All Four Doppler Phases
Doppler Knives have four numbered Phases and three separate Styles. Doppler Phases are simply numbered one through four, while Styles are Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl.
What is a Doppler Phase? It’s a name to a group of certain Doppler knife skins that look similar and in the same colour pallette. Each Phase combines a set of colour on Doppler Knives, depending on the mix of red and blue and how they look together.
Doppler Phases by Color:
- Phase #1: Mostly Black and Pink
- Phase #2: Mostly Purple and Pink
- Phase #3: Mix of Black, Blue and Green
- Phase #4: Mix of Blue and Black + a little Green
Each Doppler Phase has its own price category. Most often, their price tag changes from lower to higher in this order: Phase #1, Phase #3, Phase #4 and Phase #2. So, to answer which Doppler Phase is most expensive, it’s Phase 1. Also, there may be exceptions to this order, depending on rare patterns. Anyway, before buying or selling a Doppler knife, you should familiarize yourself with its price and its history on our Wiki.
Doppler Ruby Knives
Doppler Ruby knives are the most valuable. They are popular among players due to their rich and vibrant red color. After Valve released CS2 and its new lighting system, Doppler Ruby knives, along with Doppler Sapphires, became noticeably brighter and now shimmer a lot better, making them even more enjoyable to wear. Dopper Ruby knives are noticeably more expensive than their Phase counterparts: usually the difference is 3-4 times.
Doppler Sapphire Knives
Doppler Sapphire finishes and their blades are painted in a rich blue color with a slight hint of purple. Like the Ruby Dopplers, the Sapphires became much brighter in CS2, which, obviously, increased their prices. Initially, prices almost doubled, but have now dropped slightly. But even after this, Doppler Sapphire in CS2 is about 20% more expensive than in CS:GO.
Doppler Black Pearl Knives
The rarest Doppler, but not the most expensive, is Doppler Black Pearl. Its blades are covered in dark blue and purple, and the colors are so dark that the knife is almost black. In CS2, due to the new lighting system, the knife became a little lighter. This may also have affected its price.
What Knives have Doppler finishes/skins in CS2?
The Doppler Knife Finish was released only with the Chroma Case, meaning it has not been there at the very start. Thus, it is not available for all knives! So, here’s the full list of CS2 knives with Doppler finish:
- Bayonet
- Bowie Knife
- Butterfly Knife
- Falchion Knife
- Flip Knife
- Gut Knife
- Huntsman Knife
- Karambit
- M9 Bayonet
- Navaja Knife
- Shadow Daggers
- Stiletto Knife
- Talon Knife
- Ursus Knife
Which knives doesn’t have a Doppler skin? So far, Doppler has not been added for these five:
- Classic Knife
- Paracord Knife
- Nomad Knife
- Survival Knife
- Skeleton Knife
Perhaps Valve will add these knives to one of the next cases. For now we can only guess when this will happen.
Most Rare and Expensive Doppler
The rarest Doppler knives are Black Pearls with Minimal Wear. Some CS2 Knives have Black Pearl Dopplers in literally single items. Imagine that there are only six M9 Bayonet Doppler Black Pearls in the world! Yes, more people visited the Moon than there are such knives in CS2.
Among the most expensive Doppler Knives, we note Ruby and Sapphires for M9 Bayonet, Karambit and Butterfly Knife. Their cost often are even more than $10,000! The most expensive Doppler Knives can cost about $30,000 or even more.
