the Steam market and other marketplaces like Skin.Land, where you can actually sell your skin for real money.
Gamma Doppler Phases determine the amount of jade green/turquoise on the skin. Back in the CS:GO days, all non-Emerald skins had the dark blue hues, but Valve ditched that aesthetic with the release of CS2. Thanks to the upgrade to Source 2 engine, the Gamma Doppler skinline looks even more vibrant and colorful. The Gamma Doppler collection is represented by various knives and the Glock-19. Make sure to check out our guide on Fade finishes that explains the difference between the most popular skinline patterns.
Gamma Doppler Phase 1
The Gamma Doppler Phase 1 skins were significantly upgraded in CS2, since Valve got rid of the black accents on all knives. The dark-blue parts of the blade became bright alterations of turquoise and purple. Phase 1 is no longer a dark ugly duckling, instead most Phase 1 skins boast a swirling blue-purple-cyan gradients with a touch of green. If you’re into bright gradients, then you should consider getting a Phase 1 skin. Some of the most popular skins in this category feature the Phase 1 Gamma Doppler Bowie Knife and the Phase 1 Gamma Doppler Falchion Knife.
Gamma Doppler Phase 2
The Phase 2 is much more desirable as it is the closest thing you could get to Emerald without spending the Emerald price. The Gamma Doppler Phase 2 is extremely popular due to the insane amount of jade green covering pretty much the entire blade. Due to the similarity with Emerald phase skins, one should expect to pay a higher price for Phase 2 knife. Some of the great Phase 2 skins you could get for a grand or less are The Phase 2 Gamma Doppler Bayonet and some would prefer The Falchion knife where the green hue covers the entire knife.
Gamma Doppler Phase 3
The Phase 3 is known for its cyan gradient and it is pretty popular in general, despite being less “green“ than the Phase 2 skins and Emerald skins. This category of the Gamma Doppler knives is now also known as “aqua” thanks to its bright mix of cyan and turquoise. Thankfully for many owners of these knives the black tint was completely removed with the switch to CS2. A brand-new Phase 3 Karambit or a Flip Knife would be a fantastic addition to your collection and a great investment for the times when knives become inevitably more expensive.
Gamma Doppler Phase 4
The Phase 4 skinline is pretty similar with the previous group, where the major difference lies in the amount of light-green, making these skin look extremely tropical. The green blend of different hues form a “lime” combination, making these skins look extremely good on something like the Phase 4 Bowie knife, reminiscent of the good old Predator and Commandos movies. Also, not the most expensive stage of Gamma Dopplers.
Emerald Gamma Doppler
The Gamma Doppler Emerald is the absolute king of this category, also known as the green gem. Not only are the Emerald skins are significantly rarer, making up only 10% of all Gamma Doppler skins, but also they have immense price tags, with some skins costing up to $23,000. Luckily, there are some green gems that mere mortals can afford, like the Emerald Glock-18 that one could get for $640 as of now.
