CS2 Gamma Doppler Phases: A guide

What are Phases in CS2?

Phases are groups of different finishes of certain CS2 skins.

In the case of Gamma Doppler Phases, they are determining the share of green and turquoise color on the skin itself. Some of these combinations are really rare and therefore more desirable and expensive. These combinations are random, but follow a certain pattern index so you can distinguish them easily. These indexes are grouped together into several categories, which we will explore in this article.

Since CS:GO was updated to CS2 on September 27, 2023, the Gamma Doppler finish has increased in popularity and overall flashiness by a lot.

Instead of Doppler Finishes being exclusive to Knives, the Gamma Doppler Finish also comes for the Glock-18.

Gamma Doppler Phase 1

Before the update to CS2, Gamma Doppler Phase 1 skins have been a mixture of around 80% black and 20% dark green. However, generally speaking, Gamma Doppler Skins have had a real glowup in CS2.

Phase 1 is the best example, as the coloration has changed completely. What once was a dark green spot is now a bright mix of turquoise, blue, and purple to green. As it covers all of the possible colors of the Gamma Doppler finish, Phase 1 is for you, if you are looking for a bright and colorful addition to your loadout.

Gamma Doppler Phase 2

Phase 2 is the exact opposite of Phase 1. The entire Skin is filled with a mixture of neon green and turquoise, therefore it has no high contrasts in its pattern. Due to the fact that it comes as close to an Emerald version as you can get, Phase 2 is also the most desirable but expensive pattern version of Phase 1-4.

Gamma Doppler Phase 3

Phase 3 Gamma Dopplers still have the same mixture of green and a special version of turquoise also known as "aqua". As in every other Phase, the black part has been completely patched out. So you are getting an awesome mixture of green and aqua with noticeable contrast borders.

Gamma Doppler Phase 4

Phase 4 comes pretty close to Phase 3. The only noticeable difference is the smoother borders between different colors. You can see the fluent transitions between turquoise and green. This leads to a new color "lime" as turquoise and green blend together. Resulting in an awesome piece of art in CS2.

If you are a fan of lime Skins, the Phase 4 Gamma Doppler has to be your choice in CS2.

Gamma Doppler Emerald

The green gem of Gamma Doppler Skins is the Emerald version. This pattern elevates your Gamma Doppler to a whole other level. Not only will you own a stunning-looking fully green Knife or Glock-18, but also a rare Skin which supply is limited to only 10% of standard Gamma Doppler Phases. This is also reflected in the price, as the Emerald version is up to 900% more expensive than all other Phases.

The perfect match for any of your Gamma Doppler Knives or Glock-18 are green gloves. Especially good-looking are the Broken Fang Gloves Jade or the Sport Gloves Hedge Maze.
