Skin history
Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 appeared in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Sept. 22, 2021. It’s contained in The Train 2021 Collection that includes seventeen thematic weapon finishes. It was introduced to the shooter along with Operation Riptide.
Pattern features
The item represents a metallic finish with a visual effect resembling waves and swirls of smoke. The design is dominated by green shades, creating a gradient effect, while the pistol frame retains their original black color.
Effect of the pattern index
The pattern index determines the coloration. Skins with predominantly green areas on the slide are referred to as “Max Green.”
Effect of float
Float Value of the item differs from 0.00 to 0.50, so players can find this finish in every condition from “Factory New” to “Battle-Scarred.” As the handgun’s condition deteriorates, the appearance of the slide darkens, and the pattern fades, revealing the metallic base.
Rarity and popularity
The Glock-18 | Gamma Doppler Phase 2 is categorized as the “Covert” rarity and cannot be obtained with the StatTrak feature or as a souvenir variant. This skin is popular among CS2 players due to its rarity and the unique gradient pattern, which currently doesn't appear on any other firearm.
