★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 (Factory New)

The ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 in Factory New (FN) is a turquoise-green Falchion Knife in CS2, from the Gamma Doppler family. Phase 4 is a regular phase here, not a gem. Covert rank, with the ★ mark. The sources are the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case. The finish has two wears: the scale ends at 0.08, and past Minimal Wear (MW) it does not continue.

What the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 looks like in Factory New

The blade of the Falchion Knife is curved, with a point whose edge arcs outward. The lacquer is turquoise and aquamarine, with green and dark smoky swirls inside the layer, as in marble. The same pattern continues on the handle scales. The side plate with screws is dark metal. Valve writes that the paints are black and silver metallic, applied with a marbling medium and covered with a clear colored lacquer, which gives the color.

This wear of the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 runs from 0.00 to 0.07, which covers almost the entire range of the finish. The stretch is short, and differences between lots fall within the margin of error. In Factory New the lacquer is intact on the edge and on the handle ribs.

Where the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 came from

Valve drew Gamma Doppler itself, and the Steam Workshop has no submission for the finish. In the finish catalog it is number 572, and it came out on June 15, 2016. The Falchion Knife model is older than the finish: Valve introduced it on May 26, 2015, in the Falchion Case, during Operation Bloodhound.

On the Falchion Knife, Gamma Doppler came later, with the gamma knives of the Operation Riptide Case, which Valve presented on September 22, 2021. On January 21, 2022, the Dreams & Nightmares Case received them as rare special items. Valve's note of May 24, 2024 separately mentions a fix to the appearance of Gamma Doppler.

Phase and pattern

Gamma Doppler comes in several phases, and the phase stands right in the item name: Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, Phase 4 and Emerald. The buyer chooses it and does not pull it out of a case. The only gem here is Emerald. Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl exist only on Doppler.

Copies within Phase 4 are not identical either. The pattern index shifts the ratio of black, green and turquoise and where they sit on the blade. The lot title names the phase, while the layout of colors can be judged only from the picture of the lot itself.

What to check before buying

Choosing a particular ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 rests on these points:

• the phase in the name: Phases 1 to 4 and Emerald stand on separate pages, and turquoise and green are easy to confuse in a small image;


• float: in this wear it runs from 0.00 to 0.07, and by eye it does little inside the band;


• the name tag: a name the previous owner put on the Falchion Knife stays on it after purchase;


• the version: a StatTrak™ copy is a separate listing.

What the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 costs in Factory New

For this finish Minimal Wear costs about one and a half times as much, so the top wear here is the cheaper of the two.

Among the Covert finishes of the Falchion Knife, the four Gamma Doppler phases stand almost level. Phase 3 is a little higher, Phase 2 is about equal, and Phase 1 is a few percent cheaper. Stained and Safari Mesh lie nearby. Emerald is about two and a half times Phase 4, and only Doppler Ruby and Crimson Web are above it. The bottom of the rank, Bright Water, Freehand and Black Laminate, costs two to three times less than Phase 4.

Getting the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4

The sources of this finish are the Operation Riptide Case and the Dreams & Nightmares Case, and the phase at the drop is random. A trade-up works too: five Covert skins of one collection turn into a ★ item, and chance picks the model and the phase. Phase 4 can be taken deliberately only as a ready listing.

Is there a StatTrak version

The StatTrak™ version of the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 exists in the game.

Who this wear suits

Buying the ★ Falchion Knife | Gamma Doppler Phase 4 in exactly this wear makes sense if:

• you want a turquoise-green Falchion Knife from Gamma Doppler with no premium for Emerald;


• the edge and the handle ribs should stay under lacquer, and in Factory New it is intact;


• your CS2 loadout is built around cool colors, and the blade becomes its focal point.
