CS2 Doppler Guide: All about the different phases

What Doppler phases are there?

The colors of the Doppler phases can be blue/purple or black/blue. There are four main phases that combine the colors in different ways.

There are also three particularly rare Doppler phases that are very valuable: Ruby, Sapphire and Black Pearl. They are extremely rare and sought-after. A Doppler Ruby is completely red, a Sapphire is completely blue and a Black Pearl is very dark blue/purple. 

Doppler phase 1 

Phase 1 is the most common and least popular of the Doppler phases. It is characterized by intense dark blue, with an occasional hint of purple. Identifying phase 1 is easy, as its appearance is similar despite varying Float value and degree of wear remains largely the same.

Doppler phase 2

Phase 2 is the most popular Doppler phase, thanks to its unique color. With rich purple and hints of dark blue/black on both sides of the skin, it is a coveted choice. Identification is easy and its unique color scheme makes Phase 2 a favorite among CS2 players. 

Doppler phase 3 

This phase is not as popular as the other phases. It is a mix of dark tones (mainly blue and black). This phase is particularly recommended for players who want a Doppler knife but don't want to spend too much money. 

Doppler phase 4

Phase 4 is a rare and therefore very popular phase. It is very easy to recognize due to its combination of black and bright blue. Due to its popularity and rarity, this phase is significantly more expensive than the other phases, sometimes even twice as expensive. 

However, compared to the upcoming phases such as Sapphire, Ruby and Black Pearl, Phase 4 is an affordable choice.

Doppler Sapphire

The Doppler Sapphire is one of the rarest skins in the game with its completely radiant blue color. No other skin in CS2 is as intensely blue as the Doppler Sapphire. However, the price for this beautiful and extremely rare phase is also very high.

Doppler Ruby

The Doppler Ruby consists of a completely red surface. This phase is also easy to recognize, as the shiny red color is very unique in CS2. The Ruby is slightly cheaper than the Sapphire.

Doppler Black Pearl

The Doppler Black Pearl is the crème de la crème of the Doppler phases. In contrast to the eye-catching colors of the Doppler Sapphire and Doppler Ruby, the Doppler Black Pearl has a simple black design.

Although it is not that impressive, the Black Pearl is very popular due to its rarity. However, inexperienced Counter Strike players tend to confuse it with the Doppler Phase 1. However, the Black Pearl has no purple accents in the Pattern.

Doppler phase prices

The prices for Doppler phases vary enormously and depend on various factors. This range is determined by the phase, the Float valuethe degree of wear and tear and other individual characteristics. 

Follow these tips if you want to buy a Doppler knife

Finally, a few tips for you. Always take a look at the skins yourself beforehand, some phases still look brand new (factory new) even if they are more worn. This can save you a few euros.

Also check different marketplaces for CS2 skins, the prices can be very different and sometimes you can find a good deal on another site. In any case, avoid the Steam Market for buying and selling your skins.
