The Doppler finish in CS2 creates uniquely patterned knife skins that blend different colors, similar to precious gemstones. These skins gained even more visual appeal with CS2's improved lighting system.

There are 7 distinct Doppler variants:

Phase 1

• Dark purple, blue and pink blend
• Most common variant
• Price range: $150-500

Phase 2

• Vibrant pink and purple "Pink Galaxy" pattern
• Highly sought after
• Price range: $200-700

Phase 3

• Darker mix of blue, black and green
• Least popular phase
• Price range: $230-900

Phase 4

• Deep blue and black blend
• Often mistaken for Sapphire
• Price range: $500-1500

Ruby

Sapphire

Black Pearl

The value of Doppler skins depends on:

• Pattern variation (color distribution)
• Float value (wear rating)
• Knife type
• Phase rarity

Lower float values and rare color patterns can significantly increase a skin's worth. The unique combination of pattern and float means no two Doppler knives are exactly alike, making them highly collectible.

With CS2's enhanced lighting, these skins appear more vibrant and reflective than ever, cementing their status as some of the most desirable items in the game.
