Doppler and Gamma Doppler are among the most notable skins in CS2. They can be found on different types of knives and have several variations with different color combinations. They are characterized by a marbled and wavy pattern that gives the knife an original look. The cost of a skin can vary depending on how unique the color combination is, so it's worth figuring out the phases ahead of time to sell your skins at a bargain price or not overpay extra when buying.
Types of Gamma Doppler skins
Gamma Doppler coloring is found in two main varieties – mythical and legendary. When obtaining a knife with this pattern, there is about a 90% chance of getting a mythical variant with one of the four phases. The phases are distinguished by the presence of different colors and their fractions: for example, Phase 1 – is a combination of black and green with black predominating, and Phase 2 – the same two colors but with green predominating. Phase 3 and Phase 4 – three-color. One combines green, black and aquamarine and the other – green, black and lime. The more expensive of them is considered Phase 2 because of the large proportion of green coloring, and the price of a knife with this coloring can reach 110-150% of the market price.
The legendary Gamma Doppler coloring falls in less than 10% of all knives of this type. It is entirely green, which is why players also call it «emerald» (Emerald). A knife with the legendary Gamma Doppler coloring can also sell for 900% of the market price (depending on the type of knife).

Types of Doppler Skins
The coloring of Doppler knives has a similar classification. The most expensive options – legendary, with a predominant red (Ruby, ruby) or blue (Sapphire, sapphire) color. Black Pearl skins are also highly prized. They are of the Ancient rarity and are a combination of black and very few other colors, such as purple or pale red.
Cheaper variants – are four phases that are classified similarly to the Gamma Doppler varieties, only using other colors:
Phase 1 – black and red, with more black;
Phase 2 – also black and red, but more red;
Phase 3 – black and blue, with more black;
Phase 4 – black and blue, but more blue.
In addition, Phase 1 and 3 may have admixtures of green and brown colors. The most expensive of these knives is – Doppler Phase 2, also called Pink Galaxy.
Thus, among both Doppler and Gamma Doppler skins, there are variants of different rarity. The most expensive and rare of these – variants with a single-color wavy pattern, such as Emerald, Ruby or Sapphire, and Black Pearl. The phases are less expensive, but they can also give quite a boost to the market value of the knife.
